Step 1. Login to SynetoOS GUI

https://<your_ip_address_or_hostname>

 

Step 2. From Storage menu, click on Volumes

 

Step 3. Identify the volume ID (uuid)

 

Step 4. From Virtualization menu, click on Virtual machines

 

Step 5. Identify the VM

 

Step 6. Connect to SynetoOS appliance via SSH as admin

ssh admin@<your_ip_address_or_hostname>

 

Step 7. Become Super User

sudo su

 

Step 8. Identify the pool name

zpool list

EXAMPLE

[root@syneto-os-ec support]# zpool list

NAME     SIZE  ALLOC   FREE  CKPOINT  EXPANDSZ   FRAG    CAP  DEDUP    HEALTH  ALTROOT

hybrid   200G   50G    150G        -         -    12%    44%  1.00x    ONLINE  -

 

Step 9. Change the configuration file (replace <pool_name> with the name of the pool, <uuid> with the ID from Step 3 and <vm_name> with the name of the VM)

sed -i "s|<cpu mode='host-model' check='partial'/>|<cpu mode='host-model' check='partial'>\
    <feature policy='disable' name='hypervisor'/>\
  </cpu>|" /<pool_name>/syn-volumes/<uuid>/<vm_name>.xml

EXAMPLE

sed -i "s|<cpu mode='host-model' check='partial'/>|<cpu mode='host-model' check='partial'>\
    <feature policy='disable' name='hypervisor'/>\
  </cpu>|" /hybrid/syn-volumes/e1f9a0c2-3e5b-4d7a-8c1d-0b2a4f6e3d2c/WinServer2025.xml

 

Step 10. Apply the changes to the configuration file (replace <pool_name> with the name of the pool, <uuid> with the from Step 3 and <vm_name> with the name of the VM)

virsh define /pool_name/syn-volumes/<uuid>/<vm_name>.xml

EXAMPLE

virsh define /hybrid/syn-volumes/e1f9a0c2-3e5b-4d7a-8c1d-0b2a4f6e3d2c/WinServer2025.xml

 

Step 11. Start the VM (replace <vm_name> with the name of the VM)

virsh start <vm_name>

EXAMPLE

virsh start WinServer2025
