New openmediavault-kvm plugin

Hi crashtest - and the last line of that article is "Your virtual machine can now boot from the physical drive associated with the VMDK file." - I don't want to change the boot drive - I just want to access a physical hard disk for data storage .. that seems to be impossible ..

You can edit the XML in the plugin but you are correct that passing thru a pci-e device is not in the plugin.

that, i wouldn't say, even though there is a menu for it. It's just not usable. Cursor focus, scrolling, editing, saving. It's not usable

Hello, I need to increase the size of a virtual machine's disk partition. It is possible?

Zitat von Humbert

yes, you need to put a STATIC IP in the OMV interface (and mask and gateway etc)

if you already have an IP reservation in the router, then it needs to be the same IP, otherwise the OMV machine will request an IP but the router reserved another IP so they might not understand each other

alternatively, you can delete the IP reservation from the router, but in my experience it is better to leave it also there so that the router does not assign it to some other device when OMV is shutdown or disconnected.

this is how I have it in OMV - 192.168.1.14 is the IP of the OMV machine and it is also reserved in the router

PS don't forget to also put DNS 8.8.8.8 in the OMV bridge; this is not required for the VM, but it avoids some issues on the OMV side in general (i.e. radarr/sonarr sometimes do not work without this)

i followed your instructions but the vm is not assigned any ip, what can i check?

I am looking for a step by step guide to create & manage win10 with KVMPlugin.

KVM does not see the target drive. (same problem in cockpit)

I do not have a step by step guide but I can tell you that you just need to mount the virt iso and get the drivers from there. On omv5 the is a button in the plugin where you can download the iso to the selected pool. Then you just have to add it to your windows VM as an optical drive. Then you can click the treiber lades button in your installation. Then browse to the optical drive and let it find the driver.

thx

virtio-win is mounted but does not find the drivers automatically.

Which driver from the virtio.iso should you choose?

I believe it is the folder is called iostore. Down in the bottom. You maybe have to go choose w10 folder and amd64. Something like that. I am sorry for my not so precise answer. I am answering out from my memory ☺️.

I had a look through: https://github.com/OpenMediaVa…/tree/master/debian/dists

And couldn't see openmediavault-kvm for shaitan(-testing|-beta) yet. Wondering if this plugin is coming to OMV 6.x?

Thinking of ditching virt host and go for a clean OMV setup (no other web GUIs) and host k3os on that and separate the concerns nicely.

Thank you for all the work on this plugin!

i want to connect my VM(dhcp client) to the same network as my host is configured.

if i choose the bridged connection, i can connect to the internet but can not ping the host.

do i need another bridge as described in this link?

I am new to KVM and OMV and I am a bit at loss with the terminology and order of operations.

can someone please help me with the steps of creating one? this is what I did:

i created on the raid two dirs, install_images and VMs

I created two pools, mapped to these directories

I used the "download" button while selecting the install images and put in https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org…tandard-3.15.0-x86_64.iso - this worked well and the image was loaded

I created a volume, 16GB in size, in the VMs direcotry

went back to the VMs tab, added a new vm but it would not start. nothing happens when i press the state->start

this is the resulting xml:

Thank you! I was so close, just missing the network.

Two improvements that can be done...

1. A link to this guide in the firs message in the thread. I am sure it is mentioned somewhere but its 27 pages now.

2. Perhaps an error message is something like network does not exists.

Anyways, I am very happy, Thank you again
