    IGD Device Assignment to VMs

    in Prerelease 6.3 Support

    Posted

    I was able to get Linux VM's running just fine with Skylake using only the IGD (HD Graphics 530).

     

    However with a Windows 10 VM i'm getting some weird issues. Screen is being duplicated 3 or 4 times horizontally. So on startup I see the windows spinning loading gif a the top of the screen in the middle and at the bottom. Basically i'm getting a sliver of the screen stacked three times.

     

    Any suggestions on settings to fix it?

     

    This happens before installing the Intel HD Graphics driver. You can work around this by using VNC (no IGD passthrough) to setup Windows, after that, turn remote desktop access on, and passthrough the IGD, and then use remote desktop from either your phone or another windows pc to setup the intel driver. The windows logo screen would still be duplicated horizontally but once it's boot to the login screen everything should work.

    go ahead and do it, I did it with a Mikrotik CHR vm and it works flawlessly with pppoe connection. Though I only have 2 ports on my unRaid box so I had to use the old router as a switch. If you have the right wifi module you can even pass it to the vm and set it up as a wireless AP as well.

    Win10 VM hangs host on antivirus software install 6.3.0-rc3

    It's not specific to Avast either. I tried two other pc management/tweaking solutions with embedded antivirus engine with the same result. They are 360 and Tencent, both are Chinese only so I don't think anyone here tried these. These two solutions, on installation seems fine, but dns does not work, i can ping 8.8.8.8 and the dns server's ip directly and nslookup works perfectly but pinging for example google.com or any other hostname fails. Then on restart the vm and the host crashes at the Windows 10 loading logo screen.

    Win10 VM hangs host on antivirus software install 6.3.0-rc3

    in VM Engine (KVM)

    Windows 10 VM guest hangs and the unRaid host system becomes unresponsive and would need a hard reset, if an antivirus software is installed and running. Steps to reproduce:

     

    1. Create a vanilla Windows 10 VM with the needed virtio drivers

    2. Install Avast, system hangs once Avast install finishes and the program starts up

     

    VM logs shows no error.

     

    Here's the my xml file, again, most settings are the default values. unRaid is on a skylake G4500 box.

    I am looking to run a VM for Plex Media Player. I was hoping to use the IGD for graphics/sound. Above are my IOMMU groups and devices. Upon reading the posts above and from my limited understanding am I correct in thinking that I will be unable to passthrough my sound device and as such will only be able to get video on my TV? Am I better off putting in a discrete GPU? Thanks,

     

    I have the same iommu groups with audio at 0000:00:1f.3 in group 9 with other devices. I ended up passing through everything in group 9 without any issues and audio works fine. I had to manually enable MSI in my windows VM though.
