Need some help, I am trying to add a windows VM in docker and I keep getting an error. I ran it through AI and this is what it is telling me.

 

"The error you're encountering suggests that QEMU is attempting to start a virtual machine with PCI passthrough for a device (0000:01:00.1), but it fails because the IOMMU group that the device belongs to is not viable for passthrough. This usually means that other devices in the same IOMMU group are not bound to the vfio-pci driver, which is a requirement for successful passthrough."

 

I have no clue how to resolve this, and I keep getting suggestions to run scripts to bind it to vfio-pci driver, but that is over my head.

 

If anyone has a quick and easy explanation for the Linux-Impaired that would be awesome.

Thanks!

You have no added the video part of the card.

You need to have both 01:00.0 and 01:00.1 allocated to the VM as the whole IOMMU group needs to be passed thru to the VM.

 

You can add the graphics part as a 2nd GPU, currently you just have a virtual one.
