Not really what a VM does. Quote Link to comment

I'm afraid I don't understand what you wish to do. Could you briefly describe the hardware and layout for what you want? Quote Link to comment
bruybenj Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 i want to install windows 7 64 bit to unraid as a vm and i want to pxe boot to it Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 i want to install windows 7 64 bit to unraid as a vm and i want to pxe boot to it Why do you want to pxe boot? You do not have to passthough an entire hard drive in order to set up a VM, so I'm thinking that its rather pointless if the pxe server is hosted on unRaid. Quote Link to comment

This is an old post which also happens to come on top on Google Search results. I have an unRAID server and a diskless workstation. I want it to boot a VM image. In 2018, is there any way to do this with unRAID? Quote Link to comment
