  1. I have built an unraid based on a SuperMicro X9DAI motherboard. The build is up and running, but I can't get GPU passthrough to work. I am thinking of doing a new build. I have a few AMD AM4 motherboards (ASUS PRO B550M-C) which I can use as the base. I would like to build a gaming capable PC using GPU passthrough, so I would like to get some recommendations from folks here. Which Ryzen CPU is deal for this? Would like one that's best bang for the buck. How much ram should I get for this system? It has 4x DIMM slots Should I get a CPU with integrated GPU to use for the system? Or get a cheap GPU for the system, and a second GPU for the gaming? I heard it is best to have 2x separate GPUs for passthrough or can one work? The motherboard has 2x PCIEx16 slots. Use M.2 NVMe for cache? It has 4x SATA 6 GB/S ports for storage drives. Any recommendation ideal size? Would appreciate if folks that have built this in the past can provide some recommendations. Thanks!
  2. Update on this: I could not get RX 570 to work, so I swapped out the GPU with a really old Radeon HD 6850 GPU with 1 GB of RAM. So, I got 2 GPUs in the system now: 1. NVIDIA GT 1030 GPU with 2 GB 2. Radeon HD 6850 GPU with 1 GB I did the Spaceinvader GPU bios dump to dump both vBIOS. The script did complain the fie is too small, but it accepted it. It is possible because these are just older GPUs with limited capabilities. For some wild reason, I was able to pass through my WIN10 VM on HD 6850, so that's a huge accomplishment. For whatever reason, the system decided NVIDIA GT 1030 is the primary GPU for the system and UNRAID boots off that GPU. So, I decided to use the HD 6850 for passthrough even though I wanted to use the NVIDIA since it has 2 GB vs 1 GB on HD 6850. Is there a way to force the system to use certain GPU as the primary GPU? I looked around the SuperMicro X9DAI bios, but didn't find any settings. Is it due to which slot the GPU in inserted into the motherboard? So I was playing around the Windows 10 etc. I did a Windows update, and rebooted. I did try to install the Radeon GPU software from AMD, which could be the culprit of the reason for what's next to come. I then tried to reboot the VM since Windows 10 always ask you to reboot after updates, and it did not come back. My precious passthrough is dead again. I did all the multifunction etc like above, and nothing worked. So I am back to square one. I even tried to create new UBUNTU VM and new WIN 10 VM, and none will do pass through. I also re-downloaded the vBIOS, and it is still not working. At this point, I am seriously thinking about just letting the server be a headless server. I really want to get this passthrough working, so it is frustrating that it just won't work. Attached is the latest Diagnostic file. Really hope someone can give me some advice on how to get this working. It would be huge for this system. inno-unraid-01-diagnostics-20211118-0845.zip
  3. Silly question: but how do you add multifunctional settings into this? How do I edit this in settings? And yes, gpu-MSI-RX570.rom was dumped from the GPU using the space invader user script method. The VM is hanging now when I try to dump vbios for Nvidia GT 1030 though. Need to go back and figure out why I can't dump GT 1030 vbios still.
  4. I switched WIN 10 to q35 5.1, and did all the above. I also switched bios on the motherboard to UEFI. It booted up, but still can't do passthrough on the screen that's attached to AMD RX 570. I know the screen works since when I boot up, boot up screen shows up on both monitors (one to Nvidia 1030 and other to AMD RX570). Attached is the diagnostic file. At this pointinno-unraid-01-diagnostics-20211105-1614.zip, I wonder if I should just reinstall and start over?
  5. Thanks for the help. Sorry for my ignorance, but do you modify this under SETTING for each VM? Right now I got another issue is that I can't open the VMs page to edit VMs. I am not sure what caused this, but as of right now I can't even get to my VM page. It is running Parity Check now, so I guess I will wait until it is over? Is there a quicker way to get the VM page back? I am getting a blank page now when going to the VM page. For number 1 above about switching to q35, does that mean I need to boot my system under UEFI vs. legacy bios? I read here that Windows VM does not work in q35? I have applied number 3 above per your suggestion. Hopefully this will bring back the VM page. Will update with progress. Thanks again!
  6. I got 2 GPUs now on the system. I have 1x NVIDIA GT1030 Rev A1 GPU and 1x MSI AMD RX 570 4 GB GPU installed on the system. The system boots up to NVIDIA GPU fine, and I can see the UNRAID GUI login screen now. I got a second monitor hooked up to the AMD RX570 HDMI port. I tried to pass through using the WIN 10 VM, and I am getting nothing. I also tried to passthrough using the Ubuntu VM I just created, and I am also getting a blank screen. Why didn't it work? Any recommendation on what GPU would make this process easier? What else have people tried that's popular and working? Attached is the diagnostic file. Any advice would be appreciated. inno-unraid-01-diagnostics-20211104-1605.zip
  7. Thanks Jon. Yeah I seen that video already. My mother unfortunately don't have a built-in GPU. I followed the instruction in the video above, but I am still unable to get the display. My next step is I will install a second GPU to see if that will work. I will report back if second GPU can get this working somehow.
  8. Thanks for the help. Here is the diagnostic file. It is basically a new UNRAID install. inno-unraid-01-diagnostics-20211104-1030.zip
  9. I changed the WIN 10 GPU to VNC, and created a new VM using the Ubuntu template with the following settings: I am still getting a blank screen, but the keyboard I can change the light for CAP on/off.

  10. I did a dump of the GPU bios using user script. I updated the GPU passthrough on the WIN 10 machine with the following: Still, I am getting a blank screen on my monitor?

  11. Hi, Sorry in advanced if this has been asked many times prior. I been searching for an answer but can't seem to find one. Basically, I am trying to get my Windows 10 VM to boot up on the screen that's attached the UNRAID Server. I have a MSI RX 570 GPU on the server, and the monitor is hooked up to the RX 570 GPU. When I boot up unRaid server, I can see the BIOS info booting up etc on the computer monitor. Once its booted up, I want to get it to see Windows 10 login screen, which it is not doing right now. I can log into the server GUI from a different machine on the same network no problem. I got WIndows 10 machine Graphic Adaptor part set up to be the AMD RX 570 GPU. Also, I assigned the local USB Keyboard and mouse to the Windows 10 VM that's attached to the server. Here is the set up part: So what am I doing wrong? How do I get it to boot up on the monitor and use the keyboard/mouse that's attached to the server? Thanks in advance!
  12. I am new to unraid so I apologize in advance if this is a question that been asked many times. I am familiar with TrueNAS etc. I have built an unraid PC with graphic card GPU along with multiple drives. I can bring up the unraid server no issue via Web interface on a different computer. I have installed WIndows 10 as a VM. However, I can't seem to get the PC to boot into Windows 10 on the monitor that's hooked up to the server. What I want to do is use the same PC with multiple monitors hooked up as a daily PC. I would like to boot Windows 10 or Linux off the same PC with some kind of menu selection at boot. I would also like to hook up a keyboard and a mouse so I can use it like a normal PC while also able to switch between different VMs on the same PC. Is there a guide to do this? I have looked everywhere, and there does not appear to be a good guide. Would really appreciate any help on this. Thanks in advance!
  13. Sorry if this question been answered before. I install unraid, and everything went fine. I am able to boot into the system everything. I got a GPU installed, and able to boot into the Unraid GUI UI screen. I am able to log into the unRaid server using my root account. Everything seems fine, and I am seeing all the shares have started. Here are all the issues I am experiencing and would like some help with: 1) I am unable to get the Web GUI remotely on my laptop. I am able to ping the Unraid server IP, and Unraid can ping my laptop. It does not seem to be a networking issue. Should I be doing something different to get the Web UI to show up when I enter the Unraid IP address on my browser on my laptop? I would like to manage the server this way if possible. 2) I got a GPU installed on the Unraid server. The display on my monitor seems to be in 480p mode with two blank sides on the screen. How do I check if I got the right GPU driver installed? I have a Nvidia GeForce 2 GB GPU. Is there a way to configure this on the Web GUI? I just can't find it. 3) I installed a Windows 10 VM. I would like to use this VM as the default bootup so I can use this unRaid server like a Desktop. How do I get the VM to the main machine on this server? I would like boot up into this VM on the screen that's connected to the Unraid server. Is there a easy way to configure this pass through so I can run this Windows VM like a regular WIndows 10 machines? 4) I cant seem to be able SSH to the machine remotely. Really appreciate if anyone can help me with these installation issues. I am a newbie to Unraid but I am pretty experience with all the systems. It would be much appreciated if someone can point to the right place to get these issues resolved. Thanks!
