Thanks. I think I've got it. I'll check when I get home this evening.

Thanks Saarg, just found that in another post. I rebooted and the VM "started" without issues, however, the VM wouldn't actually "boot up" it stopped on the windows boot screen. I'd like to enable DVD passthrough, I've found this post on reddit that outlines the procedure, but I cannot figure out which device is the DVD drive. 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Device 591f (rev 05) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Skylake PCIe Controller (x16) (rev 05) 00:01.1 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Skylake PCIe Controller (x8) (rev 05) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 630 (rev 04) 00:14.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-H USB 3.0 xHCI Controlle r (rev 31) 00:16.0 Communication controller: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-H CSME HECI #1 (rev 31) 00:17.0 RAID bus controller: Intel Corporation SATA Controller [RAID mode] (rev 31) 00:1b.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-H PCI Root Port #17 (rev f1) 00:1b.3 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-H PCI Root Port #20 (rev f1) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-H PCI Express Root Port #1 ( rev f1) 00:1c.6 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-H PCI Express Root Port #7 ( rev f1) 00:1c.7 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-H PCI Express Root Port #8 ( rev f1) 00:1d.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-H PCI Express Root Port #9 ( rev f1) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-H LPC Controller (rev 31) 00:1f.2 Memory controller: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-H PMC (rev 31) 00:1f.3 Audio device: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-H HD Audio (rev 31) 00:1f.4 SMBus: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-H SMBus (rev 31) 00:1f.6 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection (2) I219-V (r ev 31) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK208 [GeForce GT 720] (re v a1) 01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GK208 HDMI/DP Audio Controller (rev a1) 02:00.0 PCI bridge: Integrated Device Technology, Inc.

Just replaced the card with a much newer NVIDIA GT 720, and I'm getting a similar message. internal error: qemu unexpectedly closed the monitor: 2017-11-26T20:52:46.331960Z qemu-system-x86_64: -device vfio-pci,host=01:00.0,id=hostdev0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5: vfio: error, group 1 is not viable, please ensure all devices within the iommu_group are bound to their vfio bus driver.2017-11-26T20:52:46.331976Z qemu-system-x86_64: -device vfio-pci,host=01:00.0,id=hostdev0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5: vfio: failed to get group 12017-11-26T20:52:46.331984Z qemu-system-x86_64: -device vfio-pci,host=01:00.0,id=hostdev0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5: Device initialization failed How do I ensure the card is bound to its vfio bus? I'd also like to passthrough the DVD-RW drive, is that possible too please?? Thank you.

Good evening all. Just in the process of moving to unraid. I've got the drives all setup (for the most part,) and set up my VM's with various VLANS- PERFECT! Now I'm trying to set up one "physical" machine using GPU passthrough, however, I'm getting the following issue when I try and start the VM. internal error: qemu unexpectedly closed the monitor: 2017-11-26T14:13:41.883927Z qemu-system-x86_64: -device vfio-pci,host=01:00.0,id=hostdev0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5: vfio: error, group 1 is not viable, please ensure all devices within the iommu_group are bound to their vfio bus driver.2017-11-26T14:13:41.883943Z qemu-system-x86_64: -device vfio-pci,host=01:00.0,id=hostdev0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5: vfio: failed to get group 12017-11-26T14:13:41.883949Z qemu-system-x86_64: -device vfio-pci,host=01:00.0,id=hostdev0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5: Device initialization failed Can anyone shed some light on this please? IOMMU is enabled. Thanks.

Thank you. I will add the VLAN's in tomorrow. I've a new issue now whereby I can't start VM's I'm getting the error: "Your hardware does not have Intel VT-x or AMD-V capability. This is required to create VMs in KVM. Click here to see the unRAID Wiki for more information" I enabled VT-d in the bios before I ran unraid for the first time. My processor is an i7-7700k. Thank you.

Thanks for the info Johnnie - I really appreciate your help. At the moment, my data is all on the 4tb drives radied in a dell R410, I need to copy the data to the new unraid system. So i should set up a 4x 4tb not worrying about parity for now, then once the data is transferred, add the additional drives to the system, and add the two 6tb as parity? I've a couple more questions if you don't mind: I'd like to backup the data to another share/drive, so I've always got a copy should the worst happen. I've not done much on Linux before so this is all new to me. I already have Hyper-v machines running on my R410, so ideally I'd like to just migrate them to the unraid system. Does unraid support tagged/untagged VLANs, if so how do I implement them? unraid isn't recognizing the onboard NIC, just the quad port card I have connected, how do I go about adding drivers?

Thank you, Johnnie, I don't have the 6tb in the machine at the moment, can I set up the 3* 4tb with one of the 1* 4tb as parity for those drives then setup the 6tbs at a later date? again with a 6tb parity drive, (or two) giving me the drive setup I had in mind? how do I go about creating the 12tb share with parity from the 4tb drives? Thanks.

That sucks. I wanted the span of the 4 4tb drives to give me the space I required. I like the idea of being able to use the hardware for a server that just runs in the background, and also for the main family PC, but it seems this will dead in the water if I can't "span" the drives using a traditional raid setup taking advantage of the multiple drives.

Thank you for your help. Can I still utilize raid feature sets, i.e. multi-drive spans for size? I'm after three "partitions" if possible of around 2x 6tb and 1x 12tb. Is this still achievable? Thank you

I've just purchased and built a similar system I7-7700k, but the original board bios needed updating.) The board i purchased supports asus flashback, which enables you to update the bios without having a CPU or RAM installed. I found the correct bios, put it on the pen drive with the correct name, and connected it. Pressed and held the flashback button, waited about 5 minutes (IT SEEMED LIKE FOREVER!) Once it stopped flashing, i put the CPU and RAM in, and it worked perfectly.

Evening all. I've finished building my unraid machine. Anyway, whilst i was building I was planning my arrays in my head, but i think i may have overlooked how unraid creates arrays. I've got two 250gb SSD's for the cache, 4* 4tb Drives 4 *6tb Drives My original plan (in my head) was to raid 5 the 4tb's, then raid 10 the 6tb's giving me around 20tb of usable space. I wanted to use 6tb as my media backup (I need fault tolerance, as i have all my family media on there, baby photos etc.) Then use the 4tb's with various vm's one will be the family computer, one will be a web server, and another will (eventually) be a pf sense server. Can someone advise how I go about setting this up, or if there is a better solution please? Thanks.

ended up going with Asus Maximus VIII Board in the end. all built now, finally! now to move onto testing! I need some help with arrays, so i'll start a new topic.

not to worry, i've changed the motherboard to an Asus X99-A II with 10 onboard SATA ports. That should do! Thanks. Karl

Good Morning again, I have a spare MR SAS 8708EM2 card, can I use that to connect my backplane and present the drives to unraid? Thanks. Karl.

Thanks. I want to replace the R410 as the fans are a little noisy in my litlte cupboard. so i've ordered the hardware i outlined above. The motherboard I've ordered has six sata headers on it, so that'll get me going. i'll have six network ports on the new machine, so my plan is to use three directly for PFsense, (red/green/orange) and then share the others between unraid and the VM's. I assume unraid supports internal vlans? Once i'm done i'll be selling the R410.

Evening again all, Can anyone help at all please? Thanks.

Good evening everyone. I'm after some advice please. I hope this post makes sense, and ANY advice is much appreciated. Current Setup: At the moment i have a number of machines in my cupboard that are running. 1 * Family computer : Core i3-2100 / 8Gb RAM / 160Gb HDD (windows 10) 1 * Dell R410 Server: 32Gb RAM / 2 * E5520 / 4 * 6tb Drives - (raid 5 on an H700 card) / 1* 120gb SSD + 1*160 2.5" HDD. (Server 2012) - This is running three hyper-V machines, 1 for downloading media, 1 as a webserver, and 1 minecraft server for my children. - This is also used a backup target (NAS basically) for my Media Center - 1 * Media Center: Intel Core i7-5820k / 64Gb RAM / 8 HDD's of varying sizes holding music, pfamily pictures and other media the family watch / (Running Windows 7) / connected to my TV, and serves media to my children's 360's (hence windows 7), and the tv in bedroom all via emby. RAQ550 as a firewall. I'd like to keep my media center as I love the way it works as the moment; HOWEVER When the 360's are replaced windows 7 can be replaced with a newer OS, as long as it connects to the TV in my living room and runs an emby theatre, i'm not fussed.) The Hardware: I've got a new a 2u case with 8 * removable drive bays on the front, obviously I'm going to utilise the existing 6tb drives I have in the R410 in my newbuild, but i was thinking of purchasing the following: Intel Core I7-7700K 4.20 GHz Socket 1151 8MB Cache Retail Boxed Processor Asus Intel TUF Z270 MARK 1 LGA 1151 ATX Motherboard G.Skill Flare X 32GB Kit DDR4 2133MHz RAM I have a quad port NIC i'm planning on putting in the new build. The Requirements: Be my family PC, Be a backup target for my media machine, Run a vm for downloading and managing media, (media center master) Run a vm for minecraft (possibly but they don't use this very often so might lose that!) Run a vm for a basic webserver i use for hosting my wifes blog, (few hits) and a reverse proxy server, Run a vm for PFSense. Is it possible to migrate my Hyper-V machines to unraid at all? I'm happy to swap the RAM out of my media center into this so it has 64gb RAM. I would even consider setting up unraid on my existing media center to split load it into an emby server and a simple media playback machine connected to the TV in my livingroom. Thank you!
