Disable autostart VM

[Skaterscare]

Hi,

 

I tried to stupidly passthrough my onboard soundcard on an VM that Autostarts. I should have known better, because it crashed the whole UnRaid server already on other VMs. Now i have to unassign the soundcard or disable Autostart VM. Is there a way to do that before unraid autostarts the VM and crashes everything?

Disable array auto start by editing disk.cfg on your flash drive (config/disk.cfg) and changing startArray="yes" to "no", if then you start the array manually VMs won't auto-start.

If you have a ryzen 3xxxx you can update to 6.9 rc2 to solve the problem

it worked as far as starting unraid without crashing immediately. but i cant edit the VM in the vms tab, because "the array must be started to view the virtual machines"

I think that if you start the array manually that the VM autostart setting is ignored?

VMs won't autostart after manual array start.

Correction, they do on v6.9, they don't on v6.8, not sure this was changed on purpose but if it's IMHO a bad idea.
