  4. SimonF's post in [SOLVED] Unable to start VM after stopping it - missing svm was marked as the answer   
    Any reason why you are not using host passthru for the CPU? First one is missing the feature lines below are the ones you have on the 2nd working one.
     
    <cpu mode='custom' match='exact' check='full'> <model fallback='forbid'>qemu64</model> <topology sockets='1' dies='1' cores='1' threads='1'/> <feature policy='require' name='x2apic'/> <feature policy='require' name='hypervisor'/> <feature policy='require' name='lahf_lm'/> <feature policy='disable' name='svm'/> </cpu>
  5. SimonF's post in "Double Upgrade" with new upgrade method was marked as the answer   
    You need to be careful with this on 6.12 as overlay filesystems are in use which are still using the previous bz files.
     
    Doing a 2nd update will cause an issue as it will delete the bz files in previous and move the current. Likely to get a system issue before reboot.

  15. SimonF's post in NVMe Disks do not "spin down"... was marked as the answer   
    NVMEs go into low power mode by default, but disks will not show spun done. Function is being added in next release so you can see power draw but if changes very often. ps is the powerstate and as you can see when I started a VM it went from 3 to 0

  20. SimonF's post in operation failed: Multiple USB devices for 20bc:504d, use to specify one was marked as the answer   
    You need to use bus and device ID for same type. I have a plugin that will do that automatically for you based on the port it is connection or device+serial and map into the VM when it starts or is hot plugged. Also you need to set USB3 in the vm as USB2 will not have enough free USB ports.
     
    look for USB Manager in CA. You will need to remove the mappings from the VM Template of the ones you want to map using my plugin.
  21. SimonF's post in Unraid as VM in Proxmox - Install QEMU-Guest-Agent was marked as the answer   
    It is already in the OS. It just needs to be started. Check here.

    Rename /usr/local/sbin/qemu to qemu.old then start VM manager disable auto start and then rename the file back
  23. SimonF's post in Windows VM with GPU Passthrough Eventually Locks Up was marked as the answer   
    likely to be because you have these in the XML
     
    <memoryBacking> <nosharepages/> <source type='memfd'/> <access mode='shared'/> </memoryBacking> remove the memfd and shared lines. You may have tested virtiofs which requires these but does not remove when you dont use that option anymore.
  24. SimonF's post in How does noVNC work in VM Console? was marked as the answer   
    The vnc is part of qemu/libvirt stack. You can use external clients I use virt viewer but should work with other vnc clients.
     

  25. SimonF's post in SOLVED - Help - Sata controller is getting passed when I have VM's enabled was marked as the answer   
    On flash drive on another machine change autostart to no in this file
     
    root@GUITest:~# cat /boot/config/disk.cfg
    # Generated settings:
    startArray="no"
     
    Rename /boot/config/vfio-pci.cfg to .old
     
    put flash back in server boot.
     
    log in
     
    open terminal or use console.
    mv /usr/local/sbin/qemu /usr/local/sbin/qemu.old
     
    start array vm's should not autostart.
     
    update VM. 
    mv /usr/local/sbin/qemu.old /usr/local/sbin/qemu
     
    Dont forget to set autostart in disk settings.
