No, not yet. I will recheck in the next few days.

You can use the iGPUs resources for VMs while unraid is also still able to use them, yes. Just connect via a service like sunshine/moonlight, parsec, rdp or vnc. If you need a physical monitor use an usb to hdmi dongle. But keep in mind, this plugin relies on a repo which seems to be no longer maintained. So don't just sell your gpu atm 😄 Once there is more information about the future of this plugin, it will be posted here.

Please remove the line and try again

Don't bind the gpu to vfio. Did you manually add modprobe i915 to your /boot/config/go file?

Please post Diagnostics.

For now you can ignore the VFIO_MAP_DMA errors. Is the vm running 24/7? Please post Diagnostics.

Sorry for the late answer. Can you please do the following: uninstall all intel igpu related plugins -> full shutdown of the server -> start server and install intel_gpu_top and afterwards install the sriov plugin -> go to sriov plugin settings page and hit "enable now" and set VFs to 2 and save to file -> reboot Don't touch any files manually. after the reboot check log files etc and repost diagnostics please. Please also test in terminal and post the outcome: intel_gpu_top -d sriov

Please post your Diagnostics.

No, you should find a way to bypass your limitations.

Then you are doing it wrong. You mustn’t passthrough the iGPU itself. You have to passtrough one of its VFs

I don’t see any VF in your list. Which device did you exactly passtrough?

Which problem exactly?

Hi! With SR-IOV you are able to share the devices resources with VMs. The device is still usable for the host system. In simple terms, the host and dockers use .. .. while you passthrough one of these VFs to a VM. The amount of VFs (Virtual Functions) can be increased if needed and is for example limited to 7 for Intel iGPUs as far as I have seen.

QuickSync should work. Did you check if device manager reports issues like code 43 or something else? Sunshine for example uses QuickSync. I can use Sunshine, but handbrake fails on both of my systems, although I know someone with an N100 on which the windows vm can utilize QuickSync in handbrake.

I can verify that you can use a physical monitor but you can not use the onboard hdmi/dp ports. With Intel GVT-g it was possible to use an usb to hdmi adapter. This also works with the new iGPUs, just passtrough the usb device and give it a go.. With my adapter I had to install a driver first, this may not be the case for every adapter.

Thank you! Unbind all devices from vfio and reboot your system. You don't need the audio controller for sound. You can install Steam and then use their builtin audio device or you install this Virtual Soundcard and use Moonlight/Sunshine. In terms of the VFIO_MAP_DMA errors at the moment I think that this is a hardware specific error message. My main gets the same messages (13500 also with UHD 770) but my N100 does not. But anyway, it seems that it does not have an impact to the vm. So unless there are issues affecting the vm I suggest we take a look from time to time and observe the situation. Maybe future updates will eliminate this error 😊 btw.. I just did some testing with my Windows11-VM and got some good results: Furmark Youtube Stats for Nerds

You should also be able to use a real monitor with an hdmi dongle. Still need to verify this though.

No it doesn't. You can run a VM and transcode within plex simultaneously. You just have to make sure that you do not passthrough the iGPU itself. Pass a VF trough to a vm and everything should be fine 🙂

Don't bind the VFs to vfio. Please unbind, reboot and try again 🙂

Do you have the VFs bound to vfio? If yes, unbind them and reboot. At best, unbind everything unless absolutely necessary.

What makes you think it uses 02.0 instead of 02.1 or 02.1? Have you tried waiting for a few minutes to see if the vm comes up?

Awesome! Thanks for the feedback after migration!

Okay, please take a look at this topic as this is not an issue related to the plugin.

No, you should still see the terminal output from unraid via hdmi. Use RDP, Sunshine or some similar tech. Parsec is not recommended right now.

Hey... I guess there is an issue with the sound card. Maybe it lacks FLR (Function Level Reset). I suggest you check for that icon in system devices: When you don't passthrough your sound card, does the vm start successfully just with vf1?
