Hi Guys,

 

I am having no luck with this unRaid. Anyway my problem is VM pauses itself after a certain period of time. Don't know what to upload. So I am uploading Digonosis and please see VM logs and I pasted XML as well. Any help will be appreciated.

Make sure in Windows that all the hibernate, sleep and suspend stuff is turned off.

OK I will try that now. Thanks heaps.

I just tried to start the VM and seems like whole unRaid is frozen. So frustrating

 

OK I will try that now. Thanks heaps.

Well this time it paused after 5 mins so turning of Hibernation and other thing didn't help.

What are the specs of your server cpu & memory?

Here are all the details

 

Model: Custom

M/B: Supermicro - X9SCL/X9SCM

CPU: Intel® Core™ i3-3240 CPU @ 3.40GHz

HVM: Enabled

IOMMU: Disabled

Cache: 128 kB, 512 kB, 3072 kB

Memory: 32776 MB (max. installable capacity 64 GB)*

Just a thought, try only assigned one core to the VM and see if that helps.  My thinking is that the host (Unraid) will take precedence, so if it needs CPU resources, might be causing the VM to pause. 

Thanks I will try that.

I'm Having the same issue.

It started after adding a new drive

I've added another cache drive so the issue isn't no cache space.

I have reduced the memory, Dashboard says 74% memory usage when on.

I've attempted using 1 CPU core, No help there

I've removed gpu pass-through, Disabled Hyper-V.....

 

The last thing I am currently testing is copying the vm disk to a HDD and create a new vm with that disk, its taking a while as its pretty large (600GB)

If anyone has any other methods to try please let me know

I'm seeing this same issue.  It's recent, though.  I created this VM more than a month ago and it's been running flawlessly until yesterday, where this same "pausing itself" behavior reared its ugly head.  It seems like it might be CPU or Network load related as I can start up the VM and leave it idle with no issue and it'll pause after streaming video for a few minutes (streaming via Plex).  Here's my XML and log, if it'll help.

If anyone has heard of a solution for this one, I am all ears!

Was this issue ever resolved?  I am now experiencing this with my newly created VM

Was this issue ever resolved?  I am now experiencing this with my newly created VM

 

I found the root cause to this issue.  My cache drive was running out of space so the VM was being automatically paused by KVM.  For anyone that comes across this thread in the future, please check your cache drive for free space.

My VM is not on a chache drive and it pauses ran fine untill yesterday

Hi i'm haveing the same issue

Hi i'm haveing the same issue 

And have you checked the free space on the drive that is holding the vdisk?  IE: did you over provision the vdisk and it now won't fit on the drive?

My Windows 10 VM runs on a native SATA SSD mounted via Unassigned Devices and the VM also gets in state "paused" after some time.

 

Necropost.

 

Anyone else have anything to offer on this subject?  If I'm connected via RDC or VNC (Splashtop) then the Win10 VM works fine. If I close the connection, the system won't run headless - it'll suspend/sleep within 30 minutes.

 

I've got a long multi-day batch file conversion process running and needless to say, it's not going well because of this.

Make sure sleep/hibernate is disable in the VM.

All hibernate/sleep options are turned off, performance set to max, etc.  I believe the issue may be specific to a particular application.  I wrote a small batch script to output the time to the command prompt every 30 seconds and that never stops or misses a beat, indicating the VM isn't suspending.

 

So, doesn't seem related to this thread.
