Oldslugger Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 I stupidly assigned my network card which is used by Unraid to a VM which has autostart enabled and now I can't edit the VM to make changes because as soon as I start the array the VM starts and I lose the network card and can't make changes via the webUI. I tried to locate the VM xml but cannot find it I tried locating the libvirt autostart file without success. Looked in /etc/libvirt-/qemu/network/autostart Would appreciate some urgent help please.

You need to make any changes due to this mistake via the local keyboard / monitor. (Or boot with the GUI option, stop the VM and edit it with the local keyboard / monitor / mouse Edited May 6, 2017 by Squid 1 Quote Link to comment

phat_cow Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) I know this is an old post but i have the same issue except my vm is not a kvm image. My windows 10 is installed on an ssd and i passed the entire disk to my vm. How would i go about turning auto start off? My unraid freezes when ever vm is turned on.

grisly Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 (edited) Im stuck in a situation like this . My Win 10 VM is on Autostart and takes everthing with him and i know the problem but i cant make any changes . I booted without plugins and set VM to disabled . Thats ok but i cant make any changes even if my array is started and when i start VM again , autostart triggers . The described folder doesn´t exist on my system . I tried running krusader first and then start but no folder. I´m a little bit stuck and could need some help. ----------- Seems like i solved my problem bootet in Gui safe mode no plugins and could make the needed changes . Didnt tried that before .
