windows vms continually hang after upgrade to unraid 7.0

Featured Replies

So basically as the titles says, since I upgraded to 7.0 my windows vms now are unusable, I get roughly 30 seconds of use before I get a yellow/orange wheel (like the blue one that happens in windows normally by the mouse) and then the system hangs. The vms were working fine on 6.12, I have reinstalled the vms since the update and tried to troubleshoot, no cores are pegged (cpu shows very little cpu usage) or anything like that, ive tried more cores, more ram, ssd looks fine etc but I'm unable to solve the problem.

 

The server is a 14600k, 32gb ddr5, the vms are on there own ssd a wd black sn770 2tb. not sure what other info you guys need

 

kind regards

Small bump (unsure if that’s allowed)

Post a screenshot of that and the diagnostics after it happens.

Data as requested, checked the logs, apparently the vm is tainted? unsure what that's referring to?.

 

Thanks

Try creating a new VM on the other pool and retest.

Ive done as suggested and for a moment I genuinely thought it was fixed, it is not unfortunately.

However, it’s more usable than how it was on the old drive and can go quite a lot further without hanging. It is still relatively unusable and unreliable though and seems to hang 75% percent of the time in one way or another.

 

Is there anything else i can do without going back to 6.12?(not that 7.0 should affect my vms right?) Do you have any idea what the “vm is tainted“ means?

 

thanks

It shouldn't, but you can try downgrading and retest.

You can ignore that.

I'm actually going to try the new update 7.0.1 since it does contain some vm fix's etc even thought they don't seem to be directly related to my issue, failing that I'll have to either downgrade as you say or live with it. Its annoying that i like the improvements/fix's of 7.0 😂

Updated to 7.0.1, still running into the same issue is there really no other option other than to roll back like it has to be something stupid surely?
