November 10, 20241 yr Hi guys, I recently setup my unraid server with new hardware and GPU to use the VM functionality for gaming. Everything is working fine including passing through the GPU with vBIOS which I was able to edit after saving. I passed through Wifi, Bluetooth and an NVME drive including all 1660 Super Nvidia components from VFIO IMMUO group. The problem is shutdown of the my VM crashes my Unraid, the only way I can bring back the GUI is by performing a GUI restart from command line using the command below. /etc/rc.d/rc.php-fpm restart So when thats done, I can access the GUI but clicking on the VM tab hangs the Unraid GUI again. I am not sure how to troubleshoot this issue but I am hoping I can get some help because other than this issue, everything else is working fine. I downloaded my diagnostics and attached it to this post. Thanks. montanalab-diagnostics-20241110-2253.zip
November 11, 20241 yr Author Solution Thought I would come back on here to provide an update, I reverted everything on my VM to basic. Meaning I removed the GPU assigned and all USB and other attachments, back to a basic VNC VM. Also removed VFIO mapping of my GPU and rebooted. VM shutdown was still crashing Unraid. Then I upgraded to v7.0.4 beta, basically YOLO because I am not sure why this issue was so persistent. Confirmed things are working well in v7.0.4, noticed things look different in unraid going from v6 to v7. Especially in the VM Space. Started with the basic setup; Guess what? booted and shut down very fast. Slowly enabled all my devices and everything is working perfectly now. Also, my GPU is working without vBIOS dump and I prefer it this way too. Magically, things are back to previous config on new OS v7. The only difference is adding the following line in my VM, wondering if this breaks things because it did fix my bluetooth not starting issue. Scared to try it in case it ruins everything again... 😁
November 13, 20241 yr Author Hi all, I think I found the culprit or I suspect it to be the case for my setup. if I enable the wifi in vfio and attach it to the vm in config, the vm basically has a bad time. It’s like it doesn’t know what to do with 2 network services, I remove revert this change and things work perfectly. This is a guess but an observation for anyone else that is stuck.
