March 24, 20251 yr Hey guys i tried to install my first VM on unraid. it looks like the VM was started sucessfully, but when i try to connect to the Machine i get the following error: Quote No IP, guest agent not installed i searched the forum but didnt found the solution that i was looking for so far. could someone give me a hint what i'm missing? Thanks a lot for your help and patience.
March 24, 20251 yr That's not required to connect to the VM, but you can install the guest tools for Windows VMs from the Virtio driver ISO:
March 24, 20251 yr Author do i have to install this on my local machine or on the VM? how do i use this tool?
March 24, 20251 yr Author sorry for the noob question, but how do i install it if i cant access the VM? i need a little more guidance.
March 25, 20251 yr Author For me it looks like this if i try to connect to the VM: Then i get this error message:
March 25, 20251 yr You either changed the default VM settings or the actual VM options when creating it, go to Settings - VM Manager and make sure "Console Option" is set to Web Interface, and create a new VM with the default settings just for testing, you should see the VNC option.
March 28, 20251 yr Author Thanks for your tips. Its strange, because when i created a new Linux based system i can see bot, VNC and also RDP, when i deleted the Windows 10 VM and created a new one from scratch, i still only see RDP?! As soon as i choose my Graphics Card in the configuration, the VNC option disapears. When i leave Graphics Card on Virtual, then i see the VNC option, otherwise not.
March 28, 20251 yr When you have a graphics card passed through, you should not need VNC, just use its output, you can then configure RDP for example, if you need remote access.
April 17, 20251 yr Author Sorry for the long delay. What do you mean with "just use its output"? î have no phisical access to the server etc. what i could probably do is to create it with no video card, access it with VNC, then install rdp, switch to setup with graphic card, and then use RDP to connect. would this be working?
