IOMMU disabled in Unraid although it is activated in the UEFI

Featured Replies

I recently purchased a new server. I would like to use it to make a graphics card passthrough to a Windows VM. However, I have not yet succeeded in activating IOMMU. 

 

Specifications of the server:

XPC cube SH570R8

-CPU: Intel Core i5-11600k

-Motherboard: Shuttle SH570

-GPU: Nvidia Geforce RTX 3060

 

VT-d is present and activated in the bios. When I deactivate it, it changes from 'Disabled' to 'Not available' in Unraid. According to Intel ARK, the processor is VT-d capable. I couldn't find any information about the motherboard online, but I don't think it should be a problem because the option is displayed in the bios by default. I have also updated the bios to the latest version, but without success.

 

In addition, as already mentioned in other posts, I have already adjusted the following settings in the syslinux.cfg file as a test.

iommu=pt iommu=1

iommu=pt

iommu=1

intel_iommu=on

iommu=1 iommu=pt intel_iommu=on

 

Have any of you already had a similar problem or do you know what the problem could be? I would be very grateful for an answer :)

The OS is not seeing IOMMU groups for some reason. I guess this returns nothing when you run on a command line?

 

 find /sys/kernel/iommu_groups/ -type l

 

Have you tried enabling all options here below active processor cores? CPU support vt-d.

Have you raised a support call with the vendor?

So, as you thought find /sys/kernel/iommu_groups/ -type l does not return anything.

 

Yes, I have tried to activate everything in the bios under Active Processor Cores, This was also the default setting.

 

The Support could only assure me that this model supports VT-d, but could not provide any further specific information.
