[trying to passthrough 2nd NIC to pfSense VM. FAILED TO SET IOMMU FOR CONTAINER error]

Amazing what hitting the 'apply' button will do.

 

To anybody else running into this issue, after doing the above, also set PCIe ACS override to downstream. I originally thought I had tried this even though I thought I didn't need to since my NIC was only in 1 IOMMU group, but I guess I didn't press apply. 

[trying to passthrough 2nd NIC to pfSense VM. FAILED TO SET IOMMU FOR CONTAINER error]

Hi all,

 

I am attempting to passthrough a 2nd 2 port BCM5709 Gigabit Ethernet NIC to a pfSense VM (wanting to try pfSense on a VM before building a dedicated box for it) and I keep getting this error.

Google suggests that I add 

append vfio_iommu_type1.allow_unsafe_interrupts=1 vfio-pci.ids=14e4:1639 initrd=/bzroot

 to my syslinux.cfg file, but I continue to get errors when attempting to boot the VM.

 

I have also confirmed that my new nic shows up as only one IOMMU group.

 

Any thoughts on what else I can do to get this NIC to passthrough correctly? I have also attached a diagnostics.zip file. 

 

Thanks for any ideas.

[Machine Check Events Error]

This is a Dell Poweredge r510. The iDrac system event log doesn't show anything that wasn't done by me (the drive being removed was a mistake, and the power supply errors is me unplugging the redundant and re-plugging.)

 

[Machine Check Events Error]

Received the same message. Log file is attached. I believe that this is the relevant portion.

[IPMI Temperature Script and Crontab in Unraid]

*snip*

So I'm trying to get this working on my server and I'm having a few issues.

 

#!/bin/bash
# TEMPERATURE
# Change this to the temperature in celcius you are comfortable with.
# If the temperature goes above the set degrees it will send raw IPMI command to enable dynamic fan control
MAXTEMP=33
TEMP_STEP1=28
TEMP_STEP2=30
TEMP_STEP3=32
IPMIHOST=192.168.1.120
IPMIUSER=myUserName
IPMIPW=myPassword

# 28 -> 20%
# 30 -> 30%
# 32 -> 40%
# 33 -> Automatic control

# This variable sends a IPMI command to get the temperature, and outputs it as two digits.
# Do not edit unless you know what you do.
TEMP=$(ipmitool -I lanplus -H $IPMIHOST -U $IPMIUSER -P $IPMIPW sdr type temperature |grep Ambient |grep degrees |grep -Po '\d{2}' | tail -1)

echo $TEMP

if [ $TEMP -ge $MAXTEMP ]; then
        echo " $TEMP is > $MAXTEMP. Switching to automatic fan control "
        ipmitool -I lanplus -H $IPMIHOST -U $IPMIUSER -P $IPMIPW raw 0x30 0x30 0x01 0x01
elif [ $TEMP -le $TEMP_STEP1 ]; then
        echo " $TEMP is < $TEMP_STEP1. Switching to manual 20% control "
        ipmitool -I lanplus -H $IPMIHOST -U $IPMIUSER -P $IPMIPW raw 0x30 0x30 0x01 0x00
        ipmitool -I lanplus -H $IPMIHOST -U $IPMIUSER -P $IPMIPW raw 0x30 0x30 0x02 0xff 0x14
elif [ $TEMP -le $TEMP_STEP2 ]; then
        echo " $TEMP is < $TEMP_STEP2. Switching to manual 30% control "
        ipmitool -I lanplus -H $IPMIHOST -U $IPMIUSER -P $IPMIPW raw 0x30 0x30 0x01 0x00
        ipmitool -I lanplus -H $IPMIHOST -U $IPMIUSER -P $IPMIPW raw 0x30 0x30 0x02 0xff 0x1e
elif [ $TEMP -le $TEMP_STEP3 ]; then
        echo " $TEMP is < $TEMP_STEP3. Switching to manual 40% control "
        ipmitool -I lanplus -H $IPMIHOST -U $IPMIUSER -P $IPMIPW raw 0x30 0x30 0x01 0x00
        ipmitool -I lanplus -H $IPMIHOST -U $IPMIUSER -P $IPMIPW raw 0x30 0x30 0x02 0xff 0x28
fi

I've added variables for IP address, username, and pwd. 

 

When I run the script I get the following:

 

Script location: /tmp/user.scripts/tmpScripts/IPMI_Fan_Control/script
Note that closing this window will abort the execution of this script
/tmp/user.scripts/tmpScripts/IPMI_Fan_Control/script: line 20: ipmitool: command not found

/tmp/user.scripts/tmpScripts/IPMI_Fan_Control/script: line 35: [: -le: unary operator expected

I found this plugin for IMPI and installed it. It says in the post that IPMI Tool is no longer included in the plugin, but when I go to install the package it throws a bunch of errors at me.

 

 

 

Is there something I am missing/not understanding? I'm trying to increase the WAF of my server in our apartment and it's not going too well haha.

 

EDIT

 

So I had a brain wave and decided to check NerdTools, and there it was!

 

Now I get this error:

 

Script location: /tmp/user.scripts/tmpScripts/IPMI_Fan_Control/script
Note that closing this window will abort the execution of this script
27
27 is < 28. Switching to manual 20% control 

Unable to send RAW command (channel=0x0 netfn=0x30 lun=0x0 cmd=0x30 rsp=0xcc): Invalid data field in request

Any suggestions? 

 

EDIT2

 

Turns out that is a normal message! It works!!

 

Now for another nooby question: How often do I need to run this?

[SSD Trim failing on cache]

Hi all,

 

I recently purchased a 12(+2) bay Dell r510 and dropped in a H200 LSI 9211-8i without doing proper research on whether or not it would work for my use case. Apparently that particular card doesn't support TRIM on most SSD's aside from a very select few. Luckily for me, the Crucial bx500 SSD I have as my cache drive supports it.

 

Linux 4.19.56-Unraid.
root@Tower:~# hdparm -I /dev/sdf | grep TRIM # Crucial bx500 used as cache drive
           *    Data Set Management TRIM supported (limit 8 blocks)
           *    Deterministic read ZEROs after TRIM
root@Tower:~# hdparm -I /dev/sde | grep TRIM # Samsung 850 unassigned drive
           *    Data Set Management TRIM supported (limit 8 blocks)
root@Tower:~# fstrim -h

 

Unfortunately, when I run fstrim -v /mnt/cache/, I get this relatively cryptic error.

 

root@Tower:~# fstrim -v /mnt/cache/
fstrim: /mnt/cache/: FITRIM ioctl failed: Remote I/O error

 

Is there anything to be done to get TRIM working on my system? Anybody else with an r510 have any suggestions on what I should do? I am still within the return window for the LSI 9211-8i but would rather not have to return it as it took the card about 3 weeks to arrive to me from the US.

Yeah I did read those other posts. I wasn't sure if I was experiencing the same problem because my ping, download and upload are extremely consistent, I should be getting 10ms ping, 200Mbps down and 20Mbps up. The other posts I read were about inconsistent results from one test to another. I really don't know though it could be the same problem. here are some results, these were run days apart.

Did you ever find a solution to this? I am getting the exact same issues as you. Should be getting 15ms ping, 180Mbps down, 25Mbps up. Recently, I've also been getting no results at all. /shrug

hey,

 

I just installed in docker but when I open the webUI all i get is a white screen and it saying server disconnected.

I get this same issue too. I just switched to Edge and it worked. Will look into why Chrome isn't working on latest Windows 10. People here recommend clearing cache.

I'm trying to setup multiple instances of this Docker but am having some trouble getting it working. Every time I log in to one WebUI it kicks me out of the other. Is there something I am doing wrong?
