Hi, i am new to unRAID and linux for that matter.

 

I want to install a windows vm on the array but cannot do so because:

 

1. In VM Manager the Libvirt storage location, Default VM storage path and the Default ISO storage path do not exist.

i have tried making them in the terminal but while i can create them they do not come out as /mnt/user/domains, instead they come out as individual directories (which i am not able to list btw but can cd to them.) I had to do it individually so went "mkdir /mnt" said it already existed so went, "cd /mnt" then "mkdir /user" it created it but it is not in the /mnt folder. when i do "mkdir -p /user/domains" it said already exists but when I "ls" or "ls -a" they do not come up. This was after I "rm -r /user"

 

When trying to make a share (thought maybe it is done there instead of the Terminal) the shares i try to create do not get created, after i put in the names and settings and click done it blanks the entries and exactly nothing happens.

 

2. In VM's it says Libvirt service failed to start. 

I pressume that is because the location does not exist.

 

Might someone be willing to help me out?

Don't do anything else without further advice.  You shouldn't need to do anything at the command line and you're doing it wrong anyway. 

 

Go to Tools - Diagnostics and post the complete zip 

so that is a no?

Oops i believe i missed that part the first time i read it.

i realize that the version is by now out of date.

None of your disks are formatted, you need to let Unraid format all your disks the first time you start the array, option to do that is next to the start/stop array buttons, and in case it's not obvious if there's any data on the disks it will be deleted.

Oh, would have expected that to be included into the array creation process.. must be my windows head talking.

 

yes that is quite obvious.

Thanks.
