Great work guys, Thank you for coordinating and getting a plugin out for the user community.

+1 on b12 until the b13 issues are sorted out. Can you please elaborate on what does vm-tools help with? I would love to have the ability of some programs (like Plex) bypassing the VPN. (not related to vm tools at all) EDIT: open vm tools: http://open-vm-tools.sourceforge.net/about.php

I have seen the GUI non-responsive couple of times when attempting to clean stop, maybe something in my VM settings could be the cause. I am more comfortable with the terminal and hence I have used it to stop and start the VM. The Win 8.1 installation on my system behaves pleasantly strange. The VM goes into a 'suspend' mode. When I destroy and restart it, it seems the VM starts from a suspend state, all the previous windows are back on. Copied below is my terminal script. I also use this script through my Android phone using "Script Kitty" and it works perfectly. root@Tower:~# cat /boot/bin/restartvm.sh virsh destroy win81pci2 virsh start win81pci2 As for the installation part, I have edited the xml's manually and used the GUI only for creating the VM's and hence cannot help much there.

I am trying get started setting up a kodi server. Installed Mariadb but little lost at this point on what to do. Can someone help with a quick walk through for a fresh install to get this docker for kodi server and the appropriate setup for kodi client? another build finished, with this "stable" build. have removed the EDGE routine, because if this stable version works better, running edge to update will screw it up again.

Peter - Would it be possible to skip one or couple of application from routing through the VPN and let is go through the WAN? I need plex and madsonic to pass through, PIA VPN allows only one port forward.

Yep, I am passing the Intel controller.The right usb ports (below the PS/2 KB) are USB5 and I had trouble passing it when using Win7 (no passthrough worked for me with Win7). I have not checked passing through the USB5 port with Win8. I think most of the ports are on usb3, the Intel controller. Maybe a x1 usb pcie card could help, like this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815166026?

reluctantflux - Here is my output from lspci and the highlighted one is the one I am passing for USB (usb3/BUS 003). This config has the pci usb slots passing through, so I am not sure whether some of them are not visible to Unraid. EDIT: looks like I cannot make the bold that is input in code format but I have not removed the bold code to highlight the relevant code.

Can you show me your "Universal Serial Bus Controllers" section of Device Manager? I'm curious on if you have different host controllers showing than me. Also, I read this could be an issue with the Bios, having the USB 3.0 supporting legacy devices.

Hey reluctantflux - I have been meaning to ping and let you know about this but travelling this week and got busy. I tried win8.1 with the xml that I posted earlier on this thread and the Pci pass through for usb3 worked without trouble in first go. You were right about it not working in win7 though but it worked in win8.1. My unraid key is moved to usb5 slot, bottom left side (front looking aft). I think the inside USB slot, inside usb2 headers and mobo right side slots are on usb3 which I am passing through. Can you try this config and see whether it works on your win8.1? Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! EDIT: I just checked the xml I posted earlier and seems it is my first pass using usb5 pass through. If you are having trouble let me know and I can send my working version of xml. I will be back home this Monday.

Spent sometime debugging and think it could be Win 7 related. I moved all the pci passthru intended usb's to usb003 (has one pci address similar to OP) and moved my unraid flash drive to usb005 (has two pci addresses). Defined the vfio-bind and qemu. The VM started and everything looked good except that the usb devices on pci pass thru were not recognized. In fact as soon as I defined the vfio-bind, the keyboards and mice on usb003 lost their power and kvm>devices did not show any usb003 devices. I am going back to define my usb's in host mode until I get around to installing Win 8

Arche - I realized that unraid cannot see bus005 by accident. After I started the VM and the usb devices weren't responding, I saw that none of the bus005 devices were not visible in VM > devices > pci. I thought they were disconnected and double checked they were all connected. A reboot showed they were visible again. So to answer your question, yes they were correctly vfio binded. I was wondering whether my interpretation of the pci address to xml is incorrect since I see two parts in there and I am using only the second part in the pci address. I am going to try to check again later tonight ... Meanwhile let me know if you have any suggestions to try out.

Yes, the VM starts but the usb devices are not recognized in Windows. If I add the second part of the pci address (to vfio bind and qemu part in xml), the VM doesn't start.

Excellent write up, thank you! I just setup my KVM and this couldn't come at a better time. I did a little bit of usb-investigation and not having much luck with pci passthrough. I have a long 40ft monoprice usb cable (think it has a in-built repeater) that goes to my htpc and need to passthrough just this port for now. I have rearranged the usb ports so that bus 005 has only these devices. I defined the xml and vfio binds based on the archedraft's example. I have two pci address and that could be the tricky part here. I am having trouble Windows 7 recognizing the devices ... output of >lsusb Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:8001 Intel Corp.

Yep, makes sense. I will run the disk for another 2 cycles before setting it in the server. Thanks for the suggestions!

Wanted to give a quick update .. my preclear run from yesterday got done just a while ago and everything looks okay.

Joe - I noticed that bit but didn't see why that would be the case. I also noticed that the MBR on this disk had 3 partitions similar to before the preclear process. I reasoned that since the partitions were not deleted (as I hope they would) and preclear was having issues with it. So I started a second pass of preclear this morning after explicitly deleting the partitions with "preclear.sh -Z" option. I was planning on waiting on the second pass result to see what to do further .. sounds reasonable? I ran stress tests (with prime95) for a day which stressed out both the memory & CPU at 100% before I started converting the machine to unraid server. Yes, and it told you why, you just missed it.

Newbie to unraid here, got my first pass of 4 HDD's done and one of them did not pass the preclear. Surprising that I did not find any errors from the output. I have explicitly cleared the MBR with -Z option (there were 3 partitions from Windows) and have started the 2nd pass this morning. Any thoughts on why the preclear did not go through?
