I am working on setting up a Windows 10 VM on an HP Proliant DL380 G5.

 

My issue is that no graphics cards show up as options with which to provision the VM.
 

I have perused the BIOS options on this device and enabled the intel virtualization option.

According to to unRAID's system info popup, I have enabled HVM, but IOMMU is 'disabled'.

 

I have been trying video cards, and so far I have not been able to see a single one as an option to use (in the VM settings).

 

Things I have tried:

• Single cards, a variety of cards, both AMD and NVidia
• Two cards at once, a variety of parings
• Different orders in the slots
• Monitor attached and monitor not attached

 

(Most of these cards are older, as that is what I have on hand.)

Can someone provide some guidance in getting one of these available for use?

The card I'd like to use is an ATI Radeon 3600 Series.

I may have found the root of my issues.

This thread on serverfault implies that the hardware I am using has no support at all for PCI passthrough.

 

Does this mean there is absolutely no way to show a VM's output on a connected monitor?

 

 

as far as i know, passthrough  is unsupported on that gen.

 

no passthrough, no gpu to monitor.

 

 

Thank you for the information.

 

Is there up-to-date hardware recommendations anywhere? 9The wiki appears to be outdated.)

 

I am inclined to purchase a motherboard that would support virtualization, but I am not sure how to evaluate products for that.

best and possibly easiest way is to post a new thread asking for build suggestions. list your budget and goals. you'll get answers most likely based on what others are currently using or have used.
