Guys,

 

I'm stuck, after an unRaid reboot and start array I can see my Windows 8.1 (labeled windows 10) KVM, I can start it, but it appears not to find the vdisk and goes to bios. The disks show up in the share and my lubuntu VM on the same cache drive has no problem. Any clue how to fix or troubleshoot this further?

 

root@Oxnet:/mnt/cache/vstorage# ls lubuntu/* -l
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5127077888 Jan 13 23:06 lubuntu/vdisk1.qcow2*
root@Oxnet:/mnt/cache/vstorage# ls windows10gamer/* -l
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13852541440 Jan 13 01:32 windows10gamer/vdisk1.qcow2*

 

Startup VM log:

When I log into my lubuntu VM and run virt-manager, I see the vdisk location as correct, but no snapshots are listed. I am seeing no errors anywhere, is there more logging I can get somewhere?

When you get to the command prompt type exit and hit enter. Then you go to the third option, which should be boot setup or something similar. Then choose EFI misc and it should boot hopefully 

saarg,

 

Thanks so much worked like a charm!
