kleinemeise Posted April 11, 2024 Posted April 11, 2024 Hello dear Unraid Community, I currently want to switch from Proxmox and Synolgy to Unraid. But currently I have the following problem: The VMs I created do not start or do not recognize the vdisks as hard drives: I first tested one imported from Proxmox via vma.py (https://forums.unraid.net/topic/120576-guide-import-vm-from-proxmox-backup-to-unraid/) Then I created another new VM using Debian ISO --> that worked too. The VM then ran without any problems. Until I briefly changed the “Primary vDisk Location” for testing. Now the new Debian VM doesn't start either. What am I doing wrong? Does anyone have a tip for me? I think I'm still missing something Quote
JorgeB Posted April 11, 2024 Posted April 11, 2024 Point to the existing vDisk in the "Primary vDisk location" Quote

kleinemeise Posted April 11, 2024 Author Posted April 11, 2024 with gparted i can start the vm and i can see my vdisk - but a boot is not possible: Quote
JorgeB Posted April 11, 2024 Posted April 11, 2024 XML looks OK to me, try typing exit in the UEFI shell, then select the boot menu option. Quote

JonathanM Posted April 11, 2024 Posted April 11, 2024 Try creating a new VM, but point the primary vdisk to the existing file. Quote
Tagtraum Posted April 11, 2024 Posted April 11, 2024 I stumbled upon the same problem today as well (although the timing is probably a coincidence), also while creating a debian VM. First occurence was when renaming the VM after succesfully installing and booting into debian. This moved the .img file to a different folder within the "domains" share, while at the same time changing the folder values in the VM config. Afterwards, same UEFI shell as in the first post. I played around a little bit, it seems as if the VM works as intended, until the vdisk file path in the config is changed. Even if it is changed back to the same value as it was originally. I also tried using /mnt/user or /mnt/cache paths. I currently have a working debian VM (because I never changed the file path after installation), however, if I create a second VM pointing to the same vdisk file, it again shows the UEFI shell on boot. Quote
kleinemeise Posted April 12, 2024 Author Posted April 12, 2024 Another example: I create a new VM and cleanly install Debian. I save the path to the image. Then I create a new VM and manually set the path to the image before. The VM doesn't start afterwards - same error Quote
Espressomatic Posted July 10, 2024 Posted July 10, 2024 (edited) Running 7.0.0-beta.1 here - going to post into the bug forum. Not sure when this first came up, but IMO, it's critical. On 4/11/2024 at 10:30 AM, JonathanM said: Try creating a new VM, but point the primary vdisk to the existing file. Summary: This is precisely what doesn't work - you can take a working OVMF VM's vdisk file, recreate the VM with the same settings, without install media, point it to the vidsk, and it'll no longer work. Details I have the same problem when trying to use a pre-existing qcow2 file, such as the pre-installed Fedora Server qcow2 file from their site. I can exit to the bootloader, make changes, save, and continue, but still get dumped back to the UEFI shell. The boot disk is already selected as the first boot option. It doesn't matter how I select the existing qcow2 file, I can never get it to boot so long as OVMF bios is selected. When selecting SeaBIOS, it boots right up. If I use ISO install media when creating the VM, there are no problems using OVMF and the iso boots fine with boot priority 2. When done installing, the resulting qcow2 file I created while setting up (boot priority 1), boots without issue. Likewise to reports above, if I remove the VM (but keep the qcow), and then create the VM again with the same settings, manually specifying that same qcow file, without install media, it will no longer boot. Here's the XML from two VMs. One still working, and the other I just broke with the steps above. Working one is Fedora, broken one is Debian. XML looks pretty much identical other than ids and "disconnected" on the non-working for guest agent connection.
