How to edit vm configuration when VM-manager is disabled ?

Featured Replies

I removed on of my gpus from my unraid server and after that my windows10 vm stopped working as the gpu windows was using changed immou group (I think). I tried to fix this by editing the windows 10 xml but after that my unraid server crached as I must have done something wrong. The problem was that the vm was set to autostart so that I had to manually reboot but then the vm started en the server crached again. I have now been able to start the server with the array stopped and then disabled vm-manager to be able to start the array again.

 

I read some forum posts that it should be able to start the array without the vms autostarting but I tried that several times and also tried renaming the vdisk image but nothing worked. After multiple hard-resets the usb got corrupted and now I have been able to start up again with a backup. Array is started and VM manager is disabled. How do I edit the xml for the vm without vm-manager running ?

Yeah, that was true before v6.9, now with v6.9 they start anyway, which is IMHO a very bad idea.

You could downgrade temporarily to v6.8 to disable that VM from auto starting.

ok, is there no other way. I also read in a post that it should be possible to rename the the vdisk image. But I think I tried that to, without success or maybe it worked and the usb was corrupted.

I just tried renaming both the Windows 10 VM-folder and the vdisk image under domains and also deleting all other vms and then start VM-manager. Server crached.... again

update2: I pulled the stick and looked tried to open domains.cfg from a laptop and it said that the domains.cfg was corrupt. I tried repairing the drive from rightclicking in windows explorer and afterwards the domains.cfg had been removed

I also tried downloading 6.8 from https://s3.amazonaws.com/dnld.lime-technology.com/stable/unRAIDServer-6.8.0-x86_64.zip but I get "Failed - Forbidden" when rightclicking and trying to download. If I just click the link I just get some error-message.

You can get 6.8.3 directly from the DOWNLOAD page linked at the top of the forum

Can I just wipe the VMs in some way. Just deleting/renaming the folders/files under domains did not seem to work. What do I need to delete change to reset the VM-manager completly ?

  • Author

I tried removing everything from domains and iso folders and started vm-manager again. After 30 seconds all cpu cores are at 100% then unraid crashes and are unresponsible

Ok, my server has been running fine for over a year with the same hardware and now it only craches when I enable VM manager. Can it still be caused by the bug you mentioned?

  • Author

I disabled c-state control and the powerstate Idle settings as in the faq. 1 min after starting the VM manager all cpu-cores gets stuck at 100% then the server craches again.

  • Author

ahhh, finaly. I opened vm-manager settings and deleted/re-downloaded the "file" and now I get the vm tab to work again.
