SimpleDino Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 (edited) Hi! Just want to say that I've done this many times and created several VMS of the original VMs (copy or cloned) without issues before. Steps done to Clone/copy VM: 1. Copy Full folder containing VM from domains 2. Paste in a new folder with new name in domains. 3. Start new Custom VM, copy and paste the XML from original VM 3.1 Give it a new name, delete uuid (new will be generated) 3.2 Delete previous source file and point to the new one (the new folder with copied VM in it) 4. Edit helper script and replace the name of vm with the new and run the script. 5. Voila! as I said, this method has worked until now. But now after updating to the latest UnRaid OS, I am getting this error when trying create & fire up a NEW VM. Any clues how to fix the image file or some other related issue?

Solution SimpleDino Posted November 16, 2022 Author Solution Share Posted November 16, 2022 Solved! My bad, I've pointed the source file to opencore image instead of MacOS disk image in the same folder! Great when you discover your own mistakes...but you learn from them I guess!
