Can't edit a virtual guest's memory settings (or anything)

>> you see the updated

Correct, triple checked.

Wonder if there is any low-level service I should send a SIGTERM or something?

Ok, this is kind of awkward … going back and forth, finally managed to identify the culprit.

Changing values by CLI works just fine, unless you’re being fooled by M$ guest refusing to accept any configuration beyond two sockets (a.k.a. VCPUS). And, yes, I know this from working with QEMU on vanilla Debian and it’s even mentioned in the TrueNAS documentation.

Learning is fun. Cheers

The issues still exists on TrueNAS-SCALE-23.10.1.3 apparently. I had to use the workaround.

This bug has been fixed in versions 24.04 and 23.10.2 of SCALE, as mentioned here: https://ixsystems.atlassian.net/browse/NAS-125803. We just have to wait for this update to be released. Meanwhile, there's a temporary solution available through the shell here: https://ixsystems.atlassian.net/browse/NAS-125803?focusedCommentId=232654.

I am also seeing this on TrueNAS-SCALE-23.10.1.3. The previous reports of this problem in the IX JIRA were all combined under https://ixsystems.atlassian.net/browse/NAS-125803 (which was slightly different, e.g not being able to edit due to GPU isolation errors) which has been marked as resolved and closed.

I can't get any output from the UI when this doesn't work - it just shows the "VM update successful" banner and the settings stay unchanged. I also can't get anything from journalctl when it happens either, there is just nothing logged. So I'm not sure how to get debug output to put in a new JIRA ticket yet.

I'm also experiencing this on SCALE 23.10.1.3.
Any changes to the VM done in the GUI is not applied, changing via CLI works.

I've opened a new bug report on the IX JIRA for this: https://ixsystems.atlassian.net/browse/NAS-127287

This is fixed in 23.10.2 which is not generally available yet, so I don't think any bugs need to be opened.

Thank you @Starrbuck, that's good to know, is there anywhere I could have looked to find this out?

I doesn't look like my report has been triaged yet, so I can just close it if the fix is coming in 23.10.2.

Supposedly fixed today, can anyone say they can now edit (after updating to 23.10.2)?

Yes it's fixed for me.

Yes it's fixed for me.

Awesome, might be time to finally update to Cobia then, was waiting for key bug fixes.
