I created a new Win7 VM via the b15 VM manager plugin, all that's passed through to it is a Sat TV tuner card. The machine itself works really well however pressing the shutdown button in VM manager doesn't do anything so the only way to shut it down is to vnc onto the machine and shut it down that way. However when I do this the machine starts to shut down and then the host itself seems to crash. I lose web and SSH access to the host, I can no longer access any shares, docker containers or my other VM.

 

The only thing that brings it back is to physically power off the host and turn it back on again.

 

This has happened the last two times I have shut this machine down.

 

Does anyone have any ideas as to why this might happen or if unraid saves crash logs anywhere?

Do you have the pci acs override setting on or off on the VM manager settings page?

 

Can you unassign the sat tuner and shutdown safely without it?  Need to figure out root cause.

pcie acs override is currently set to on.

 

I haven't had an opportunity to try a shutdown without the say tuner passed through yet.

Ok, first let's try removing the tuner from the XML and trying a shutdown of the VM.  Want to make sure that works.  If so, the next test is to turn OFF PCIe ACS Override and see if you can still pass it through.  If so, test a shutdown and report back.  If you can't, the next test would be to try adjusting your machine type in the VM editor to Q35 instead of i440 and see if that makes a difference.

 

Some PCI devices may not work properly with pass through.  There is a high degree of variance in how PCI devices are engineered, which can result in inconsistencies in experience from device to device.  All you can do really is try a few different settings to see.
