No, unfortunately, I found no way to get it to work. After a frustrating two weeks with new hardware, I decided to move on from Unraid, and am now just running a regular Windows machine.

Hi Unraid family, After rocking Unraid solidly for 10 years, I decided it was time for an upgrade. Here's the new specs. Gigabyte B650 Gaming x AX v2 motherboard AMD Ryzen 7 7800x3D processor Powercolor Hellbound AMD RX 7800 XT GPU Unraid Pro 6.12.8 VM Running Windows 11. Getting the dreaded error code 43 on my display adapter. Configured Bios to enable IOMMU and other Virtualization technologies. Set onboard GPU to be primary display. Booted up Unraid, and HVM and IOMMU are both showing as enabled in System Information. I set Settings->VM Manager->PCIe ACS override to Downstream (these settings are new to me, but that's what I had read to do) I went into Tools-> System Devices, and bound my Vid Card GPU and Sound device to VFIO at boot. After reboot, you can see the mapping from the VFIO-PCI Log (another new process for me, but much smoother than manually editing config files.) I've also installed the AMD Vendor Reset plugin (although I can't seem to find any settings for it. Does it just do its thing when needed, or do I need to configure/use it?) Here's my VM XML. I've tried some various things I've read online, such as "hiding VM detection", adding the ROM from Tech Powerup website, booting with the GPU as a secondary vid card after VNC. <?xml version='1.0'

Hey, I know this is old, but this fixed my issue on my new gigabyte mobo, where I couldn't get my decade old unraid usb to be recognized as a boot device on new hardware. Removing the - from EFI- folder allowed my system to boot up on my new hardware, and I was off to the races. Thanks!

Upon initial install, I'm getting a "you do not have permission to access this server" message. I've installed Plex from other containers in the past, but their appdata and containers have been deleted for a while now. Not sure what's up. Nevermind. Was doing initial setup through VPN. I guess it doesn't like that.

I was concerned about creating a cache pool, but you guys are easing my mind on it. I have a 500GB Samsung PRO Evo 4, a 120GB Corsair, and a 120GB Silicon Power. Would this limit me to a cache pool of only 240GB?

Cool, I'm looking to get rid of my main HTPC VM, and go with a straight up Nvidia Shield Android TV front end with Kodi. Then put my Windows 7 Server WMC VM on with my gaming rig VM SSD, and point recordedTV to a separate SSD (previously occupied by HTPC VM), as that's where the high data write will happen. I don't think putting the tiny 25GB Win7 with my gaming rig is going to affect anything on gaming or tv performance as long as the Recorded TV virtual disk is on a separate SSD. Thanks for the input guys! Any recommendations on qcow2 vs raw for the Recorded TV virtual disk?

Hey, just curious on how people are setting up their VM's in regard to the image files. I currently have two SSD's out of my array, mounted with SNAP, and I have one VM per SSD. Is anyone running multiple VM's off of a single SSD? How is the performance? Is anyone running VM's off of their array? I would think this would be a major degradation in performance with having to keep parity, and obviously, working off HDD since SSD's aren't supported in the array yet..

Life got in the way. Furthest I got was working with VNC into it. Havne't tried hardware passthrough. Goodluck! Hoping to try more this weekend.

You could use unraid as your cell phone! But really, it's more of a "cause I can" thing. My end goal is to get Android TV working in a VM with GPU passthrough so I don't need to buy a physical Android TV. As much as I like Kodi, the lack of official apps for it like Netflix and HBO GO/Now, really kill the WAF. Having an Android TV with native apps for those services, plus Emby as my personal media hub and live tv would finally provide me an all-in-one front end for media conception in front of the TV. So I used Android Lollipop as a jumping off point since that seemed the easiest to prove it could work, and I'll go from there trying to get Android TV to work.

Barebones Android Lollipop 5.0.2 is running on Unraid! No hardware passthrough or anything. Here is the xml: <domain type='kvm' id='57'> <name>Android</name> <uuid>fc6b55c8-b219-49c2-368d-40bdb0076cdb</uuid> <memory unit='KiB'>4194304</memory> <currentMemory unit='KiB'>4194304</currentMemory> <vcpu placement='static'>1</vcpu> <resource> <partition>/machine</partition> </resource> <os> <type arch='i686' machine='pc-q35-2.1'>hvm</type> <boot dev='hd'/> </os> <features> <acpi/> <apic/> <pae/> </features> <clock offset='localtime'> <timer name='rtc' tickpolicy='catchup'/> <timer name='pit' tickpolicy='delay'/> <timer name='hpet' present='yes'/> </clock> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>restart</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64</emulator> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source file='/mnt/disk/samsungvms/Android/Android.img'/> <backingStore/> <target dev='hda' bus='virtio'/> <alias name='virtio-disk0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </disk> <disk type='file' device='cdrom'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source file='/mnt/cache/iso/android_x86-5.0.2.iso'/> <backingStore/> <target dev='hdc' bus='sata'/> <readonly/> <alias name='sata0-0-2'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='2'/> </disk> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-ehci1'> <alias name='usb0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x02' function='0x7'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci1'> <alias name='usb0'/> <master startport='0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x02' function='0x0' multifunction='on'/> </controller> <controller type='sata' index='0'> <alias name='sata0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x1f' function='0x2'/> </controller> <controller type='pci' index='0' model='pcie-root'> <alias name='pcie.0'/> </controller> <controller type='pci' index='1' model='dmi-to-pci-bridge'> <alias name='pci.1'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x1e' function='0x0'/> </controller> <controller type='pci' index='2' model='pci-bridge'> <alias name='pci.2'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x01' slot='0x01' function='0x0'/> </controller> <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:cf:91:6d'/> <source bridge='br0'/> <target dev='vnet2'/> <model type='virtio'/> <alias name='net0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x01' function='0x0'/> </interface> <serial type='pty'> <source path='/dev/pts/3'/> <target port='0'/> <alias name='serial0'/> </serial> <console type='pty' tty='/dev/pts/3'> <source path='/dev/pts/3'/> <target type='serial' port='0'/> <alias name='serial0'/> </console> <input type='mouse' bus='ps2'/> <input type='keyboard' bus='ps2'/> <graphics type='vnc' port='5900' autoport='yes' websocket='5700' listen='0.0.0.0'> <listen type='address' address='0.0.0.0'/> </graphics> <video> <model type='vmvga' vram='16384' heads='1'/> <alias name='video0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x0'/> </video> <memballoon model='virtio'> <alias name='balloon0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x04' function='0x0'/> </memballoon> </devices> </domain> In order for it to boot properly, I needed to remove the input devices, otherwise, I pretty much made a stock image with VMman. <input type='tablet' bus='usb'/> <input type='mouse' bus='ps2'/> <input type='keyboard' bus='ps2'/> I used the Android x86 image from here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4VR-WNTOX0qVnkyWExEZHdLTms/view I was directed there from guides, I did not upload that. I also had to select Raw for the HD type. The "Android is upgrading # of 66 apps" took over an hour to complete, and going through initial setup is terribly slow. Trying to create a new vm with different settings to see if it performs better. First one I used was with 32-bit settings, as I believe it is necessary. Secondary one is 64-bit. Thought I'd post an update. ETA: First boot after install, make sure to select Debug mode. It'll hang at a few spots during loading. Type "exit" to get past it. Basically, you can't remove Mouse and Keyboard from the XML and it can't load those drivers so it hangs. If you type "exit" after it hangs, it bypasses the driver and continues! Android is Upgrading now on 64-bit!

I started here, but I haven't seen much about Android TV. http://www.android-x86.org/ Youtube video. Lollipop, non-tv version, but still proof of concept. 4.4 install instructions, but probably still pretty similar. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2703270 I have qemu-img files from the Android SDK, which you can get from here. (Also where I got the screenshot) https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html I do have the Android SDK emulator running Android TV in a VM, but no google play services just cause I don't know how to integrate them. I'm very green on this Android Developer stuff. But I was able to get the new Emby app for Android TV working in it (minus video playback for obvious reasons). I found the API 21 was running better than the API 22, so I'd probably start with API 21.

Maybe not as difficult as it used to be since they've been releasing intel x86 system images. I know people have been using these in emulators and even to dual boot machines to get intel hardware acceleration, particularly with KVM. I'm just not sure if all the pieces/versions line up.

Just wondering if anyone has tried getting Android TV to work in KVM. I think I'm going to start dabbling with this, but if anyone made any good headway prior, I'd like to join their work in progress. Considering the Android SDK emulator uses qemu, I think this is possible. Biggest concern would be vid card and infrared receiver drivers.

My diagram is wrong. Every single USB port on my board uses the 00:14.0 Intel controller besides the 2 ASMedia ports. Ugh. Guess I'm getting a USB controller card.

Ok, so I think this might be the layout for our ASRock Xtreme 6 motherboards. Each internal USB 2.0 mainboard header has its own controller (00:1a.0 and 00:1d.0). The onboard port, and 4 left USB 3.0 ports are the Intel 3.0 USB controller (00:14.0). And the right two, and then 2 internal 20-pin USB 3.0 headers are the ASMedia controller (0c:00.0). Only reason I think the internal 20-pin ports work off the ASMedia instead of Intel is because "6 ports Asmedia and 5 ports Intel" makes more sense than "2 ports Asmedia and 9 ports Intel". I'll confirm this once some parts I just ordered arrive.

root@Tower:~# lspci | grep USB 00:14.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation Device 8cb1 00:1a.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation Device 8cad 00:1d.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation Device 8ca6 0c:00.0 USB controller: ASMedia Technology Inc. Device 1142 So you are using the intel controller. Crud, I was really hoping to avoid that. Aren't the four rear USB ports and the internal port all on that controller? That's a lot of ports for me to forward through when I only need one of them for my USB active extender, and that only leaves me with 2 for other machines. Maybe I did my testing wrong.

So you're passing through the ASMedia controller, and not the intel one, correct? 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.

Only itself in the group. ### Group 28 ### 0c:00.0 USB controller: ASMedia Technology Inc. Device 1142 Maybe I just need to try harder with the drivers, but I did try a bunch of different ones the last time I tried.

htpcnewbie and I have the same motherboard, and I came across having the same issues as they were. It is not a Win7 issue, as the same thing happens in Win8. Basically, the controller shows up in device manager, but it has a yellow exclamation because it has failed to start. We have the ASRock Xtreme6 LGA1150 motherboard.

Is it possible to do 9P sharing with Windows 8.1? Is it worth it to do so if it is possible? What are Pros/Cons? Thanks!
