comet424 Posted April 16, 2021 Author Share Posted April 16, 2021 oh ok is there a way to hibernate VMs when your click Unraid reboot or hit the STOP button under VMS as the stop button hardly ever works to shut down windows you can wait till hell freezes over lol but is there an option to do it or you do u need to do it individually Quote Link to comment
comet424 Posted April 16, 2021 Author Share Posted April 16, 2021 oh would you happen to know how to up the speed of dockers page.. my Dockers appdata page is on my NVME 3500/3000 but i find when you click dockers page its so slowwwww its like waiting for a drive to spin up.. but once its running its faster like u can goto the page... but shouldnt it be faster... and is there a way to tweak it faster? i not 100% sure Quote Link to comment

comet424 Posted April 16, 2021 Author Share Posted April 16, 2021 ah ok so you need these kvm guest drivers for windows vms or all vms and is that just to be able to put the computer in hibernate mode? Quote Link to comment

comet424 Posted April 16, 2021 Author Share Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) guess the shut down is back so i changed the settings to hibernate VMs did it shut down like before 30 seconds ? or is it because i didnt install that kvm guest and ya i didnt notice the Advandced tab before.. nore for Docker just learned it.. and have had this server running since 2018 lol first time learn something new every day tower-diagnostics-20210416-1245.zip unbalance.log Edited April 16, 2021 by comet424 Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Apr 16 12:44:44 Tower root: Waiting on VMs to shutdown............................................................ Apr 16 12:44:44 Tower root: The following VMs are still running, forcing shutdown: webserver,Windows Server 2016 Quote Link to comment
comet424 Posted April 16, 2021 Author Share Posted April 16, 2021 now is that because i set it to Hibernate mode? and didnt install ths KVM guest? did it again shut down at the 30 second mark like the other guy said ? as i set it to 150 seconds.. i guess its still that bug in the new unraid i take it Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Without the KVM guest hibernate won't work, you should also test before rebooting, i.e., stop the array and time how long it takes for the VMs to shutdown and the array to stop. Quote Link to comment
comet424 Posted April 16, 2021 Author Share Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) ok so from the diagnostic file how long did it take it time out again? 30 seconds? is this the link for kvm? WindowsGuestDrivers - KVM (linux-kvm.org) and it took roughly 1m 23seconds shut down 4 vms aparently you cant post the link here its blocked Edited April 16, 2021 by comet424 Quote Link to comment
comet424 Posted April 16, 2021 Author Share Posted April 16, 2021 guess i cant fix this unsafe shutdown so i timed it to 1min 23 seconds i set Disk Settings to 420 seconds i set VM Manager to 300 seconds and it takes over 1000 seconds for Gui to come back online.. i guess thats that bug ? and wasnt able to download the KVM guest yet it wouldnt download dunno why Quote Link to comment
comet424 Posted April 16, 2021 Author Share Posted April 16, 2021 i also cant figure how to install this kvm guest program all i see is drivers on the website but i need the program to install or so and maybe its a work around for VM backup and these unclean shut downs i kvm into windows went to virto drive i guess guest-agent is the KVM Guest?? i ran the 64 bit and it crashed out the mouse so that didnt work so well lol ugh Quote Link to comment
comet424 Posted April 16, 2021 Author Share Posted April 16, 2021 i googled.. i guess it cant be done.. Windows 2016 Server isnt supported by unraid i did Manual/VM Guest Support - Unraid | Docs its incompatible so i guess i just have to wait for a Unraid Bug Fix since i cant hibernate it.. cant VM Backup it.. cant shut it down etc normally not without a Force Stop Quote Link to comment

JorgeB Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 19 hours ago, comet424 said: ok the 150 seconds fixed it.. it didnt take a new log file Also mote that I misread the previous diags when I said Unraid was forcing the shutdown before the set timer, it wasn't, hence why changing the timeout from 100 to 150 solved the issue, it just needed more time. Quote Link to comment
comet424 Posted April 18, 2021 Author Share Posted April 18, 2021 so as for the timeout i guess it just does after 30 seconds.. it didnt matter how high i made it i even set it to 1000 seconds i guessing it still shuts down after 30 seconds reason i said its not supported i guess for Windows Sever 2016.. is the Unraid Docs states 2016 is untested and since KVM isnt working after i run the 64 bit and tried the 32 bit in guest-agent folder it did nothing.. i tried a reboot and tried to use the Hibernate button but windows didnt close down to sleep or nothing reason i figured it doesnt work since the unraid docs also said its not tested to be working.. and like i mentioned you cant post links in here it erased the link .. which sucked Quote Link to comment

Are you using the option on the edit toolbar to insert a link or are you doing something different? Quote Link to comment
comet424 Posted April 18, 2021 Author Share Posted April 18, 2021 you can see in my 2 posts above WindowsGuestDrivers - KVM (linux-kvm.org) Manual/VM Guest Support - Unraid | Docs i posted that these were the links and i stated the forum erased the links in the next post.. i copy and paste the link and the unraid form replaced the link with those.. so i could not send the link and no what i do is i copy the link and hit ctrl V to paste the link.. i take it i gotta do something special?

comet424 Posted April 18, 2021 Author Share Posted April 18, 2021 i see there is a link button never used it before.. i guess u need to paste the link in that then like the code thing Quote Link to comment
comet424 Posted April 18, 2021 Author Share Posted April 18, 2021 https://wiki.unraid.net/Manual/VM_Guest_Support so ok thats the link i tried to follow the instructions it says server 2016 is untested and i cant get Enable Hibernation in Windows its not 1 of the options in windows is basiclly what i was trying to say above because VMBackup and i guess the rebooting unraid will not shut down Windows Server nore can i get it in hibernation Quote Link to comment
