March 27, 201610 yr Will Unraid pass through Firewire devices? I have a firewire card that I need to use for one of my Windows applications and before I make the dive to to switch to unraid, I need to make sure this is at least possible.
March 27, 201610 yr Unless someone here have the same card as you (You didn't supply the model) and have tested it, there is no way to tell if it's going to work or not. You could use the trail version to see if it's possible yourself if no one knows.
March 27, 201610 yr Author How can I test? I'm new to device pass through for VM's. Isn't there some kind of settings I'll have to set for the VM to test?
March 27, 201610 yr Read this link first http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/UnRAID_6/VM_Management Then you can read and follow this guide to pass through your FireWire card https://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=36768.0

Read through both. 2nd link did not have Firewire, but I'm assuming I'd look up the IOMMU groups for the card and I'd have to make sure it isn't apart of the unRAID host IOMMU group, correct?
March 30, 201610 yr You basically just pass it through like a GPU using the hostdev tag in point 11b in the second link. The card needs to be in it's own iommu group for you to pass it through.
