libvirt.img is not created (at least to my knowledge).  the docker image is made upon installation, allowing docker to work.  kvm does not work because the image it requires seems not to exist anywhere in unraids file system.  I have read forum after forum of people pointing the visualizer to a folder rather than an image, but that isn't my problem as there is nothing called "libvirt.img" anywhere in the os's file system; I really do wish that was my issue as it is such a simple and easy fix.  I am a newbie and would love to use unraid for some of my companies computational servers for a multitude of conveniences it offers that ESXi doesn't, but I can't if vm's aren't possible to run.  Any help would be greatly appreciated, even if it is just posting a link to download that image file.  Since I could just not know what I am looking for, I have posted diagnostics.

You misunderstand. The libvirt.img file is created when you fill in the path with the image file name included, and specify the size you want, default is 1GB (I think)

In advanced view, make sure that your path has the file name at the end, like this /mnt/user/system/libvirt/libvirt.img

The libvirt.img File is normally auto-created when you enable VM support under Settings->VM Manager if it does not already exist.   It is important that the setting for ‘libvirt storage location’ is valid and includes the filename as part of the path.    

 

Are you saying that the file specified there points to a valid location and the VM service is enabled?    If the file does not appear to exist on your system Have you tried disabling/enabling the VM service to try and force another attempt at creating it?   If not I would suggest trying that and then providing the diagnostics covering that attempt.

There are some things about your configuration that are not recommended. None of them seem like they should be the cause of this specific issue though.

• You have an SSD in the parity array.
• You have a cache disk, but the usual "system" shares, (system, domains, appdata) are configured to not use cache.

Also, you haven't completed a parity sync,
