December 2, 201411 yr Hey guys so i currently have Esxi 5.5U2 running specs are as follows: Mobo: Asus P7P55WS Cpu: Xeon X3440 Ram: 8gb crucial Ssd: Raid 0 128gb Vertex 4's (cache drive) Hdd's: 5 x 3tb WD Reds Hdd: WD 250gb Blue - Datastore drive psu: Corsair TX750 Case: Norco 4020 Nic: Brocade cna 1020 10GB - Setup in Esxi with a vm Network to Unraid using Vmxnet3 Raid card: Silicon Image 3114 - For the Esxi Datastore IBM M1015 flashed to Lsi-9211-IR-8I I have passed thru the 6 ports on my motherboard to the VM for unraid My main issue is that i am unable to allocate more than 4GB of ram to the VM. I get all kinds of errors when doing so. This started after I enabled passthru. I get this message: Powering on the virtual machine fails with the error: Invalid memory setting for FPT: memory reservation (sched.mem.min) should be equal to memsize(xxxx) (2002779) So i tried setting the memory for the VM in MB and then changing the reservation for to match exactly in the settings. After doing that i get this error The Execute Storage vMotion for Storage DRS task fails with the error: The available Memory resources in the parent resource pool are insufficient for the operation (2070921) I have no idea where to go from here. I dont think i need more than 4GB of ram when running just the Unraid without Xen but just annoying that im not able to allocate more to it. Any ideas?
December 2, 201411 yr The errors you are getting are VMware specific and I don't have insights on those. Maybe some of our other VMware users can chime in.

Ive posted here and over at vmware to see if i can narrow down the issue, But nothing i have read or tried has worked. Appreciate you at least taking a look
