Couple of Beta9 questions

[stottle]

It isn't clear to me what the current status is for the following in terms of passthru (Win7 VM)

1) Is it necessary to manually reset the passed GPU when the vm is restarted?  If so, how?

2) What is the recommended way to start a VM when unRAID starts?

 

Thanks in advance

Hi Stottle,

 

I manually disable my GPU when shutting down/rebooting windows or whatever. I do this via an logoff/logon script that launches a gpu-eject and injecct command via devmanview on the VM.

You can check out the howto here; http://blog.ktz.me/?p=219 - go to the Getting rebooting to work-section.

Follow the guide, it seems the link to the rebootscript is down, so you can snatch them here;

To comment on your 2nd question, I dont think there's any particular recommended way of doing this, autostarting them vs manually initiating them should not matter. I'm still on XEN, but considering the similarites it should not really matter. I just start mine manually from bash, never got any issues this way.
