[Additional features to KVM]

The KVM engine in unRAID is the generic KVM engine so if the feature is available on other platforms then it will also be available on unRAID.     You just might have to manually edit the XML templates to use them.   I often do this myself.    If what you are asking for is support via the unRAID GUI for these features then that is different but not how I interpreted your request.

Yes, you took words out of my mouth, I realised it exists but isn't in GUI options. I wasn't sure if feature is implemented but it would be great to have it with GUI. I find editing XML file pretty annoying.

Point 1, 2 and 4vsound like generic KVM requests and not unRAID specific so have you tried asking in the KVM forums?

 

As to more templates while it is a good idea each additional template adds to the testing effort for a release so a trade-off has to be made as to whether there should be a generic template or whether users should be left to simply make their own.   Perhaps an official way of extending the list of icons so they can be used with users own templates might be a good compromise.

1, 2 and 4 are already in KVM in almost every Linux distro and allowing to create generic template would be even better idea and allow it to write it to reuse later.

Just questioning will there be : 

1) Support for more network card models (Intel E1000, RTL 8139...)

2) More option for CPU model (Core 2 Duo, Opteron_G4, Phenom, Nehalem, Westmere, ARM64...) (It would be helpful to move VM's between servers)

3) More VM templates (Solaris, Oracle Enterprise Linux (It sounds silly, but I work in Oracle Enterprise Linux cause of databases and tools for developing in Java...)

4) If there are any Quadro or Tesla GPU users (I doubt) to have SR-IOV feature for splitting GPU to vGPUs

 

[How much RAM do you have installed in your unRAID server?]

Didn't have money for 32 gb's of ram, 16 gb wasn't enough for Gaming VM so I decided 2x 8 GB and 2x 4 GB, dual channel configuration

[Hardware recommendations for unRAID servers with VM's]

Gigabyte GA-AX370-Gaming K5

Usage : General Use, Virtualization, Light software development, Gaming.

Rating : Awesome, IOMMU groups are pretty well placed and its easy to perform PCI passthrough with VFIO driver, great UEFI, a lot of SATA ports, 3x PCI-e x16 slots.

Intel PRO/1000 PT Quad Port Server Adapter

Usage : Dedicated Network Controller for Docker & KVM

Rating : Great piece of hardware, really holds strong even during most difficult loads (4 users can hold speed of 100 mbps while copying mixture of huge & small files)

Sapphire Radeon RX 580 8 GB Nitro+

Usage : Gaming, video acceleration in certain software

Rating : Flawless, drivers work like charm, games are running pretty well with NVIDIA's adware (named Gameworks), software uses it to full potential. Only problem is when I shutdown Windows 10 VM, fans go full speed and I have to turn on Linux VM and shut that VM down so fans go back to normal speed.

 

All this hadware is running without problem in OVMF based VM with i440fx 2.11
