bump!

Hi, I can't get our Windows 7 VM (Ultimate x64) to run with more than one vCPU enabled. Installation attempts failed until I left it pinned to the last vCPU. Now, with a working, running installation, if I enable any other cores, it crashes while booting Windows or hangs while trying Windows startup repair. It's an i7-2600 which should have VT-d. Please help! This has completely stalled our NVR project. <vcpu placement='static'>1</vcpu> <cputune> <vcpupin vcpu='0' cpuset='7'/> </cputune> <resource> <partition>/machine</partition> </resource> <os> <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-i440fx-3.0'>hvm</type> <loader readonly='yes' type='pflash'>/usr/share/qemu/ovmf-x64/OVMF_CODE-pure-efi.fd</loader> <nvram>/etc/libvirt/qemu/nvram/2b9ece6b-b771-dd20-11ed-3106f614c562_VARS-pure-efi.fd</nvram> </os> <features> <acpi/> <apic/> <hyperv> <relaxed state='on'/> <vapic state='on'/> <spinlocks state='on' retries='8191'/> <vendor_id state='on' value='none'/> </hyperv> </features> <cpu mode='host-passthrough' check='none'> <topology sockets='1' cores='1' threads='1'/> </cpu>

I was able to install the VM but I can't add more vCPU cores or it crashes on startup. It offers to run startup repair (then hangs with a black screen) or boot normally, which crashes and restarts. That's with the video driver set to QXL or Cirrus. So we have a Windows 7 VM that works on half a core or won't boot with multiple cores. Any tricks I'm missing? I'd rather not reinstall but I'm open to that if it works.

Is there any point to editing files in /etc/ssh/ ? I followed the above instructions and found my changes in /etc/ssh/sshd_config are gone. I assumed standard files would override those under /boot/config ... guess I have it backwards?

Howdy, I'm trying to get the stock Ubuntu (server) running as a docker. It seems to install fine but after hitting start, it just stops after about 5 seconds. The Unraid Docker log stays completely empty. I've removed the image and reinstalled it already. I'm open to suggestions!

Thank you both! Changing to a single core was enough in this case.

Hi, I'm trying to install Win 7 to a VM with the following settings: 1440fx-3 CPUs pinned: 2,6,3,7 OVMF raw disk GPU = VNC / QXL After adjusting the UEFI to boot from the ISO, I can connect to the VM using VNC. I see the message "press any key to boot from CD", I hit a key, a loading bar completes, then finally the Starting Windows screen shows, then ... nothing. Unraid shows various CPUs scaling up and down until around the time the VNC screen goes black. At that point, one CPU core stays pegged at 100% for 20m and going. Unraid terminal shows qemu-system-x86 at 100%. Ram usage is at 50% and the server is otherwise idle. Any ideas / suggestions?

I get the same helpful error everyone else mentions but the instructions I've found don't help at all. Anyone have a setup that works? Error: Edgerouter settings: # show service dns forwarding cache-size 150 listen-on switch0 options rebind-domain-ok=/unraid.net/

The Hikvision software has a number of quirks that you'll find scattered across various forums. Once you figure them all out, it works. If BlueIris is working, great. Otherwise, Ivideon and Zoneminder were my two first choices.

As I recall, I wasn't able to get this to work. The Hikvision firmware is full of undocumented quirks / bugs, like the fact that they won't work with network drives / partitions above a certain size limit. No one even knows what that limit is, but it's somewhere between 200 and 300GB. I had to create multiple 200GB partitions on my server, then share each one separately to the cameras. You also must create a folder inside each partition because the cameras fail if there's anything at all in their network share folder (Linux puts a Lost&Found folder on each partition).

For me, the issue was because of Secure Boot. I disabled it in the Tiano UEFI (I believe it was just for the subsequent boot) and was finally able to boot from my Windows 7 ISO. Strange because the ISO is direct from Dell for my PC. Previous attempts at booting from the "DVD" were throwing an error related to secure boot but the Tiano system was not displaying it, so I'll chalk up this two hour chore to bad design.

@limetech This is what I've generally assumed bitrot to be. My understanding is that as a drive (particularly hdds) starts to fail, files on bad sectors can be corrupted or unreadable. Am I missing something? I've had files corrupted for unknown reasons and now I keep everything important on btrfs raid1. Actually, this is the main reason I'm not on unraid -- I want checksumming and files repaired before going to backup disks. That and the fact I don't need cache drives. Can the Dynamix File Integrity plugin or something similar alert me with a list of corrupted files upon detection? That's all I'm using BTRFS raid1 for but it gives no performance benefit.
