    snmp

    im really surprised there isnt anyone who has requested this. i think it should be built into unraid by default. at the moment i am using a plugin which hasnt been touched for a while, tbh not even sure its being maintained. it would be awesome as well if the full snmp map was setup so we can pull all possible data. including hdd temps.
  2. this test was run while i was downloading guest cpu was sitting around 7% Dynamic - http://take.ms/xlgfA Pinned - http://take.ms/W4BCN now im no expert on the latency readings but there isnt much diffrence between the two as far as i can see... am i wrong ?
  3. thought id share this as well http://take.ms/aiDY4 this is a screenshot of my processor's load from the past week i wanted to point out that none of my cores have gone above 50.7% usage and i am currently running 6 guests 4 dockers (which includes plex) i am also playing around with dynamic memory on one of the windows guests.. seems to be working ok but it allocates the max memory rather than the min then bursting up (maybe this is a windows 7 bug, will do some more testing with this)
  4. yeah you will need to remove any isolation so that unraid has access to all the cores.
  5. Hi Guys, really sorry for the delay ok so here we go... so a while ago i found a video on how to manage unraid vms with virt-manager. (bottom of post) so i watched the video made the change but hadnt touched it since. i finally connected to unraid with virtual machine manager and noticed that it did not have any settings to pin processors to guests. so i thought ok this is intersting... so i changed the cpu configuration model type to Hypervisor Default and set the processor count to 4 i then went back into unraid and edited the xml on for that guest and removed the processors pinning <cputune> <vcpupin vcpu='0' cpuset='0'/> </cputune> the reason you have to remove this section from the xml is because virtual machine manager will not remove anything from your xml config it will only add/modify things so then i was left with the following section for processor in my config. <vcpu placement='static'>4</vcpu> this gives me 4 virtual processors but because of the limitation with windows 7 i had to do some more magic which was to split the processor up into threads and cores, this can also be done in virt-manager by selecting manually set cpu topology thats it... now if you go back to unraid and edit the guest you will notice that there is no cpu's ticked for the pinning. so now your vm's processor is not fixed to one core/thread like a proper hypervisior like ESX i have since changed all my guests to be dynamic i havent had any issues so ill continue to setup guests like this. please note if you make any changes in unraid that are not in the edit xml section you will probably kill the changes above and unraid will probably try and make you pin a processor. hope this helps.. if anyone has any questions let me know im happy to help how to connect virt-manager to unraid to help manage your VM's -
  6. if you are running a gaming vm then i would run run the ssd with unassigned drives and have it dedicated to just that vm
  7. so im currently playing with dynamic cpu allocation aka not pining processors to a specific vm. i currently have 1 vms running in dynamic config. which is being used download stuff (windows) - 1 socket 2 cores 2 threads (4 vcpus) i have another 4 vms which i am going to convert over to dynamic allocations and see how it goes but at the moment i cant see much performance decrease and this way i can allocate as many processors i like to each guest. baring in mind these guests are not doing anything cpu intensive. my processor rarly goes over 6% usage (Xeon E5-2620) and i have 5 dockers running at the same time including plex! has anyone else played around with this ? if so whats your thoughts ?
  8. Hi All, my docker.img file was running on 2 SSD's in a mirror with BTRFS and using Unassigned Devices to mount it. so i upgraded to 6.2 last week and thought id finally reboot. after i rebooted i noticed that the docker would not start. so i deleted the image and attempted to recreate it ( no file was created on the file system ) changed the path of the docker.img to a disk thats in the array aka disk1 and it created a docker.img file without any issues. so i thought ok ill create it on disk 1 then move it back to the mirror but still no go. it tells me the image needs to be recreated and after that it wont create the image. ive checked the permissions on /mnt/disk1 vs /mnt/SSD_R1 and they are both the same. any ideas would be greatly appreicated. Thanks
  9. Hi All, so i recently decided to build a best of a machine for unraid to run on. i moved everything from my old setup to the new one and i am now getting the following error in the log every second Apr 23 12:58:01 Storage kernel: dmar: DRHD: handling fault status reg 702 Apr 23 12:58:01 Storage kernel: dmar: DMAR:[DMA Read] Request device [04:00.0] fault addr ffe5a000 Apr 23 12:58:01 Storage kernel: DMAR:[fault reason 06] PTE Read access is not set Apr 23 12:58:01 Storage kernel: dmar: DRHD: handling fault status reg 2 i have done some googling and come across this https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=176398 however turning off visualization is not an option for me because i want to run VM's the last suggestion on that page is to try intel_iommu=igfx_off so i edited the boot up options and put that in and unfortunately that did nothing , i tried playing around with the options inside the bios and tried with 1 video card and after a while the machine will just hang and stop responding. also when i do reboot the machine i have lost my cache configuration and i need to reset this every single time. i have also tried the latest beta of unraid without any luck. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  10. aaaaaaaaand you my friend are a legend,that seems to have done the trick. any ideas why it would have worked fine before using the onboard sound card ?
  11. ok so here goes i had unraid working fine with a virtual machine and graphics and sound passed through to the guest but unfortunately i broke unraid and had to reinstall. i got a brand new usb setup the array and let the parity run and everything was sweet. i then spent the next couple of nights figuring out how to passthrough the SSD drive to the guest. got that all running sweet with graphics card via vnc. now every time i try and pass through the graphics to the guest my unraid locks up and i have to force restart the machine. i originally had issues with the graphics not working and crashing when starting the vm and i had to run it with PCIE override set to YES, i then did some more reading and found if i move the graphics card to a different slot this will fix the issue ( by moving the graphics card to a different IOMMU group) and it did so i changed PICE override back to NO and it ran perfectly, so i dont understand why it keeps breaking now. here is my config for the test guest i have just created. <domain type='kvm' xmlns:qemu='http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/qemu/1.0'> <name>test</name> <uuid>be347bf8-466f-d5d6-28b7-092170b01cdb</uuid> <metadata> <vmtemplate name="Custom" icon="windows.png" os="windows"/> </metadata> <memory unit='KiB'>524288</memory> <currentMemory unit='KiB'>524288</currentMemory> <memoryBacking> <nosharepages/> <locked/> </memoryBacking> <vcpu placement='static'>1</vcpu> <cputune> <vcpupin vcpu='0' cpuset='0'/> </cputune> <os> <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-i440fx-2.3'>hvm</type> </os> <features> <acpi/> <apic/> <hyperv> <relaxed state='on'/> <vapic state='on'/> <spinlocks state='on' retries='8191'/> </hyperv> </features> <cpu mode='host-passthrough'> <topology sockets='1' cores='1' threads='1'/> </cpu> <clock offset='localtime'> <timer name='hypervclock' present='yes'/> <timer name='hpet' present='no'/> </clock> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>restart</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64</emulator> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='writeback'/> <source file='/mnt/disk4/test.img'/> <target dev='hdb' bus='virtio'/> <boot order='1'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x0'/> </disk> <disk type='file' device='cdrom'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source file='mnt/disk1/apps/Apps/Microsoft/8.1 Enterprise/SW_DVD5_SA_Win_Ent_8.1_64BIT_English_MLF_X18-96759.ISO'/> <target dev='hda' bus='ide'/> <readonly/> <boot order='2'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/> </disk> <controller type='usb' index='0'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x2'/> </controller> <controller type='pci' index='0' model='pci-root'/> <controller type='ide' index='0'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x1'/> </controller> <controller type='virtio-serial' index='0'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </controller> <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:3f:c9:e0'/> <source bridge='br0'/> <model type='virtio'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/> </interface> <serial type='pty'> <target port='0'/> </serial> <console type='pty'> <target type='serial' port='0'/> </console> <channel type='unix'> <source mode='bind' path='/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/channel/target/test.org.qemu.guest_agent.0'/> <target type='virtio' name='org.qemu.guest_agent.0'/> <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='1'/> </channel> <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb' managed='yes'> <source> <vendor id='0x0566'/> <product id='0x3055'/> </source> </hostdev> <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb' managed='yes'> <source> <vendor id='0x046d'/> <product id='0xc52b'/> </source> </hostdev> <memballoon model='virtio'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/> </memballoon> </devices> <qemu:commandline> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='ioh3420,bus=pci.0,addr=1c.0,multifunction=on,port=2,chassis=1,id=root.1'/> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='vfio-pci,host=02:00.0,bus=root.1,addr=00.0,multifunction=on,x-vga=on'/> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='vfio-pci,host=00:1b.0,bus=root.1,addr=01.0'/> </qemu:commandline> </domain> any ideas or suggestions on what i can try would be great. thanks in advanced storage-diagnostics-20160112-1900.zip
