HA on EISY, "Failed to setup" error on reboot

[KSaccullo01]

When I reboot EISY HA does not see EISY. A "Failed to setup" error is thrown. Selecting reload fixes the problem, until the next reboot.

The fix for me was to start VA from cron.

/etc/rc.conf -- comment out vm_list="homeassistant"

vm_enable="YES"
vm_dir="zfs:HAIO"
# vm_list="homeassistant"

crontab. -- start the homeassistant vm 3 minutes after a reboot

@reboot sleep 180 && vm start homeassistant

 

I tried adding a delay vm delay in /etc/rc.conf. Did not work.

vm_delay="300"

hopes this helps someone else with the same problem

@KSaccullo01I tried this fix but I'm unable to get it to work. Does it have to go somewhere special in the file?

Did you hand edit crontab? it look like you are in the system crontab.

to edit correctly enter: sudo crontab -e

it will bring up the vi editor so you may want to familiarize yourself with vi first.

The file will be be stored in /var/cron/tabs

As a side note. I completely deleted the admin account and all traces of it. I created a new account that uses the root folder. Eliminated the need to enter sudo for my new account and activated the root account. When I created the original cron file I did so directly as root. It should not matter. Try sudo -s then crontab -e.

Yes I did edit it directly I guess that's why it did not work. I have it setup that after HA loads it restarts the ISY integration so I don't have to worry about it anymore but thanks for the info.

Try:

sudo -s (enter password if prompted)

crontab -e

once saved new cron file should  be in /var/cron/tabs/
