I followed the wiki to virtualize my existing PC and I am getting an error trying to start it:

 

internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: 2016-04-18T19:22:58.387426Z qemu-system-x86_64: -device vfio-pci,host=06:00.0,id=hostdev0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6: vfio: error, group 1 is not viable, please ensure all devices within the iommu_group are bound to their vfio bus driver.

I dug around on the forum for similar issues. I tried to use an absolute path and not a disk share. Didn't work. I looked at my iommu_group setting but don't know what do make of it. Any ideas?

You have to enable the ACS override in Settings --> VM manager.

The problem is that your device you are passing through is in an iommu group with other devices.

I forgot to mention, I did read that but my video card shows up under PCI devices, so I'm not sure if that's the issue. That and my error was a little different than the post I was looking at that mentioned that. I'm not at home to try the override settings but I'll post with the results. Thanks.

The ACS override is to separate each device into their own iommu groups, so it's not related to showing up or not in the PCI device list.

Ok, well, VM is started now but now what? How do I view it? Nothing is on the monitor connected to the server. What am I missing? Might there be a GPU issue? My video card is GeForce GTX 560 and I have it set to passthru.

 

Here's my VM log:

Does the VM work with VNC for video?

I don't know how to set that up for unraid.

VNC is built in under the vm menu (where you start, stop, edit etc). It's the topmost entey and clicking on it will invoke a connection via vnc to your vm.

I have no such option in my menu. I'm not sure why.

 

EDIT: Ah, nevermind. I Figured that part out.

 

The VNC output shows this:

switch your VM install from OVMF to SeaBios perhaps?

I thought about that but it was greyed out. I redid it with seabios and it is booting, albeit very slowly. I need to assign, and buy, more RAM. Thank you all.

I thought about that but how do I do it? The VM is stopped but the option to change is greyed out.

You can't change it without creating a new VM

Yes, I figured that out eventually. Thank you everyone.
