I was able to get the RX 580 back when making a new kvm. Still, vnc on the same new kvm have that distorted screen. // Frode

Passthrough GPU and new kvm issues. After passthrough of the AMD GPU to a Windows kvm for testing, the MacOS kvm no longer see the AMD GPU. It used to work fine before. The MacOS kvm starts fine with AMD passthrough, but no GPU visible. Tried to enabling graphics and sound device in VFIO-PCI Config, no change. Then I kind of gave up, deleted the kvm and ran Macinabox from the beginning. First startup with Disk Utility showed the disk from the deleted kvm. And another with the same name + "Data" ending. First start up was fine. Second startup after cpu pinning etc. I had this screen: Connecting with RealVNC (installed at first startup) was fine, but just 800x600 resolution. Passing through AMD GPU, the kvm started fine but no visible GPU. Sorry for a long post. I have two question: 1) How to install a fresh macOS Catalina Macinabox without old files luring in the system? 2) Is there a way to reset the AMD Card? Says graphics is reset compatible.

time I move the cache drives. 4 cache drives sit on Asus Hyper M.2 V2 PCIe card. When I moved this card from PCIe slot to another, I get this error this message. Yes, I have set the Asus card was moved to, to 4x4x4x4. This time did a startup with it. I restartet the server, all 4 drives was there, only one in the cache pool. Trying to add the 3 drives, I was warned that they would be deleted. Then I restartet with all drives in the cache pool without starting the Array. When restarted the error message occurred. This tend to happened every time I move the Asus Card. maxx-diagnostics-20200226-0053.zip Happy for any help.

Do I understand it correctly that the procedure for an unmountable cache drive is to backup the data on the ssd, then format it and copy the data back? Why isn't it possible to rebuild the ssd when running Raid? Cheers, Frode

Thank you very much. Its working.

Hi, Great docker container and video. Everything worked fine until I changed cpu pinning and memory, then this black screen. Xml mods done.

A small info from my side. After de-pinning binhex-Plex docker, transcoding works better. Now running 5 x 4K streams transcoded to 1080P/12Mbps incl. texting at the same time works fine.

It was not possible to register a new AppleID account either.

The kvm runs fine with 12 cores and Nvidia gpu. But I can not log into my Apple ID account. I changed the serial number in Clover, that didn't fix it. Any ideas? Cheers, Frode

Thanks you very much. Late night (as we say about 3:30am in Norway) support. // Frode

It starts after removing <topology sockets='1' cores='4' threads='2'/> What does that mean? // Frode

A bit embarrassing...."topology line"????? // Frode

Hi, I have set up a High Sierra as guided by SIO. 4 cores works fine, but higher No. Cores don't work. It then loops in the startup sequence. Happy to get some advise. Cheers, Frode Supermicro X11DAI-N, version 1.02 | AMI 3.1 | dual Xeon Silver 4116 | 64 MB RAM | RAID 10 Cache

Up,,,,,,

Hi, I am troubling getting the docker up and running. I have copied the crt and ovpn files from Vypr to the openvpn folder. Happy for any ideas? Cheers, Frode vpn.rtf

I was able to get the cloned MacOS vm up and running with Mac a flashed Nvidia GTX1070 GPU. How to passthru USB devices? I see no option on "Other PCI Devices". Ticking "ATEN ........" did not change anything. Cheers, Frode

It keep restarting in loops. When going into Clover boot options it hangs, see picture. Verbose mode, is that choosen within Clover or just command+v? Nothing happened with command+v.

I am trying to clone a MacOS HS set up after SIO`s instructions. This is how I do it: - Adding Linux template, keeping all as is except memory,vDisk Bus set to SATA and no start up. - Deleting the vdisk inside the new VM folder. - Copying all the files inside the folder of my current MacOS HS VM to the new folder VM. - Changing the disk path to the vdisk copied. - Copying the xml file of current VM to the new VM, but keeping: Name of the new VM uuid nvram Mac adress The new Vm starts into the clover, but when trying to start VM the Apple logo appears in the mid/left side and it goes back to clover startup In the second attempt is stops and the Apple logo changes to a kind of a stop sign. Any ideas?

80-85 is fine, but 35GB/s when another is running at 3x-

Hi, Backup fra unRaid cache drive to a Nas in my cabled network gave about 35MB/s transfer speed. Is that the transfer speed to expect? When doing backup from/to the same shares with Acronis True Image run on a VM is was about 100MB/s. // Frode

Thanks. Is it the same with NFS shares as well?

Hi, I have problems getting duplicati to run. Setup is fine, destination is a smb share from a Nas. I backing up a vdisk (not running) to this destination. It runs to about 10%, then it stops. At that point I am able to move around inside the duplicati WebGui. Ending the duplicati WebGui browser tap, it is not possible to reconnect (from the duplicati docker). Restarting or stopping the duplicati docker is not possible. The only way to end the duplicati docker is to restart the server. Then I am able to start and connect to duplicati. Starting the backup job the % counts up to where it first stopped, and there it hangs again. When hanging one processor thread is running constant at 100%. Some pics and logs are attached. Hoping for some good advices. // Frode Edit: Restart of the server from unRain WebGui is not working after the duplicati job run. Graceful shutdown from IPMI not working, only hard shut down. maxx-diagnostics-20190521-1354.zip

Yes. Yes. Pushing the "Load shares" button not shares are available, and not possible to type. Not pushing the "Load shares" button, instead typing the share name and then add without pushing "Load shares" is possible. Then pushed the button "Mount". Then it the button shows "Mounting" and stays there until I move to another area of the Server. I then get a question from Safari if I want to store the password. Just ignoring that, going back to Main. And hola, now the share on the Nas is mounted. So ignoring "Load servers" and "Load shares" buttons did the trick. A bit confusing I have to say. Thank you very much for the help. Cheers, Frode

I only have one subnet on my router. 192.168.1.10, as Qnap NAS, is set up smb/Workgroup, not AD. The Nas is fully available to other computers. With Goodsync I have made smb sync between the Nas and the unRaid server. After typing 192.168.1.10 only and push the "search for servers" button, nothing happens. Well, a small "blink", that's all. Adding user/pass and then push Load shares, no shares is visible. Please see attached video for how I do it. Router is restarted. Screen Recording 2019-05-20 at 21.59.03.mov
