Virtual Machine Error / Help

[StarTrek133]

Hi Everyone,

I am new to TrueNas and Linux .. I am trying to create a windows 11 vm in Scale .. I followed all the steps I saw other people do on some Youtube videos and no matter what I do .. I keep getting the following error when I try to start it .. So not sure what I am doing wrong ..

Error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/middlewared/main.py", line 176, in call_method result = await self.middleware._call(message['method'], serviceobj, methodobj, params, app=self) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/middlewared/main.py", line 1293, in _call return await methodobj(*prepared_call.args) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/middlewared/schema.py", line 1272, in nf return await func(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/middlewared/schema.py", line 1140, in nf res = await f(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/middlewared/plugins/vm/vm_lifecycle.py", line 39, in start await self.middleware.run_in_thread(self._start, vm['name']) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/middlewared/main.py", line 1208, in run_in_thread return await self.run_in_executor(self.thread_pool_executor, method, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/middlewared/main.py", line 1205, in run_in_executor return await loop.run_in_executor(pool, functools.partial(method, *args, **kwargs)) File "/usr/lib/python3.9/concurrent/futures/thread.py", line 52, in run result = self.fn(*self.args, **self.kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/middlewared/plugins/vm/vm_supervisor.py", line 62, in _start self.vms[vm_name].start(vm_data=self._vm_from_name(vm_name)) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/middlewared/plugins/vm/supervisor/supervisor_base.py", line 138, in start raise CallError( middlewared.service_exception.CallError: [EFAULT] VM will not start as DISK Device: /dev/zvol/Virtual Machines/Win11/StarMedia-6lksui device(s) are not available.

Thoughts ?

VM will not start as DISK Device: /dev/zvol/Virtual Machines/Win11/StarMedia-6lksui device(s) are not available.

What are the circumstances behind trying to use this path? If you didn't figure out how to set up SMB, how did you get a VM image onto the machine?

This seems like a pretty straight forward video. You tried installing the same iso with the same settings? If not, what iso did you try installing?

What is your hardware? (motherboard, drives, pool config, ram)

FWIW it does look like the Scale process is very similar.

I know the video is for Core .. but its very hard to find videos on Scale .. So as the process seemed the same I just followed it in the hopes it would work ..

The only thing I changed was in the video he uses the VirtIO settings and I left mine as the defaults .. I did try it both ways and still got the same error ..

here is the settings for the VM and the Pool .. I hope it helps ..

Was trying to Install windows 11 ..

Hope that helps ..

The only thing I changed was in the video

Try it without changing anything from the video (using VirtIO as he suggests and installing the same Ubuntu image he does).

You need a working base to start from. There might be additional requirements involved with the changes you made.
