Can't edit a virtual guest's memory settings (or anything)

[btenison]

After upgrading to TrueNAS-SCALE-23.10.1 (may have also been in a previous version as I don't use Virtualization that much) I can no longer edit things like memory allocation to the guest server. I tried renaming a machine, changing the memory sizes, etc. After saving I get the "VM updated successfully." alert at the top, but when I check the settings again, nothing has changed. Anyone experience this? Any thoughts?

I'm currently facing the same situation, can't change any of my VM settings.

I'm having the same issue since i upgraded too. I also have issues with the network configuration (LAGG stopped working and can't be configured again + interfaces changed name)

 

[morfeus02]

i tried rolling back to 23.10.0.1, network issue was fixed but VM issue was not.
I found a temporary fix though, i edited the values in the VM, then went to devices and edited a device (put a password on the Display device) and saved. This for whatever reason made persistent the changes in the VM.

I am experiencing this same issue. Cannot save any changes of the base settings despite getting the message saying the changes were made successfully.

Same issue here. To get around it I just remade the VM with my new preferred settings, copied the MAC address of the old NIC and reused the existing disk image.

I am having the same issue, just discovered it today after upgrading to 23.10.1 yesterday.

I created a bug report: https://ixsystems.atlassian.net/browse/NAS-125977

This bug has been fixed in versions 24.04 and 23.10.2 of SCALE, as mentioned here: https://ixsystems.atlassian.net/browse/NAS-125803. We just have to wait for this update to be released. Meanwhile, there's a temporary solution available through the shell here: https://ixsystems.atlassian.net/browse/NAS-125803?focusedCommentId=232654.

What's the status on this? Once I create a VM I can't edit it. I have to delete and create it from scratch. Running the latest stable version of TrueNAS Scale.

I sadly can't access Jira. Can you post the work-around here?

Code:

midclt call vm.query | jq
midclt call vm.update 1 '{"description": "new description" }'

Thank you that is really helpful, i've been able to adjust the RAM on my VMs.

Code:

midclt call vm.query | jq
midclt call vm.update 1 '{"description": "new description" }'

thanks, I changed my memory settings

midclt call vm.update 17 '{"memory": "5120" }'

Code:

midclt call vm.query | jq
midclt call vm.update 1 '{"description": "new description" }'

Did it and confirm, configuration got updated - visible on shell and GUI.

However, the change does NOT affect the virtual machine.

Anything I am missing here?

A reboot of the VM? RAM changes won't happen while the VM is running.

Of course, did it for guest and host.

I am new to TrueNAS, so I did not try recycle the Qemu service amnually. So far.

thanks, I changed my memory settings

midclt call vm.update 17 '{"memory": "5120" }'

After updating the configuration, any else actions to make sure the change takes effect?

Thanks

So with a new midclt call vm.query | jq, you see the updated RAM number on the correct VM? (maybe you got the ID mixed up somehow)

>> you see the updated

Correct, triple checked.

Wonder if there is any low-level service I should send a SIGTERM or something?
