stottle Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 BTW, it is basic relative to your UI, but I've been using the following python script to start the VM and configure what I want passed through. I uses the attached xml as the basis. I'm curious what effects the differences between your autogenerated xml and the attached have. run.txt should be run.py but I don't think .py is allowed for upload. dvd.txt should be dvd.xml. I can use these pass other devices, like my usb3 pci card, or the DVD optical drive, to the VM. I think I need to continue using my script for now, until adding additional pass-through devices is supported. run.txt dvd.txt Link to comment
jonp Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 What GPU are you using? NVIDIA GT 730 I haven't been using the hyper-v extensions and using current drivers. Ok, here's what I would suggest. Try to see if you can get video on your monitor creating an OVMF virtual machine (you don't even need to specify a vdisk or install media, just create and see if the monitor lights up). If so, this may solve a lot of your reset issues. The problem with VGA pass through is that it requires a lot of workarounds and even then, quirks like what you are experiencing can happen with certain hardware. With UEFI, the hackery goes away and it is natively supported. Another thing to ask is whether or not you are using the PCIe ACS override. If so, that could also cause issues with multiple device assignments depending on your hardware. This is why we don't have ubiquitous support for PCI device assignment in the webgui itself yet (graphics / sound only for now). Link to comment

You cannot convert an existing VM to OVMF and I need to write up a formal guide on it, but to give it a go, turn on advanced mode in the vm creation page and select OVMF from the BIOS drop down.

.secret_squirrel Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Update appears to have gone well, but after a reboot the array was stopped and I have a message of "Too many assigned devices or too many attachd devices. Please consider upgrading your registration key." This machine is not licensed (trial only), and my configuration is 1 parity drive, 2 data drives, and another drive mounted outside of unraid. Would this be expected moving from 14b to 15b? I realize I am long overdue to purchase a license for this rig... Link to comment

You can hot plug devices manually after array start, but after a reboot you will need to detach them before you can start the array again. Alternately you could purchase a Basic key which does not have this restriction. Link to comment
craigr Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I have encountered a problem with Beta15. I have installed 6b15 only on my test bed server only at this point. When playing any BluRay iso on my NTV550 media player using SMB, the playback will stall and I also get audio dropouts. All of this will occur within a minute of two of beginning playback. Reverting back to 6b14b, the problem disappears. The problem appears on both of my NTV550s. I have rebooted the network switch in case that might be a factor. I see nothing in the log to indicate any problem. (I am attaching the log in any case.) There are no transmission errors shown on the Dashboard. Because I am using flash card reader (with a good GUID), I can quickly switch between versions so I have tested both versions several times to verify that the problem only exits in 6b15. What SAS card do you have if you are using one? I have had this issue with my IBM 1015 crossflashed cards... or at least I think it's the cards as I am not certain yet. craigr Link to comment
bonienl Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I have the situation that disk is up, but no temperature displayed. hdparm -C /dev/sdb /dev/sdb: drive state is: active/idle Edit Temperature appears after timer "poll_attributes" expires (in my case set to 5 minutes) Link to comment

Tried an OVMF system. It worked to the extent that it was pushing UEFI stuff to the screen, but it didn't like something and dropped me into a UEFI shell. No idea what to do there. I tried the reset command, which basically stopped anything from going to the monitor. On the plus side, I could stop the array and restart.... Link to comment

The only thing that matters was that the monitor lit up. If your GPU didn't have UEFI support, it wouldn't have lit up at all. I'm working on a guide for OVMF, but here's the quick skinny: 1) When you get to the efi shell, type the following commands: fs0: cd efi/boot bootx64.efi This will get you to the installer for your OS. 2) After the installer is done and you reboot, if it takes you to the shell again, type the same commands, but start with fs1: instead of fs0: Let me know if this gets you going or not.

pras1011 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I am still running plain basic 5.0.6. Is it safe to jump straight into this one? Link to comment
Squid Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I am still running plain basic 5.0.6. Is it safe to jump straight into this one? You shouldn't have an issue as long as you remove all your plugins and packages prior to upgrading. (Pretty much none of them are compatible with v6 ) See this wiki here: http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/Upgrading_to_UnRAID_v6 Link to comment
garycase Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 ... Is it safe to jump straight into this one? Beta 15 is certainly VERY close to the RC releases and subsequent stable release ... BUT there were a LOT of changes with this version. For the most part I agree with Squid ... you should be fine. HOWEVER ... given the fairly frequent need for "a" and/or "b" releases within a week of many of the Beta releases, I'd wait a week or so to confirm there are no hidden "gotchas" before making the move if you're putting this on your main server and not a test box. I always upgrade instantly on my test box ... but NEVER on my main servers (none of which are yet on v6). Link to comment
Hoopster Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Hi, I encountered a minor Docker tab GUI issue while updating a Docker container. When pulling a fs layer, [in the attached jpg] the stats showed an impressive percentage in the downloading information. The container downladed fine in the end, but thought it worth the mention for you to be aware of. FoldingAtHome was the first docker I had updated after updating unRAID to beta 15 (from 14b). My other dockers did not have this percentage display problem during their updates. cheers, gwl I got the same thing when installing the Tonido docker. No problems with 14b but with 15 I saw some really interesting download percentages. It appears to have downloaded and installed without issue other than the whacked out percentages Everything else in beta 15 looks solid so far. Link to comment

Docker got updated to 1.5, so something must have changed. I will investigate this. Link to comment
