Does the new version 6.11.0 fix the 6.10.3 vm usb passthrough problem

[DGB]

Hi,

Upgrading from 6.9.2 to 6.10.3 stopped the usb pass-through to my W10 VM working, it was still selected in the settings.

I rolled back to 6.9.2 and everything seams to be working again.

I like to keep up to date but don't want to loose the use of the usb in my VM.

Anybody know if it works in v6.11.0

Please advise

Cheers

DGB

Is it a specific device you have issues with?

 

usb passthru works on 6.10.3 and 6.11 only device I know off with issues are conbeeII which need to be connected as serial devices

Hi Simon

Thanks for the reply

I have an ASRock - X370 Gaming K4 motherboard with some of the usb port passed through to a windows 10VM.

Normally I would have a usb keyboard + mouse and also a usb hub plugged in.

When i upgraded to 6.10.3 the usb ports are no longer passed through to the vm and the keyboard doesn't even light up.

Reverting back to 6.9.2 everything works again.

Thats is strange so you are passing the USB controller at a PCI level into the VM

 

Maybe the PCI/IOMMU groups changed on the upgrade, have you checked for any BIOS updates?

 

[DGB]

there is a few BIOS updates

I'll update the bios then update unraid and see what happens

If you need to roll back get diagnostics before you do the roll back.

well i've updated the bios and now the VM cant boot and none of my 2 GFX cards are listed as options, just VNC  😕

Haven't tried updating unraid

Did you check that the Virtualisation options are enabled after the bios update as likely to have revierted to default.

 

I think it is SVM for AMD?

 

and maybe this for IOMMU

Advanced --> AMD CBS --> NBIO --> there should be an Option for IOMMU.

I can see the GFX cards in SysDevs but it says none available 

Cant see anything in the bios that need changed for Virtualisation but i'll check again, most be something like that.

 

thank you for the reply

 

[DGB]

SVM is Enabled 

NBIO was Auto i've changed to Enable but still not listing any GFX cards in the drop down

Looks like i'll maybe need to try downgrade the BIOS 

[DGB]

Hold on

Found another sub menu under NBIO and gotten IOMMU Enabled so the cards are back in the menu 🙃

 

Getting an error when booting VM now

 

I'll have a look at that and let you know

Have you checked that any vfio bindings are still correct?    Either of the OS or the Bios upgrades could lead to them changing IDs

Hi thank you for your reply,

No i haven't checked that, after upgrading the BIOS and UNRAID to 6.11.0 i can now select individual USB devices to pass-through to the VM.

Problems are the VM is soooooooo slow now to boot and I used to able to hot swap usb devices without having to edit the VM.

I've reverted to using a laptop ATM and will look at fixing the problems when i can but due to other commitments I don't have much time just now.

I'll report back when I can and probably to ask more questions 😁
