Most certainly sure, yes... have no issues connecting to my Plex Docker on my Media server from the same Android device(s) and my unRAID console via the browser, etc, I just removed the entire new VM, re-setup everything and no change, so I think time to call it a night and look at it again in the morning. -W

No USB devices, and I tried using Kore App on my Android device and it's not finding any media center on my network even though the VM is running and I can see the "OpenELEC" has been assigned an IP address on my router. Attempted a manual config to that IP but no clue on Username/PW and it didn't connect either, so I'm likely missing something obvious. I tried to SSH from into that IP with no luck... Maybe I just need to wait... I didn't get the whole Docker and VM's thing for a while either, now more or less "get those", so maybe this will eventually "hit me" also. -W

Thanks for you help getting the OpenElec VM started... I guess I still don't get the Kodi part... I can't seem to remote or access the OpenElec VM in any way to make any configuration changes, add my video shares, etc. I guess I need to keep reading, but it seems uber complex with not very good docs on setting up, or doing something with the VM or the app, but maybe I'm just "slow"... -W

OK, well I did both of those things...(before I saw this 2nd reply), I moved one of the SAS Cards up one PCI-E slot and also enabled the ACS Override... The VM Appears to now have been successfully created (now I need to find the writeup on what to do with it now and how to setup Kodi ).... Should I disable the ACS Override Setting?

Appears to be one of my SAS Controllers 01:00.0 RAID bus controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88SE9485 SAS/SATA 6Gb/s controller (rev c3) I'll enable the PCI ACS Override, reboot and report back.

Unsure if proper place to add this, but unable to start the newly created OpenElec VM. Attempting to start using a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560TI and get the following "VM Creation Error" when I click Create. internal error: early end of file from monitor: possible problem: 2015-09-01T02:11:03.171941Z qemu-system-x86_64: -device vfio-pci,host=02:00.0,bus=pcie.0,multifunction=on,x-vga=on: vfio: error, group 1 is not viable, please ensure all devices within the iommu_group are bound to their vfio bus driver. 2015-09-01T02:11:03.171963Z qemu-system-x86_64: -device vfio-pci,host=02:00.0,bus=pcie.0,multifunction=on,x-vga=on: vfio: failed to get group 1 2015-09-01T02:11:03.171970Z qemu-system-x86_64: -device vfio-pci,host=02:00.0,bus=pcie.0,multifunction=on,x-vga=on: Device initialization failed 2015-09-01T02:11:03.171977Z qemu-system-x86_64: -device vfio-pci,host=02:00.0,bus=pcie.0,multifunction=on,x-vga=on: Device 'vfio-pci' could not be initialized

I am building my server this weekend with the same case and icy docks. Right now I only have 2 cages and not sure when or if ever i would need 4. But if that time comes, what did you do with the power/reset module that takes up the top slot that limits the stock case to 11 bays? thanks, Murray I popped that whole panel off, then removed the Power/Reset switch from it, and run the power wire to the MB through a hole in the back of case on the bottom. I need to fasten it, or get a replacement switch that is a little "neater", but it's pretty well hidden at the back of the case on the bottom. If it is not too much of a pain to get to the back of your server, could you post a picture so I can get a better idea how you did it. Again, it may be years or never until I would ever need to do it, so if it is too much trouble don't worry about it and if you can do it, I am in no rush so do it at your convenience. thanks, Murray

This is a couple years in the making, so some of my HW isn't state of the art any more, but functions pretty well now that I have an adequate SATA Card...
