    [6.6.6] VM Missing After CPU Pinning Error

    in General Support

    Posted

    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?

    I keep getting 'there was an error connecting to the Apple ID server' when clicking Sign In on the Appstore.

    I suspect it might be because Apple doesn't recognise the VM as a real MAC?

     

    I have followed everything in the guide so I'm not sure why I can't access the Appstore.

     

    Appstore login works on other machines and High Sierra VM, only Mojave has a problem.

    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.

    is adding vdisk kind of buggy?

    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.

    Problem adding new vDisk to existing VM

    in VM Engine (KVM)

    Posted

    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?

    Is it possible to make the boot/install media on a Windows machine, for people who don't have easy access to a computer already running Mac?

    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.

    user root not found in htpasswd

    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.

    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.

    Windows 10 / RX 560 GPU - .5 second pauses

    No, I'm using the vga input for one vm and the dvi input on the other vm, then using the monitor input button to switch inputs.

    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.

     I was toggling the 3rd monitor between vga and dvi inputs as needed. So when the RX 560 didn't have the 2nd display, it would cause the pauses. 

     

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

    Airserver within KVM Mac High Sierra

    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.

    I decided to try the Allegro Pro USB 3 card.  It has been flawless so far (2 weeks) with hubs plugged into 3 of the 4 ports and no issues with many USB devices passed to various VM's.  IOMMU split out without any extra settings or overrides on my EP2C606-4L server.  

     

    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

    Xpenology VM any one running this ?

    no one got this working?

    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:

     

    Quote

    I had no problems getting this to run!    I did the following when creating the VM:

    • create a new VM and select the Centos option
    • make sure that the Advanced view is selected (at top right)
    • set the BIOS to use SeaBios
    • Set the primary vdisk to use SATA, Manual mode and then set the path to point to the .vmdk file
    • set the network to a bridged connection (br0 in my case)
    • create the VM

    it will now be running and you can connect to it via the built-in VNC Remote or via a VNC client running on another machine (using the port shown for the running VM).   If you want to connect directly to the VM bypassing VNC then you will need to gets its IP address either from your router, or using a scanning application such as Fing, or by doing an ‘ifconfig’ command from a login via VNC.

    Made this question easier to digest:

    In SpaceInvaderOne video (gridrunner), he is able to Copy/Paste/Delete from a Mounted Cloud Drive using Krusader. I can do this too and it works fine.

     

    I get permission errors when I try to do this through a Win10 VM though. The SpaceInvaderOne video shows successful Copy/Paste/Delete from a Mac VM, but not a Win VM. Wonder if anyone can help

     

    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.

    Need VM Settings Using UD SSD For Dummies ... me

    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.
