Question about USB passthrough and VMs


Recommended Posts

Trying to setup two different VMs and I want to be able to pass through the the motherboard USB controller and motherboard Bluetooth adapter. These all reside in IOMMU group 3. From what I understand I cannot passthrough these because this is where my Unraid flash attached. If I move the Unraid flash to an add-on usb card would I then be able to passthrough the devices in IOMMU group 3?

The only way to find out is to try. The motherboard may not boot from an add on card, but newer motherboards stand a better chance. Whether your groupings improve as a result is also a mystery, as the group could also include some of the pcie slots. If you get a successful boot then at least you can move the card around to different slots and see how the groupings change.
