Result verification failed (400) machine: value does not match the regex pattern

[p.lakis]

All of a sudden i can not add any thing via GUI.

All node but one:

pveversion:
pve-manager/5.3-9/ba817b29 (running kernel: 4.15.18-11-pve)

The other is:

pveversion:
pve-manager/5.3-9/ba817b29 (running kernel: 4.15.17-1-pve)

Where exactly does this happen? And what are you trying to add?

 

[p.lakis]

Anything via GUI, Hardware / Options / Cloud Init - CI PASSWORD

I can add via Shell no issues, eg.

qm set 9000 --ide2 local-lvm:cloudinit

But if i try to add a Cloud-Init drive via GUI i get the above

Please post the complete output of 'pveversion -v', 'apt update' and 'apt full-upgrade'

Package versions are looking good. Do you have any extensions active in your browser? Clear the cache and try it again if possible.

 

[p.lakis]

Happening across multiple browsers in private and cleared cache scenarios.

Il just add.
I can add to one of the VMs in list but multiple are issuing the error, Its strange. Could a template restore cause this from another node??

 

[mira]

Please post the config of a problematic VM. (cat /etc/pve/qemu-server/<vmid>.conf)

Here is one of many:

The ',max-ram-below-4g=1G' leads to the result verification failed error. You'll have to delete it from the config.

 

[p.lakis]

Indeed it does, Although i need that there when passing through GPUs.

This is a new error that wasnt there on 5.2

 

[mira]

If you need it add it to the 'args'.

this config entry did not work since at least pve 4.2, which means that you actually did not need it if it worked

sorry, what i wrote is wrong (we did add it to the commandline)

but now we enforce our schema on the webinterface

so if you want to set this, you have to do it like dlimbeck said and
add '-machine 'type=q35,max-ram-below-4g=1G' to 'args' with qm set
