    ***GUIDE*** Passthrough Entire PCI USB Controller

    in VMs

    Posted

    I think you need to add this first

        <qemu:arg value='-device'/>

        <qemu:arg value='ioh3420,bus=pcie.0,addr=1c.0,multifunction=on,port=1,chassis=1,id=root.1'/>

        <qemu:arg value='-device'/>

        <qemu:arg value='vfio-pci,host=00:14.0,bus=root.1,addr=00.0'/>

     

    Hi again. No that didn't work. I didn't add this before because I thought it was for a card. Anyways it throws an error for the following:

    <qemu:arg value='ioh3420,bus=pcie.0,addr=1c.0,multifunction=on,port=1,chassis=1,id=root.1'/>[/b]

     

    It it possibly the address as I highlighted above?

     

    Thanks

     

    Depends on what the error message says? Can you post a screen shot?

        <qemu:arg value='-device'/>

        <qemu:arg value='ioh3420,bus=pcie.0,addr=1c.0,multifunction=on,port=1,chassis=1,id=root.1'/>

        <qemu:arg value='-device'/>

        <qemu:arg value='vfio-pci,host=02:00.0,bus=pcie.0,multifunction=on,x-vga=on'/>

        <qemu:arg value='-device'/>

        <qemu:arg value='vfio-pci,host=03:00.1,bus=pcie.0'/>

        <qemu:arg value='-device'/>

        <qemu:arg value='vfio-pci,host=00:1b.0,bus=pcie.0'/>

        <qemu:arg value='-device'/>

        <qemu:arg value='vfio-pci,host=09:00.0,bus=root.1,addr=00.1'/>

      </qemu:commandline>

     

    Does it work if you remove those bolded items above?

    In the latest version I have quoted the values of the conf file, e.g. disks="/mnt/disk1 /mnt/disk2". This is needed when spaces are present.

     

    You may want to upgrade. As an extra measure I suppress error readings.

     

    Thanks for testing.

     

    Thanks, I was 1 version off  ;D Latest version added the "".

    # cat /etc/inotifywait.conf

    exclude=

    disks=/mnt/disk1 /mnt/disk2

     

    I also got an email from my server. Same message but a little more info:

    Subject:

    cron for user root /usr/bin/run-parts /etc/cron.daily 1> /dev/null

    Body:

    /etc/inotifywait.conf: line 3: /mnt/disk2: Is a directory

    inotifywait watches for file changes and whenever a new file or modified file is saved to disk, it triggers bunker with the necessary options to do the checksum calculation and add this to the extended attributes.

     

    This all goes transparantly for the user, and there should be minimum performance impact in the normal file operations.

     

    Wow that's pretty slick. From your pictures above it looks like you are using blake2; however, the help section says that "this is a proprietary solution though". What (if any) are the potential risks of using blake2 being proprietary?

    To use this utility you need to build first the extended attributes for all files you want to monitor, once this is in a place, any newly created or modified files get automatically their extended attribute information added. This is the function of inotifywait which tracks file changes and triggers bunker when this happens.

     

    Just installed and it looks great! Awesome work as always. I removed my old checksums and decided to use blake2 so it is recreating them as I type this. So inotifywait will add any new or modified file automatically?

    Crontab added through go script not working

    In unRAID v6 it is made much simpler to add custom cron entries.

     

    Create a folder on your flash device under plugins, e.g. /boot/config/plugins/mycron

     

    In this folder you can put one or more cron files. Choose an appropriate name and give the file the extension .cron

     

    The file content is a cron entry and it uses linux style line endings (make sure you use an editor which can do that, e.g. notepad++)

     

    For example the file localmaster.cron has the following:

    # Generated local master browser check:
*/1 * * * * /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix/scripts/localmaster &> /dev/null

     

    This starts the script "localmaster" every minute.

     

    Note that scripts don't have to be under the dynamix folder, you can create your own folder (can be on flash too) and point to it.

     

    Upon system reboot ALL .cron files are automatically loaded in the cronjob. You can also do a manual load by telnetting into your system and perform: update_cron

     

    This is awesome! I just setup a cron job to run a custom script. Question: I currently have it set to run my script every 10 mins and the script lives on my flash drive. Is that going to cause extra wear and tear on the flash drive or is it fine? I could move the script to different location once the server boots if that is recommended?

    I followed this guide to passthrough the USB controller that my FUJITSU SnapScan document scanner is connected to, but I am getting an error when I try to start my Windows 8.1 VM about the following line; which the guide says is required.

     

    <qemu:arg value='ioh3420,bus=pcie.0,addr=1c.0,multifunction=on,port=1,chassis=1,id=root.1'/>

     

    I don't understand why this line is required as it is written?  What if my server does not have the device ioh3420 on bus pice.0 with address 1c.0?  Please see the attached screenshots.  My XML for the VM is below.  I'm running unRAID 6.1.3.  Thanks!

     

    What does it say if you remove the follow and try and start?

        <qemu:arg value='-device'/>

        <qemu:arg value='ioh3420,bus=pcie.0,addr=1c.0,multifunction=on,port=1,chassis=1,id=root.1'/>

    SOLVED, i think ?? I can now hot plug usb things.

    Method used guide, but still wounder why this method did not work for me and litle confused what is diffrent about this two method.

     

    Added

    <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'>
      <driver name='vfio'/>
      <source>
        <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x12' function='0x2'/>
      </source>
    </hostdev>

     

    Are you passing through a graphics card as well? If not I think the issue is that instead of

    <qemu:arg value='-device'/>

    <qemu:arg value='vfio-pci,host=00:12.2,bus=root.1,addr=00.1'/>

     

    It should have been:

    <qemu:arg value='-device'/>

    <qemu:arg value='vfio-pci,host=00:12.2,bus=root.1,addr=00.0'/>

    So I am lost at what to do next, maybe there is something I need to do in the Bios??? Or could it be a driver issue? I don't know what I should try next to pass through this USB card. Any help I would greatly appreciate it.

     

    Thanks again for the help from before! Look forward to hearing from you!

     

    Have you tired using this instead of the 06 lines?

    0000:00:1c.4

     

    Another option would be to move your unRAID usb to the new internal card and then pass through the motherboard USB? Just a thought.

    ok...  now some dumb questions..  did you refresh the browser?  Did you try to reboot the system?

    The script name looks right if in fact it really is in the correct directory like you say it is... I would just double check that.  after that, I'm out of ideas..

     

    Jim

     

    I just tried removing and re-adding the plugin and now the icon looks different and it doesn't show up under Settings.  Do I need to reboot after installing this plugin?  If so I'll have to do that late.

    And yes I've confirmed the directory location is correct and I've reloading my browser.

     

    EDIT: Hmmmm, wonder if this is an issue with VMware.  The script seem to install properly and work fine on my backup server which is baremetal.

     

    Mine did the same thing when I tried to uninstall and reinstall. A restart seemed to fix it; although it still gets stuck on the "Please wait... retrieving information!" window for me. I am running unRAID on bare metal. Not really sure what to do next but I have been running some manual preclears for the last couple of days  :'(

    I am wanting to preclear a disk that I used to have mounted via unassigned devices. I unmounted that drive and then clicked on the preclear icon next to the disk. The preclear screen is stuck showing me "Please wait... retrieving information!". I have tried restarting my server and different web browsers but it stays stuck with that message. Any ideas on how to get past this screen?
