Belcraig Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 (edited) HI All, Moved to unraid a while ago. have set it up and is Working well. Well enough that I moved my main gaming PC to a VM in unraid, including GPU pass though - again working well. I've setup a second VM and while I was physically installing another gpu, I also added a sandisk cruzer fit drive (fresh drive straight out of packet) to in the internal on board USB, as i thought i might be able to save some time by installing unraid on this drive with a licence and then just copying the files from the "old" trial drive across. idea in my head being turn off the server, unplug old drive, turn on the server, and unraid is now running as expected on the new drive but now licenced.... however, the first step in this has stumped me and the search terms I am using don't seem to be giving me the answers I'm after. Question: how can I see the drive in my VM? what easy step have I overlooked? I can see the drive in unraid (6.9.2). I've edited the VM so the drive is included in the USB devices. but after turning on the vm. the drive isn't appearing. So i cant even start the process. all the solutions i found talk about passing through the usb contoller... I can't pass the USB controller through as all the usb ports on the server seem to be placed under the same physical bus. - i think from reading around i need to look into editing the bios to alter this as i should have 4 buses according to info. Can someone please link me to a place where i tutorial where i can add the usb drive to the VM (not the bios thing) Edited July 4, 2021 by Belcraig Quote Link to comment
SimonF Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Is the new usb stick same make/model of other usb devices on system? Quote Link to comment
Belcraig Posted July 4, 2021 Author Share Posted July 4, 2021 the is only one other USB stick plugged in and that is a san disk Cruizer - but this has UNRAID on in. Quote Link to comment
SimonF Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 (edited) can you provide output of lsusb run from a command prompt. You could also try my USB_Manager plugin to see if that allows you to attach the 2nd USB. It is an alternative way to connect USB devices to VMs, you need to remove from the template.

SimonF Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 (edited) How many USB devices are you connecting to the VM. Default is to use USB Controller 2.0 in VM template, try changing to You only get 2-3 devices with the 2.0 controller and 14 with 3.0. If you hover over the virsh error, does it say some like Document 1 invalid? Unplugging and replugging USB device may fix issue. I need to look at the setup to initialise correctly I think.

Belcraig Posted July 4, 2021 Author Share Posted July 4, 2021 can't see the whole error _ possible bug i need to move the screen to the right, but moveing the mouse means there is no role over, so i dont need to move anymore? using keys to move the screen means hte mouse isn't over the error and so no role over and thus no need to move the screen to the right... however what i can read is in pic, ill try the USB change as i didn't realise the USB Setting in the VM...

Belcraig Posted July 5, 2021 Author Share Posted July 5, 2021 Thanks Simon, Sorry didn't get time to make last adjustments. I changed the USB Setting to 3.0 (qemu XHCI) but the VM then seemed to stall every couple of minutes for a few minutes with the VM showing 10 out of the 12 threads maxed out. However there was also a windows update applied at the same time. so I turned it back to 2.0 and everything worked as it was before so I assumed it wasn't the update causing it to stall. I just tried the 3.0 nec XHCI version out of curiosity and forgot to assign the usb in the settings. However i added it via the usb manager and it attached and seams to be working fine. So I figure the problem was I have too Many USB Attached, and changing to 3.0 solved it. For anyone who might be having a Similar problem, thanks for your help. 1 Quote Link to comment
