I'm a fairly new user in Unraid. I have a RTX3060 in my Setup and use it in different Dockercontainers without issues (Ollama & Plex). I would like to build up a Win11 VM with Sunshine for gaming. But i have some trouble setting up the VM with passingthrough the GPU. As soon as i choose the GPU (and also Audio) and want to start up the VM, whole Unraid freezes up and i have to force shutdown the system and reboot it.. I tried to read the logs, but as far as i see, the logs are only available from after the reboot..

As soon as i bind the GPU in System Devices to the VFIO, it then works. But for me that's not really an option, since i then can not use it for Docker. Are there any other options, to use the GPU inside a VM in such cases?

not really ;)

either or ... but not simultan.

what you would need is vgpu support (sr-iov), which is not handled here as there are special licence requirements from Nvidia therefore.

so either running in docker/s OR in a single VM exclusiv ... no way around this.

or setup your dockers to stop while running the VM (and also start Unraid complete headless, there are howto's ... if the 3060 is your only GPU and there is no iGPU at least), then you dont bind to vfio the card, but the sys woul dalso crash once the VM starts while a docker would use it ... as mentioned, either ... or ... ;)
