tibbar Posted May 20 Posted May 20 Hello. After multiple attempts I still can not get HA to run on NVMe. If I try to start HA I get an error saying: ! guest appears to be running already. IF I try to stop it I get : /usr/local/sbin/vm: WARNING: unable to locate process id for homeassistant Can someone please help.

apnar Posted May 20 Posted May 20 (edited) @tibbar you seem to be stuck in an odd state, I wonder if there is an old attempt still running in the background. I'd try starting clean, rebooting, and trying again. This should get you a close to clean state, run each individually: sudo vm poweroff -f homeassistant sudo vm destroy -f homeassistant sudo vm switch destroy public sudo zfs destroy storage/vms sudo shutdown -r now FYI, the script starts the VM. So just give it some time after running the script then try your access. Edited May 20 by apnar

No matter what I could not "destroy" homeassistant until I did: bhyvectl --vm=homeassistant --destroy

tibbar Posted May 20 Author Posted May 20 In all my previous attempts I had same thing happened. Initially right after running a script info homeassistant showed it running but after restarting it always says "stopped".
apnar Posted May 20 Posted May 20 Ok, please give the entire thing a go again (including another reboot) but capture the output of the script running, maybe there is something we can glean from that. When you say it was initially running, were you able to log in to home assistant? and when you say "after restarting" do you mean it worked fine until you restarted your eisy?

I was not able to log in to HA. "Running" was stated by "info homeassistant" command but it did not show any network info. After rebooting it shows "stopped" like the screen shot above.

tibbar Posted May 20 Author Posted May 20 [admin@eisy ~]$ sudo vm list Password: NAME DATASTORE LOADER CPU MEMORY VNC AUTO STATE homeassistant default uefi 2 2G 0.0.0.0:5900 Yes [1] Locked (eisy)
tibbar Posted May 20 Author Posted May 20 (edited) Remove a lock? Does it mean to delete run.lock file from /storage/vms/homeassistant/ directory? Edited May 20 by tibbar edit name of run.lock file
apnar Posted May 20 Posted May 20 Yeah, I'd suggest starting from scratch. FYI, "vm info" will never show an actual IP address for these VMs. You can get the IP either from your router or you can connect to the console/vnc and look it up that way.

Router (I,m using pfsense) does not list anything with MAC address of VM. How do you connect to vnc if you do not know IP address?

VNC server runs on the EISY itself, so you connect to the eisy IP on port 5900 with something like a RealVNC client. Think of it as a screen and keyboard connected to the VM as opposed to VNC running within the VM. Just be sure to answer yes to that question in my script since isn't enabled by default. 1
tibbar Posted May 20 Author Posted May 20 WE ARE UP AND RUNNING . Thanks @apnar for your script and your time.
