Bump!

I currently have two VMs running Windows 11 on separate pass-through hardware configurations. One of these VMs, dedicated for personal use, operates without any issues. However, the other VM, which I primarily use for work, encounters occasional problems. Both VMs utilize different NVME drives as their primary storage (with Windows installed directly rather than on a virtual disk). The hardware pass-through for both VMs includes USB ports, NVME storage (designated as 😄 drives), and dedicated graphics cards. While the personal VM functions smoothly, the work VM occasionally experiences lock-ups over the weekend, requiring a forced stop instead of a simple reset. Upon attempting to restart the work VM, I encounter an error message. The only effective solution I've found is to shut down the entire server, as rebooting alone leads to an IOMU error persisting on the device. After a complete server shutdown and subsequent restart, the work VM functions again. I've attempted troubleshooting by swapping the NVME drives location between the personal and work VMs, as well as realigning the IOMU allocation in the VM settings. However, these efforts haven't resolved the issue, indicating it's not related to the NVME port allocation. Even after cloning the NVME drive and installing it anew, the problem persists, ruling out a fault with the NVME drive itself. Both VMs share identical power settings within Windows, with all peripherals configured to remain active and prevent sleep mode. Despite these measures, the issue persists, particularly noticeable during periods of VM inactivity over weekends. I suspect the problem lies either with Unraid or within the Windows environment, but I've been unable to pinpoint the exact cause. I'm reaching out here in hopes that someone might offer insights or suggestions toward resolving this perplexing issue.

@SimonF So I have my QNAP TVS-871 and running the plugin and seems to work. My question is this: Is there a way to completely customize the screen? Like I want to enable it during boot and have it say something like loading Loading Unraid..., then once loaded change to Array Stooped, then once Array is started say Array Loading. then once loaded say Array Loaded. then wait 10 seconds and show IP address then after 10 mins turn screen off, if button is pressed (the 2 buttons on qnap) the turn display on and show x if button is pressed again show y, if pressed again show z ect... I am thinking something along the lines of user scripts to control the screen once loaded if possible?? Is this even possible? Also Thanks form getting this far. It was annoying to see the screen never update to anything until now. Note: That on the setting page in unraid you have the "Online Manual" link still back to the APC UPS Manual. maybe update to bring you to this thread? I changed line 66 of the 'LCDSettings.page' to this <span style="float:right;margin-right:10px"><a href="https://forums.unraid.net/topic/136952-plugin-lcd_manager/" target="_blank" title="_(UNRAID Forums: [PLUGIN] LCD_MANAGER)_"><i class="fa fa-file-text-o"></i> <u>_(Unraid Plugin Forum)_</u></a></span> and now looks like this: I also updated the ICON to be more inline with UNRAID Icons (Attached if you want to use)

I don't have drives spin down. So that's not the issue. Other thoughts?

SO I have my trusty qnap TS-871 and have unraid (Current version) running on it. I never get crc errors on spinning drives, but I have 5 SSD's I have tested 2 brand new and they all throw CRC errors. Did a pre Clear and still got CRC errors. But if I replace them with a spinning disk I get no issues. My other server also hates SSD's. So my question is this. Does unraid hate SSD's (Also my NVME's are fine) Seems like almost anyone I know who uses SSD's get CRC errors. Just seems odd (atleast 10 people)

have mot booted into safe mode, and don't have time to check, just wanted to report since me and a friend both experience it. Can't afford to shutdown to test. I use it for work.. I will see if I can this weekend.

So I just downloaded and installed the docker, can you elaborate on the settings you show and where I enter in the info? And are you just using you external IP address or using an cname?

Can someone make this a community application. It's toncomplicated for most and I have a few people who would love to install but they would have no clue how to set it up. So hopefully someone here can make it into a community app. https://community.hubitat.com/t/guide-echo-speaks-server-on-docker-or-without/111186?u=steve.maddigan&fbclid=IwAR17n7Dcs_O1FbCDP0sKgknIP1GkXXCjJvn8OZueH1XPCnagyTHLHswzx9I

So I have my UPS do weekly test for 10 seconds, when it does it triggers an email that its on battery, but does not send that its back on main. The test is very short and looking at the logs its happens so fast it only sends the one email. Is there a way to set a time that it must be on batteries before sending notification, something like 15-30 seconds? Oct 9 11:05:08 HuskyServer apcupsd[12213]: Power failure. Oct 9 11:05:14 HuskyServer apcupsd[12213]: Running on UPS batteries. Oct 9 11:05:14 HuskyServer apcupsd[12213]: Mains returned. No longer on UPS batteries. Oct 9 11:05:14 HuskyServer apcupsd[12213]: Power is back. UPS running on mains. Oct 9 11:05:14 HuskyServer sSMTP[23651]: Creating SSL connection to host Oct 9 11:05:14 HuskyServer sSMTP[23651]: SSL connection using TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 Oct 9 11:05:17 HuskyServer sSMTP[23651]: Sent mail for ***********@gmail.com (221 2.0.0 closing connection x14-20020aa784ce000000b0068fb5e44827sm6553524pfn.67 - gsmtp) uid=0 username=****** outbytes=778 Also what is an android free push notification that works best with the unraid agents? I see several option but wonder what one is free.

got my new server up and running and reinstalled, however I am unable to access GUI. Looking at the log I see this error: (Token removed from my post) 2023-10-02 16:49:15,300 DEBG 'start-script' stdout output: [warn] Unable to successfully download PIA json payload from URL 'https://10.10.112.1:19999/getSignature' using token It tries this 10 times and then stops and never connects. Never had an issue on old server.

So I have setup another unraid machine and setup 2 vms with windows 11 pro installed on each. Both units have dedicated video cards/sound, NVME, & USBs passed through to each. Randomly one CPU on a vm will get stuck at 100% These are the cores assigned to one vm and as you can see one is now stuck at 100% when looking at task manager in the VM, no proccesses are really hitting CPU, and looking at performance / CPU / Logical Processors, they are not being used much, and the core in question does not show 100% usage. Is this just an issue with UNRAID GUI? It has happened on my other vm also but on a different core. Things I should look at?

Thanks for that link. I think I have tracked down my issue to my 980 Pro NVME. Its the only one throwing the error. All my other NVMEs in my cards are 990 Pros 2TB (Except for a 980 pro 1TB) IOMMU group 13: [144d:a80a] 62:00.0 Non-Volatile memory controller: Samsung Electronics Co Ltd NVMe SSD Controller PM9A1/PM9A3/980PRO [N:0:6:1] disk Samsung SSD 980 PRO 2TB__1 /dev/nvme0n1 2.00TB Seems other have the same issue if they are not the 990 Pros. I have ordered a replacement 990 (I can use the 980 elsewhere) And I believe this will solve my issue. (Hopefully). Thanks again so much for helping. (Google was not my friend this time, did not think to search for my motherboard as the issue / card)

ya I did notice I missed the e, so I guess I deleted my post as you repiled, but I did fix that and issue still there. Guess I will leave as is until I notice an issue. (did notice a bit of a speed increase when booting when i updated it) For reference to others this is what my line looks like now. label Unraid OS GUI Mode menu default kernel /bzimage append pci=realloc=off pcie_aspm=off isolcpus=18-31,50-63 initrd=/bzroot,/bzroot-gui

I have made the change and will reboot later once mover finishes. (in a few hours). Thanks for the help.
