bungee91 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 So I thought, what the hell, lets try out passing a GPU again, as previously (around beta 9 or so) I had issues, and other annoyances, enough to just give up (others have shared these experiences). So anyhow I have 2 GPU's that I could pass, an AMD 5450, and an Nvidia GeForce210. I have a Windows 8.1 x64 Pro VM that works very well, has a tuner and NIC passed through, I use VNC and RDP to access (I have some small issues with the tuner, but not a show stopper). Shutdown that VM and plan to use it's existing installed image for trying out GPU pass-through. I also completely power off/on (as I am still passing the tuner and NIC in all these GPU passing attempts, and I have to do that for the tuner if I completely shutdown the VM). I create a new VM using the vm manager, point it to W8.1 existing installed image, i440fx-2.3, SeaBios, assign the HD5450, manually add back in tuner and NIC, and we're booting up things are working well. My console screen is now locked up (known issue with SeaBios and pass through, no biggie). Install Catayst drivers, needs to reboot.....nope...server locked up, no network access, console (as mentioned) is dead... Hard shutdown.. Ok, it happens, let's try now with the Geforce 210. New VM setup, point to w8.1x64 existing installed image, Hyper V is turned off (I used the VM manager, does it automatically) install Nvidia drivers... During this time Windows has already given it some driver automatically, no biggie.. Nvidia install completes, I hear an eject sound, look in device manager, something like "driver for device stopped etc..." yellow exclamation, screen is still outputting at 1080p. Either way, need to reboot....same....nothing, black screen... locked up...hard reboot... You could ask for logs, etc... it would likely have nothing as the hard lock-up isn't going to have it write much. I can pass through a NIC, tuner, USB devices, etc... with minimal issues. GPU's work, however without being able to reboot and it causing the server to completely lock (or so it seems, I have no way of accessing it) it is in turn a failure, and unusable. So, I have to know, are people passing through GPU's, and it works well enough (like you can reboot)? Maybe these cards just suck, IDK, they are low power, and IMHO perfect for this use-case (basic video out with HDMI for HTPC uses). I could attempt OVMF, however I would need to do a complete new install of 8.1, and as of now I don't want to attempt that. Just thought "hey, would be cool to shut down that dedicated HTPC now that my server does my tuner recording, that'd be awesome..." Nope. Bios is as new as it gets, MB is AsRock Z97-Extreme4, nothing else special going on... Some info on the AMD setup (GPU+Audio): 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

jonp Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 There are definitely some bad hardware combinations (GPU, processor, motherboard) that can lead to exactly what you're experiencing. I would be very surprised if either of those devices worked with OVMF though, as they seem a bit older. One thing you can do with the HD5450 is to NOT pass through the HDMI audio through the GPU. I know that's probably not ideal, but I know there have been some issues with certain AMD cards and pass through of the audio device. You could pass through on-board audio instead. The NVIDIA card could be in a similar situation, but again, being such an old card, it'd be difficult to diagnose. The best tips for you to try are those I've put in the wiki, so I won't bother reiterating them here: http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/UnRAID_Manual_6#Assigning_Graphics_Devices_to_Virtual_Machines_.28GPU_Pass_Through.29 Quote Link to comment
bungee91 Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share Posted June 18, 2015 I'll attempt some of the tips, and I've definitely looked through the wiki prior to now. Not saying it'd be identical by any means, however you've noted success with a 5450, so I wouldn't think it'd be that difficult to achieve. Mine for whatever reason identifies as a 5430, however it's within the same family of GPU so I doubt it matters much. Complete lockup plus parity check is no fun to do repeatedly!
