ezhik Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 (edited) TL;DR: Use proper CPU pinning to avoid issues with VMs. For example: if you have 4 cores + HT. 0 + 4 1 + 5 2 + 6 3 + 7 And have an *even* number assigned. *** RESOLVED ** Looks like I have an issue with starting up VMs... The VM starts to boot, then two out of the three assigned cores are pinned at 100% and a few minutes later the VM crashes... Not much from the logs either... Host OS: unRAID 6.3.5 Host HW: Intel Xeon E3-1270v2 32GB DDR3 ECC RAM Fujitsu D2607-8i (Flashed to 9211-8i) 8x4TB Hitachi Ultrastars 2 x 1TB Crucial M500 SSDs (VMs run on the SSDs) VM - Windows 10 Cheers.

1812 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 what guide did you follow creating the vm? Quote Link to comment
ezhik Posted June 29, 2017 Author Share Posted June 29, 2017 Confirmed, the issue is with Hyper-V Features. Once disabled, system boots no problem. No guide. I just went in, selected windows 10 template, populated there rest and installed. Quote Link to comment

ezhik Posted June 30, 2017 Author Share Posted June 30, 2017 The first guide is a very basic setup. The second guide is more advanced. My VM provisioning process covered the tutorials. Thank you for sharing regardless. Quote Link to comment

No doubt, I genuinely appreciate you taking the time to try to helping out. Pardon me if I sounded arrogant. I have worked with many virtualization platforms. So the basic troubleshooting was done.
