Just go to the Storage icon and then choose to create a new datastore.

Now we need to create a new datastore from the 100GB disk we also added to the VM. Go to that page, like and login (ignore any browser self-signed certificate warnings) Then reboot the vm and look for the IP address it displays.

Unraid setup tutorial install#

(this is a bad screenshot, you should see the 100GB disk too but I messed up here, choose the 16GB disk to install to though)

Now, set a password and install the system to the 16GB USB disk we created earlier. Then, power it on and look at the VNC console. If using 4 cores in your VM you won’t have to do this, but I thought worth noting that it is a requirement. ESXi needs to believe it has 2 physical cores available. If using 2 CPUs, ensure it has 2 cores and 1 thread each. Never edit this again in the Form View as it will undo the changes or even make it an invalid config. Then, we want to edit it again and then choose Form View to change to XML view (top right) and amend the text on the following items. Disk 2 - A SATA disk (qcow type) for the actual datastore we will use in ESXi.Disk 1 - An ESXi Install disk which is a qcow type (which is a thin provisioned) USB disk to install ESXi on.2 CPUs (minimum required, add more if you like).16384MB RAM (I think 8192MB is the ESXi minimum).And add a Linux machine.Īt a high level we want to do the following to start Make one if you don’t have it.Īppend pcie_acs_override =downstream initrd =/bzroot kvm_amd.nested = 1 So, go to the main page and click the Flash drive icon you have Unraid installed onĪmend the Syslinux configuration: section like so by adding kvm_amd.nested=1 (or kvm_intel.nested=1 if you have an Intel system) to the append section. If running on an Intel system, use kvm_intel.nested=1 instead and just swap what I say below. I run an AMD Unraid machine, so this is the setting for my machine. Unraid Bootup Parametersįirst of all, We need to add kvm_amd.nested=1 to bootup image params on our Unraid machine to enable nested virtualization (so we can run VMs inside our VMs). So, the mission is to not burden my little NUC with vCenter and its 12GB RAM requirement and instead offload that role to my Unraid server so the NUC can focus on other things. I know I could probably just use Proxmox etc etc etc, but I like ESXi and so that’s what i’m going for. I want to have vCenter available as it does a lot of things you really need like setup VM Templates so creating a new machine is easy. The Unraid server has 64GB RAM, but the NUC isn’t so lucky. The main reason I am doing this is because I have an Unraid box which hosts various fileshares, and a NUC. This isn’t likely an optimal setup, but, if you want something that works for testing it might get you through. So, i’ve brought everything I know together into one place. The same settings on a Q35 motherboard and OVMF BIOS failed to see SATA drives for example, so you really do seem to have to be specific here. The tutorial below seems to be a golden path of sorts, and is the motherboard and bios type that worked for me.

Unraid setup tutorial how to#

I tried to find a guide on how to do this (and not the reverse of running Unraid on ESXi which seem to be everywhere!) and there seems to be a little missing in each case. If you thought things weren’t ‘inceptiony’ enough already then enjoy that thought experiment! How to setup an ESXi install on Unraid Do it again, attach both ESXI ‘hosts’ to a vCenter cluster and try a vMotion. In case that is disappointing, just think that you would be using the Unraid OS to run that VM, then running VMWare Workstation in that VMs OS, installing ESXi as an OS on the VM, and then installing a VM in that OS. If you really do want to get something that works I would probably suggest just buying a copy of VMWare Workstation and running ESXi in that, which is supported and tested. Need a good vpn? PIA is one of the best - īig thanks to the linuxserver.UPDATE: While this works, i’ve since learned that it won’t actually join to a vCenter. Please, if you can and want to support the channel and donate or check my patreon page This means we can use an Nvidia GPU inside of any container.

Unraid setup tutorial drivers#

The video shows to easily install a modified Unraid version with Nvidia drivers compiled and the docker system modified to use an Nvidia container runtime. It shows how to install and setup the excellent plugin from LinuxServer.io. This is a tutorial showing how to use GPU transcoding in an Emby or Plex docker container on an Unraid server.
