Execution Error Help Please Passing Through Quad Intel 82580 Gigabit Network Card

[mbc0]

Hi,

 

I have a 4 port NIC which I have managed to seperate on my HP Gen 8 Microserver using downstream all 4 ports are passed through but if I select any one of them (or all 4) I get the Execution error below.

 

I have tried VFIO allow unsafe interrupts also with no change.

 

Can anyone offer any advice please?

 

Many thanks!

Take a look at this thread, Its for PFSense but may give you some pointers.

Hi, 

 

Thanks so much for your time and the link, I have followed everything that user had done but still cannot start a VM (Any VM) with group 11-14 

 

CPU Mode, Machine type or Bios make no difference sadly,

 

Is it possible that this card will not pass through? could it be that I need a different card? I see others have successfully passed through but maybe not for my hardware setup?

 

Again, thanks!

This is HP Proliant, so:

vfio-pci 0000:07:00.0: DMAR: Device is ineligible for IOMMU domain attach due to platform RMRR requirement.  Contact your platform vendor.

 

You have this boot arg:

intel_iommu=relax_rmrr

 

But I think you need kernel patch.

 

Here some readings:

Thank you for your reply, I had already discussed the problem with @ich777 here 

 

He asked me to post in VM Support as he thinks it is not an RMRR issue?

I'm afraid but I think it is, your logs point to the rmrr issue:

Qemu log:

pci,host=0000:07:00.0,id=hostdev0,bus=pci.3,addr=0x0: vfio 0000:07:00.0: failed to setup container for group 11: Failed to set iommu for container: Operation not permitted

 

Libvirt log:

qemu-system-x86_64: -device vfio-pci,host=0000:07:00.0,id=hostdev0,bus=pci.3,addr=0x0: vfio 0000:07:00.0: failed to setup container for group 11: Failed to set iommu for container: Operation not permitted

 

Syslog:

Tower kernel: vfio-pci 0000:07:00.0: DMAR: Device is ineligible for IOMMU domain attach due to platform RMRR requirement.  Contact your platform vendor.

 

I read that a patch is included in >=RC2.

The patch has some print instructions, "Intel-IOMMU: assuming all RMRRs are relaxable. This can lead to instability or data loss", if it's applied:

https://github.com/kiler129/relax-intel-rmrr/blob/master/patches/add-relaxable-rmrr-5_8_and_up.patch

but there is no trace in your syslog.

Thank you, it states 6.9.0 RC 2 and up and I am on 6.9.2 so I presume the patch is included?  Hopefully @ich777 can confirm?

 

Thanks again for your time!

[ghost82]

I think he means 6.10RC2, if you're on 6.9.2 you need the patch.

Oh sorry, didn't read that you are on 6.9.0, you have to be at least on 6.10.0-RC2 so that the RMRR patch is included in Unraid.

 

Where does it say that you have to be on 6.9.0 RC2 that it will work, I'll have to change that if that's wrong...

 

The Kernel-Helper isn't available anymore because nearly everything is included in Unraid itself or at least available through plugins.

[ghost82]

I would suggest to backup your current unraid usb key and upgrade to the latest 6.10.0 RC3.

Apply the same boot arg and see if it gets solved, I wouldn't see any reason to not being able to solve this.

In case of troubles just restore the backup.

I think I fell into the trap on this thread as it is titled current, maybe that thread title can be changed if it is not current? This is where it states you need 6.9.0 RC2 & up and being on 6.9.2 and the fact I read the title of the thread as current.

Am trying this now, thank you

Current does not equate to RC/beta versions. Current pertains to stable versions. But I have updated that text to reflect that since there seems to be confusion.
