Hi, can't believe the progress made in UnRAID since I migrated to WHS2011 about a year ago.  Am looking to migrate back  :-[ Yeah, I know, grass is always greener....

 

Apart from some messing around with VirtualBox in Windows I'm new to all this virtualisation business so please forgive the wall of text as I wanted to put all my steps down so I others could follow the ramblings of my disturbed mind!

 

Managed to get a Win7VM up and running using dmacias' excellent plugin, here is the xml file that was created.

I want to passthough my PCI-E Quad Tuner DVB-T2 card which is a TBS6285, the alternative is to use the TVHeadEnd plugin which I used before but it is a bit of a pain bothering piotrasd for media builds with TBS drivers every time there's a new release!

 

Here's the output of lspci -knn without my TV Card installed in the machine.

Once installed I get this output.

So if I'm correct in my assumptions that means that these two entries are the ones I need to be looking at.

 

00:1c.4 PCI bridge [0604]: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 5 [8086:1e18] (rev c4)
        Kernel driver in use: pcieport
02:00.0 Multimedia controller [0480]: Philips Semiconductors SAA7160 [1131:7160] (rev 02)
        Subsystem: Device [6285:0001]

 

Editing my go file to this should allow for passthrough of the slot right?

 

#!/bin/bash
# Start the Management Utility
/usr/local/sbin/emhttp &

#bindpci
/usr/local/sbin/vfio-bind 0000:00:1c.4

 

This then give me  these lines when I run lspci -knn so my PCI-E slot is using the virtuo driver right?

 

00:1c.4 PCI bridge [0604]: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 5 [8086:1e18] (rev c4)
        Kernel driver in use: vfio-pci
02:00.0 Multimedia controller [0480]: Philips Semiconductors SAA7160 [1131:7160] (rev 02)
        Subsystem: Device [6285:0001]

 

Now am I correct in thinking I now need to add something along the lines of this to my VM xml file?

<qemu:commandline>
<qemu:arg value='-device'/>
    <qemu:arg value='vfio-pci,host=00:1c.4,bus=pcie.0'/>
</qemu:commandline>

 

However once I've done all that, (I edited the xml file for the VM I'd already created rather than create a new one - if that's relevant) but nothing appears in device manager within Windows to indicate that my Tuner card is present.

 

If someone could point out whereabouts I'm going wrong I'd be most grateful.

 

EDIT:  It would appear that when I edit the xml file with the VM stopped the changes aren't being saved.

Just on a sidenote: If you want tvheadend you could also setup an ubuntu VM and install tvheadends repository. Should be more compatible than windows.

 

I'm not really too bothered what OS or TV Backend I run, from reading around I think my TV card has a few problems in Linux depending on the kernel as the drivers aren't built in, what I intend to do is get a VM up and running then start playing around with different options.  Have to say though the Argus TV tuner is rock solid, keep coming back to it since around 2009 I think.

So if I'm correct in my assumptions that means that these two entries are the ones I need to be looking at.

 

00:1c.4 PCI bridge [0604]: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 5 [8086:1e18] (rev c4)
        Kernel driver in use: pcieport
02:00.0 Multimedia controller [0480]: Philips Semiconductors SAA7160 [1131:7160] (rev 02)
        Subsystem: Device [6285:0001]

 

Editing my go file to this should allow for passthrough of the slot right?

 

#!/bin/bash
# Start the Management Utility
/usr/local/sbin/emhttp &

#bindpci
/usr/local/sbin/vfio-bind 0000:00:1c.4

 

This then give me  these lines when I run lspci -knn so my PCI-E slot is using the virtuo driver right?

 

00:1c.4 PCI bridge [0604]: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 5 [8086:1e18] (rev c4)
        Kernel driver in use: vfio-pci
02:00.0 Multimedia controller [0480]: Philips Semiconductors SAA7160 [1131:7160] (rev 02)
        Subsystem: Device [6285:0001]

 

Now am I correct in thinking I now need to add something along the lines of this to my VM xml file?

<qemu:commandline>
<qemu:arg value='-device'/>
    <qemu:arg value='vfio-pci,host=00:1c.4,bus=pcie.0'/>
</qemu:commandline>

 

However once I've done all that, (I edited the xml file for the VM I'd already created rather than create a new one - if that's relevant) but nothing appears in device manager within Windows to indicate that my Tuner card is present.

 

If someone could point out whereabouts I'm going wrong I'd be most grateful.

 

EDIT:  It would appear that when I edit the xml file with the VM stopped the changes aren't being saved. 

You also need to add this to the top of your xml

<domain type='kvm' xmlns:qemu='http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/qemu/1.0'>

Your xml is being saved but libvirt removes invalid syntax.

Thanks, I'll give it a try as soon as the wife stops watching TV.  Never would have got there without that pointer. Much appreciated for the help and all your work with the plugin dmacias.

With debugging running got the following error code:

Any ideas?  Still finding my feet here a bit...

 

EDIT: Do I need to add some lines to my syslinux.cfg

 

Tried

append intel_iommu=on vfio_iommu_type1.allow_unsafe_interrupts=1 pcie_acs_override=downstream initrd=/bzroot

 

Same error thrown up

OK, so like the title said I'm a novice,

 

Tried a few things to sort this out, changing a variable at a time and finally managed to see my card in Windows 7.

 

I think where I was going wrong was in a couple of areas.

 

Turns out this was the config that managed to get the card seen in Windows for anyone else who is trying to achieve a similar thing.

 

My go file

#!/bin/bash
# Start the Management Utility
/usr/local/sbin/emhttp &

#bindpci
/usr/local/sbin/vfio-bind 0000:00:1c.4
/usr/local/sbin/vfio-bind 0000:02:00.0

 

My syslinux.cfg {Relevant bit only)

label unRAID OS
  menu default
  kernel /bzimage
  append intel_iommu=on pcie_acs_override=downstream initrd=/bzroot

Haven't yet tried it for stability but at least I can see it in Windows!  :D

 

I think I was trying to pass the pci-e slot through to windows not the actual device, then I tried with both the slot and device, which also didn't work.  In the end loading the vfio-pci driver to both slot and device and then only passing through the device in the xml seemed to crack it.

Successfully got my TBS 6285 drivers installed and Argus TV setup, connected to Needo's MariaDB Docker and recorded and streamed live TV to a client on the LAN using a Kodi Frontend. 

 

Very impressed with this KVM virtualisation indeed.

 

Will have to set it up and run for longer to test for stability properly but so far so good.
