mathgoy Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 (edited) Hi gents, I have a W10 VM running just fine for a while. This morning i updated to 6.9.0RC and decided to disable my GPU passthrough on that VM so I could use the GPU for hardware transcoding. I thought I did everything correctly but when I launch the VM I get that error message: Quote internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: 2020-12-13T09:52:17.639513Z qemu-system-x86_64: -blockdev {"driver":"file","filename":"root","node-name":"libvirt-1-storage","auto-read-only":true,"discard":"unmap"}: A regular file was expected by the 'file' driver, but something else was given You can see here mu XML file: This is a VM I use to rune blue iris only son using VNC graphics will be good enough (It's someting I've been using for a while) Can you see any obvious mistakes I did? <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <domain type='kvm'> <name>BlueIris</name> <uuid>83c76d2f-dadb-6679-4124-2ad20c301a45</uuid> <metadata> <vmtemplate xmlns="unraid" name="Windows 10" icon="default.png" os="windows10"/> </metadata> <memory unit='KiB'>17301504</memory> <currentMemory unit='KiB'>17301504</currentMemory> <memoryBacking> <nosharepages/> </memoryBacking> <vcpu placement='static'>6</vcpu> <cputune> <vcpupin vcpu='0' cpuset='7'/> <vcpupin vcpu='1' cpuset='17'/> <vcpupin vcpu='2' cpuset='8'/> <vcpupin vcpu='3' cpuset='18'/> <vcpupin vcpu='4' cpuset='9'/> <vcpupin vcpu='5' cpuset='19'/> </cputune> <os> <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-i440fx-4.2'>hvm</type> <loader readonly='yes' type='pflash'>/usr/share/qemu/ovmf-x64/OVMF_CODE-pure-efi.fd</loader> <nvram>/etc/libvirt/qemu/nvram/83c76d2f-dadb-6679-4124-2ad20c301a45_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' migratable='on'> <topology sockets='1' dies='1' cores='3' threads='2'/> <cache mode='passthrough'/> </cpu> <clock offset='localtime'> <timer name='hypervclock' present='yes'/> <timer name='hpet' present='no'/> </clock> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>restart</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/usr/local/sbin/qemu</emulator> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='writeback'/> <source file='/mnt/user/domains/BlueIris/vdisk1.img'/> <target dev='hdc' bus='virtio'/> <boot order='1'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/> </disk> <disk type='file' device='cdrom'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source file='/mnt/user/isos/Windows 10.iso'/> <target dev='hda' bus='ide'/> <readonly/> <boot order='2'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/> </disk> <disk type='file' device='cdrom'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source file='root'/> <target dev='hdb' bus='ide'/> <readonly/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='1'/> </disk> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-ehci1'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x7'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci1'> <master startport='0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x0' multifunction='on'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci2'> <master startport='2'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x1'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci3'> <master startport='4'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x2'/> </controller> <controller type='pci' index='0' model='pci-root'/> <controller type='ide' index='0'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x1'/> </controller> <controller type='virtio-serial' index='0'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x0'/> </controller> <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:97:95:58'/> <source bridge='br0'/> <model type='virtio-net'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </interface> <serial type='pty'> <target type='isa-serial' port='0'> <model name='isa-serial'/> </target> </serial> <console type='pty'> <target type='serial' port='0'/> </console> <channel type='unix'> <target type='virtio' name='org.qemu.guest_agent.0'/> <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='1'/> </channel> <input type='tablet' bus='usb'> <address type='usb' bus='0' port='1'/> </input> <input type='mouse' bus='ps2'/> <input type='keyboard' bus='ps2'/> <graphics type='vnc' port='-1' autoport='yes' websocket='-1' listen='0.0.0.0' keymap='en-us'> <listen type='address' address='0.0.0.0'/> </graphics> <video> <model type='qxl' ram='65536' vram='65536' vgamem='16384' heads='1' primary='yes'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/> </video> <memballoon model='virtio'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x06' function='0x0'/> </memballoon> </devices> </domain> Edited December 13, 2020 by mathgoy Quote Link to comment
mathgoy Posted December 13, 2020 Author Share Posted December 13, 2020 OK I found the issue. THis was a massive screwup fomr the desk-keyboard interface. Actually, in the VM Form, for some reason, the path to the windows10 drivers was wrong. I fixed it and it's all good now. Quote Link to comment
