VM’s Keep Getting Paused or Suspended

Featured Replies

Hello Forum 

 

Have a quick question - I have a few VM’s running and they keep entering suspended or paused state - I have disabled all power saving option within Windows 10 itself (the VM) but I cant work out what’s causing the VM to do this. 

 

Is there any way I can keep them running ? 

 

Thanks

Usually that's an out of space problem on the filesystem containing the vdisks, you should post the diagnostics.

Where are the vdisks located? You're using /mnt/user path and the domains shares exists on both cache and disk1.

When I setup the VM i left the locations to default

Stop all VMs and the VM service, change Domains share to cache="prefer" and run the mover, then post new diags.

So when I did this I watched the sapce on the Cache disk when I invoked the mover and saw space used going up - So I assume the HDD have been moved to the cache disk now? 

attached are the diags 

Thank you

Yes, share only exists on cache now, if nothing else performance will be better, but there wasn't any lack of space issue, still see if it makes any difference.

@johnnie.black - Thank you for the help and advise! 

Worries me that VM's are on a cache and its one drive. Need to see what PCI-E slots are in the Dell server and look at a PCIE card that I can put 2 MVME drives on to allow some kinda redundancy. 

 

Either than or UNRAID support LOT - But I feel thats a long way off.

Many people simply make regular backups of the VM vdisk files to the array.
