VMs keep pausing - Please help

Featured Replies

My VM’s keep pausing, and when I try to resume them, I get this message: “internal error: unable to execute QEMU command 'cont': Resetting the Virtual Machine is required“

Can someone please help? Let me know if you need anything else.

VMs typically pause if the OS is set to sleep or the underlying storage is running out of space, start by posting the diagnostics after if happens.

Thank you for the reply. I've set the VM operating system (Windows 10 and 11) to not sleep. What is meant by underlying storage? I have my appdata, isos, and Virtual Machines folder installed to two 2TB SSDs in a BTRFS RAID 1 and only 302 GB of capacity is being used. I attached diagnostics.

Thank you for your help!

Where the vdisks are stored, but all looks good to me, does it happen with all 3 VMs?

It only happens to one that has my graphics card passed through. The single VM of Windows 10 that uses virtual graphics never has this problem and is up 24/7

Try uninstalling the Nvidia driver to see if it makes any difference, you shouldn't have that installed anyway if the GPU is being passed through.

Do you mean the nvidia driver installed in Unraid?

Allow me to throw a slight wrench into that......I have my old RTX 2080 Ti installed in unraid as the Plex transcoder (it was the best nvenc I had lying around at the time). I would need it for that. Is there a way to separate one card to not have drivers?

  • Author

I also have my RTX A6000 set as passthrough, so unraid doesn't even see it as a graphics card to have installed drivers. Only my 2080 Ti shows up as a GPU with drivers installed with the Nvidia driver addon. I attached some images.

OK, in that case it should be fine, lspci shows the Nvidia kernel modules loaded, but it's probably because of the other GPU:

10:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GA102GL [RTX A6000] [10de:2230] (rev a1)

Subsystem: NVIDIA Corporation Device [10de:1459]

Kernel driver in use: vfio-pci

Kernel modules: nouveau, nvidia_drm, nvidia

So you're saying everything "should" be fine?

Regarding the driver, yes, but not sure, it may still be worth trying without it to confirm.

Apparently I'm just dumb. I just remade the VM using Q35 instead of i440FX, and I've not had an issue since (at least VM-wise)
