VM Memory & DVD Drive Passthrough Problem?

Featured Replies

Hello everyone!  This is my first post and I'm not the most tech savvy person so I apologize if I left something out here.  :)

 

Recently, a friend of mine helped me build a personal server that uses unRAID 6.0 as its prime OS.  We built it with the intention that it would do two jobs…one, run movies, music and etc as a multimedia server and two…run VMs so I could play games that are Windows based.  I'm happy to say that it performs great as a multimedia server but I'm struggling to get the VMs to operate.  I have two issues with VM operations:

 

First, my only VM thus far is Windows 7 Home Premium.  When this VM was originally set up, for what ever reason, it was only given on hard drive with 60 GBs of space.  I have already burned through that and now need more…not surprisingly.  So, I went into the VM manager on the Web GUI and changed the hard drive allotment for this VM from 60 GBs to 1,000 GBs and that is what it now shows in the Web GUI.  Note, This hard drive allotment is coming from my Cache drive which has over 2 TBs free so it should support this assignment.  Despite this, when I run this VM, in Windows it still shows that it only has 60 GBs of hard drive space.  Have any of you had this issue? 

 

Secondly, in order to run my games I need to somehow pass through my DVD drive on my server to the Windows VM.  Has anyone done this?

 

Thanks for all of your help!

Have you tried going into Windows Disk Management and resizing the partition?
