And I (but not xii5ku) occasionally ran boinc in Linux guests on whatever hypervisor the respective cloud provider might have been using, which was certainly not MS HV. (PS, I occasionally ran BOINC in virtual machines myself: I briefly experimented with Win7 guests in VirtualBox on Linux hypervisors, in order to run a project which only had a Windows application. Edit, and abort the tasks of all but the one project, to be sure. This report was for boinc on bare metal, not in VMs. I have seen a report elsewhere of NCI projects causing the client to not request work for 'real' projects. Just set *all projects but one* to No New Tasks. I mostly just wonder why the four identical VMs are behaving so differently, and if there's anything I can to do troubleshoot them to try to find out why they aren't all showing the same behavior.Ĭlick to expand.Don't even try to make sense of it. It's just sitting there with an empty queue and gives that same 'Not requesting tasks: don't need' message that VM3 has if I try to manually request new work for any normal projects.īOINC isn't the real priority here. But now it won't even do work for the NCI projects iThena and WUProp.

VM 4 doesn't even pretend to be running BOINC. And there's nothing else running on this system/VM. Even if it's not the highest priority project - and all projects are exactly the same priority - that should only apply when other projects already have enough work in the queue.

When I do a manual update to get new work, the BOINC event viewer says, 'Not requesting tasks: don't need (not highest priority project)' which doesn't make sense. VM 3 pretends to be running, but after a few initial tasks from the projects I assigned, it is now only working on a single iThena task (non-CPU-intensive project that does network mapping tests) and a single WUProp task (another non-CPU-intensive project that collects statistics on work done for any BOINC projects running on the system), and will not even try to request work from any of the 'normal' projects. A side effect of this is that it's still reporting the default CPU benchmark speed and not getting proper credits since I can't manually run a benchmark to get a real CPU score in the BOINC Manager. I have rebooted the VM and the host machine and tried reinstalling BOINC in the VM, but I'm honestly not sure I did that right. Nothing at all happens when I click on the BOINC Manager shortcut. VM 2 is running and returning work, but I cannot get the BOINC Manager to open on the VM screen.

Happily crunching along on various tasks from the projects, reporting results, and receiving appropriate credits. The results have me confused and I hope someone here can help me sort them out so I can have an idea where to start looking if the engineers run into similar problems.

I haven't done anything else inside any of them yet except to install the latest version of the BOINC client and attached them to a few projects to see how VMs and the host system behave when the VMs are being stressed out with 100% CPU usage. No problem installing and running them all at the same time. I set up four identical VMs running Linux Mint 20, each with two CPUs, 4GB RAM, and 20GB of drive space.

Since I have almost no experience with Linux OR with Hyper-V VMs, I decided to play around with making some VMs on my personal computer at home that has a Ryzen 9 3900X, 32GB RAM, and lots of free drive space on a second SSD where the VM drives are located.

I've been volun-told (told that I volunteered) to assist some of our software engineers with setting up Linux VMs on their Windows 10 workstations so they can do some development in Linux.
