In order to use 3cores for a macOS VM I removed the topology XML: <topology sockets='1' cores=... Everything ran fine. Shut it down, tried to use CPU Pinning under Settings to change cores, and received a "Missing Sockets Attribute..." error. No problem, I'll add it back to the XML. Unfortunately the VM has disappeared. Doesn't show up in VMs, doesn't show up in CPU Pinning. How do I get this VM back?

This is an old question but I came across the same problem. Change network adapter type e1000-82545em instead of vmxnet3. Link to the SpaceinvaderOne video.

Assuming you plan on running the VM from the same vDisk - move the disk img file and them manually assign the new location in VM Template Manager

Did you add via XML or template manager? My issue to a similar problem was the OS trying to boot from the 2nd vDisk. Also the GPU is probably not being released/reset after force stop. Will need to reboot unRaid. I've had force stop issues which required the unRaid server to be powered down and unplugged for a period of time before the passthrough device would reinitialize in a VM.

Another user stuck at updating I've also started experiencing this issue. Tried to change the available cores on a Windows VM and it hangs on updating. Replicated across a variety of browsers. Doesn't affect the other VMs. Can use Settings>CPU Pinning to still change cores through GUI. Editing XML manually will also update correctly. However, clicking update in Form View in that specific Windows VM will hang, no matter if a change is made or not.

After many, MANY, diffcompare I narrowed the offending XML which led me to @SpaceInvaderOne explanation HERE. Essentially I was using both a boot device selector earlier in my XML: <boot dev='hd'/> and boot ordering in the disk attachment: <boot order='1'/> Only one is usable at a time. I chose the latter. Easier to understand when I inevitably change something in the future.

I tried adding a new vDisk to an existing VM two different ways: After using virtManager, the OS wouldn't load. So I reset and tried an XML edit. But following error prevents me from saving the XML: VM creation error unsupported configuration: per-device boot elements cannot be used together with os/boot elements Anyone able to clue me in on what's going on? Why does this work: <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='writeback'/> <source file='/mnt/user/domains/notmacOS/vdisk2.img'/> <target dev='hdd' bus='sata'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='3'/> </disk> but this gives the error: <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='writeback'/> <source file='/mnt/user/domains/notmacOS/vdisk2.img'/> <target dev='hdc' bus='sata'/> <boot order='1'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='2'/> </disk> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='writeback'/> <source file='/mnt/user/domains/_vDisks/notmacOS_scratchDisk.img'/> <target dev='hdd' bus='sata'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='3'/> </disk> I used the standard template manager GUI to add a vDisk, which generated the the second XML. Couldn't be more easy. So why the error and how to fix. Or is there a better way of adding the second vDisk?

You're not alone. Another recent thread with this problem.

I used the basic usb extender that comes with some Logitech devices and it also worked. I coiled it so it only moved the USB receiver maybe three inches. It also doesn't have the choke. But for some unknown reason it does the job.

Install VirtualBox and create a macOS VM. You can skip any special configuration tweaks as the most basic install will give you the App Store. Be prepared for a laggy low rez experience, but at least you'll be able to download clean OS imgs. This was my entry point. There are guides available that will point you to prebuilt VBox images.

Assuming the error is to be suppressed on logout, the question is then why can't I logout. Safari is used solely for unRaid, as it's otherwise unused and unaltered. I don't have to worry about a conflicting customization or plugin. Brave looks interesting, I'm certainly a fan of it's content payment model.

Lately VNC remote is unable to connect to VM's. I completely cleared the browser (Safari) of cookies and history, but on restart I was was still logged into unRaid. When I try to logout, the following errors occur. You can see where I reset the browser. Dec 2 09:34:33 fileStor nginx: 2018/12/02 09:34:33 [error] 5221#5221: *536 user "root" was not found in "/etc/nginx/htpasswd-logout", client: fe80::49d:89bd:5d4f:d7e, server: , request: "GET /logout.htm HTTP/1.1", host: "filestor.local", referrer: "http://filestor.local/Main" Dec 2 09:34:35 fileStor nginx: 2018/12/02 09:34:35 [error] 5221#5221: *536 user "root" was not found in "/etc/nginx/htpasswd-logout", client: fe80::49d:89bd:5d4f:d7e, server: , request: "GET /logout.htm HTTP/1.1", host: "filestor.local", referrer: "http://filestor.local/Main" Dec 2 09:34:39 fileStor nginx: 2018/12/02 09:34:39 [error] 5221#5221: *536 user "root" was not found in "/etc/nginx/htpasswd-logout", client: fe80::49d:89bd:5d4f:d7e, server: , request: "GET /logout.htm HTTP/1.1", host: "filestor.local", referrer: "http://filestor.local/Main" Dec 2 09:35:41 fileStor nginx: 2018/12/02 09:35:41 [error] 5221#5221: *757 user "root" was not found in "/etc/nginx/htpasswd-logout", client: fe80::49d:89bd:5d4f:d7e, server: , request: "GET /logout.htm HTTP/1.1", host: "filestor.local", referrer: "http://filestor.local/VMs" Dec 2 09:35:43 fileStor nginx: 2018/12/02 09:35:43 [error] 5221#5221: *757 user "root" was not found in "/etc/nginx/htpasswd-logout", client: fe80::49d:89bd:5d4f:d7e, server: , request: "GET /logout.htm HTTP/1.1", host: "filestor.local", referrer: "http://filestor.local/VMs" If I use a different browser, I can both logout AND connect to VM's with VNC remote. This has happened before, but I'm running out of alternative browser options. Any ideas to what is going on? I'm hoping the solution to *user "root" not found* fixes the VNC issue and so on.

Is wifi strictly required for Handoff to function? iCloud and App Store worked out of box, so I'm connecting to Apple, but the Allow Handoff checkbox is absent. While I don't use iMessage, I've seen guides that enable it withOUT wifi. Is this also possible with Handoff Basically, yes.

How are you able to route the video output of separate VMs to individual ports on the same GPU? I'm only familiar with passing through the entire GPU (all ports) to each VM.

Are you unplugging the monitor cable from the gpu of one running vm and plugging it into the gpu of another running vm?

Do Apple continuity features (iMessage, basic AirPlay, etc) work? Most hardware hackintosh builds I've seen over at tonymacx86 recommend a specific wifi card ($20-ish) for maximum compatibility. If continuity as a whole is broken, then passing through that wifi card might be the least time-consuming option.

Did you have to cut wires or do anything non-standard to use USB hubs with the Allegro Pro card? I haven't been able to get hubs to work with any of the cheaper USB cards I have.

Can't believe I'm going to spend $100 on a USB card, but sometimes 'just works' is worth the premium. Thanks for the update

Since you're not getting any traction I'll throw out an idea. Find a prebuilt vmdk image of XPenology and you'll be able to run it natively in unRaid. Here is a link on how to create a VM with the vmdk. Essentially:

Select the Tools tab > Docker Safe New Permissions. Click the 'Yes I want to do this' checkbox, then start. In almost every case of accessing Docker created files outside a Docker image, that will fix the permission errors.

Map Recordings as a network drive, then use a symlink or equivalent to point to the network share from the C:\ drive Windows will see a local folder, but it will access the mapped share.

To answer your questions in reverse order: The videos I recommend are from Spaceinvader One on Youtube. They are very recent and he uses the newest version of unRAID. I have found them to be by far the clearest reference for foundational unRAID knowledge. Do you have advanced view toggled? That will display options that will not be visible in videos using the basic view. Spaceinvader one covers libvirt here, in the replace cache video, but I've linked to the section where he begins the relevant topic. He has Krusader already installed at the point I link, but if you need help with it, there is another video in his channel dedicated solely to Krusader. Coincidentally I was able to replicate your issue. When I turned off VM Manager, then turned it back on, my VM's were no longer visible. I followed up with a backup (Settings>Community Applications>Backup) which toggles VM Manager off then on itself. That made my VM's visible again in the VM tab. I don't currently have answers why, but I plan on taking a look before it causes real grief.

Sounds like your VM XML's are located in the SSD, which is not auto mounting after reboot. Verify the SSD is mounted (not just present) in Unassigned Devices, then view the VM tab.
