Tried all day with A770+W10 VM. Code 43 still. 
 

Set up a separate box for a fresh windows 10 install (not vm) card installs and works just fine. 
 

I'm out of ideas.

I am on 6.11.2, WIN11 and with ARC lastest beta and can get it passed thru.

But dont passthru the audio as it cause my host to lockup when the VM stops.

Wish they’d update the kernel with 6.11.2 but must keep waiting. I want to put this little monster in my Plex rig without using a VM.

I just noticed a comment in a Reddit thread regarding pass through. Apparently it worked if starting up the VM while no display was connected to the GPU then connected once booted. I’ll give that a try once I’m home to confirm

Looks like this was a bust; guess it’s back to the drawing board

I'm going to pick up an A750 to use replace the 1080 in my main rig... mostly to follow along with Linus' Arc challenge but once the Unraid kernel gets to v6 I'll move it over that way. Keeping an eye on this thread and hopefully all goes well enough to replace my old quadro. 🤞

Anyone have any luck?

I have a A770 i can pasthru to a VM but without the audio fine. With the audio vm works but crashes host on vm shutdown.

 

Have not tried with docker as current kernel does not support needs 6+

 

Using latest beta drivers on windows for arc

 

Edited November 28, 20223 yr by SimonF

I've gotten an A770 working on 6.11.5 in a VM with no audio as suggested previously. However, the VM has randomly crashed or frozen. I assume the culprit is the GPU, although I'm not 100% certain on that. I wouldn't say it's stable enough for Plex, but running Handbrake to transcode files works pretty well!

 

Looking forward to better driver support in the future.

I wonder if it's worth buy one of these cards before this all starts to work flawlessly and people will buy them up like candy.

That was my thinking. I’ve always enjoyed the tinkering with being an early adopter. I was also able to pick up an open box A380 for $111.96 at my local MicroCenter so figured the risk wasn’t that huge for the possible return once this becomes my transcoding card in my server.

What are your vm settings for the guys getting passthrough working? Any special steps taken? I keep getting code 43 after installing the latest beta drivers.

I didn't do anything special, just a basic Windows 10 VM. I also don't think I'm on beta drivers.

What happens when you restart the VM? Does it still work after that?

Yep, it restarts normally as long as I don't passthrough the GPU audio. The only problem I've been having with it is that it freezes after 2-3 hours of runtime. After a lot of research, I don't think this is related to the GPU passthrough but an issue with Unraid v6.11.5 that I haven't been able to resolve.

Are you using virtiofs or do you have memoryBacking with memfd and access mode set defined in the VM?

I cant get passthough to work either. I have nomachine on the VM and can connect to it but it fails to install the driver. Its a bit hard to operate as in this mode the resolution is 640x480

 

It doesnt show up on the monitor at all, I have also tried display port and hdmi.

 

I get error 43.

 

My other GPU works for passthough in this machine fine.

 

I also tried windows 10 and now 11 but same problem.

 

The card is not the primary when booting (in bios) and I am using the inbuilt GPU for that.

Edited December 30, 20223 yr by AndyLively

I can get it to install but when I reboot it is code 43. I can disable and then enable and the code will go away but the gpu is not usable. Reboot and its code 43 again.

Same thing here while using my threadripper build. 2 GPUs, one 1060 and one a380

Here's the full XML for the config (redacted private names). I believe it's virtiofs, but gonna be honest, I'm an ESXi guy so the way Unraid runs VM's is bit of a black box for me. This is running on a Ryzen 9 7900X with 32GB DDR5 5200mhz 2x16 (not ECC) memory. I have a VNC video adapter added alongside the GPU, just bridged the network adapter, and have two shares included.

 

Edit: I should mention that the A770 has a little USB cable plugged into an internal motherboard slot that controls the LED's, which I also have passed through.

Virtiofs is reported to create lockups, but I dont see the issue. I have a 770 with 12600K.It does seem to affect AMD CPUs more.

 

Its the memoryBacking need which is more of the issue as it is required for virtio.

 

Hopefully new kernel/virtio drivers may help in the  future. Not sure if you can try without?

This is with the beta drivers with the regular driver it cannot be enabled in when in OS at all. Just curious how it works for some people.  

There is a new driver released yesterday on the stable channel. 4032. This doesnt work for me either

I have just updated to these drivers and they work for me.

 

Ithink I don't have resizeable bar enabled in the BIOS as could not get it work with it enabled.

Disabling ReBAR right now and trying the 4032 driver to see if that helps.
