mbc0 Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Hi, As the title suggests, I am trying to create a PFSense VM following Space Invader One's guide (which is excellent!) however, although I have a PCI intel 4 port nic it's IOMMU group is bundled with other devices (not sure why that would be??) so I enabled ACS and it split 2 ports into group 14 and another 2 ports into group 15 I am now unable to start the VM due to errors on the IOMMU groups 14 & 15 I added this line to my syslinux.cfg which made no difference so I am unsure where to go from here? vfio_iommu_type1.allow_unsafe_interrupts=1 I have attached my diagnostics file, hope someone can help! Thank you unraidserver2-diagnostics-20180703-0500.zip Link to comment
1812 Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 this is your error: Jul 3 04:59:53 unraidserver2 kernel: vfio-pci 0000:09:00.0: Device is ineligible for IOMMU domain attach due to platform RMRR requirement. Contact your platform vendor. Please see the proliant/hp link in my sig and find the section regarding rmrr errors. *note- I haven't seen this error occur with a network card before, normally GPUs. So the fix may just be bios update/settings. Link to comment

Many thanks for your input! you say the above is my error but this is what I get when starting the VM internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: 2018-07-03T22:25:21.198374Z qemu-system-x86_64: -device vfio-pci,host=0a:00.1,id=hostdev0,bus=pci.2,addr=0x0: vfio error: 0000:0a:00.1: failed to setup container for group 15: failed to set iommu for container: Operation not permitted I am not having much luck with that thread on rmrr errors ? maybe this card is just not going to work?

mbc0 Posted July 3, 2018 Author Share Posted July 3, 2018 I Just tried with another dual nic I had lying around and get the same issue.. after enabling ACS and stubbing the device to make it available to the VM I get this error on startup of the VM internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: 2018-07-03T23:01:20.098013Z qemu-system-x86_64: -device vfio-pci,host=07:00.0,id=hostdev0,bus=pci.2,addr=0x0: vfio error: 0000:07:00.0: failed to setup container for group 11: failed to set iommu for container: Operation not permitted Is this just a Proliant Gen8 issue? I updated to the latest bios as advised but still no difference. Just read through your proliant thread, sorry but I should have posted in there but to be honest it would not make a difference by the looks of thingsas others have simular unresolved issues it would seem that the Gen8 Microserver is not a good solution for the pfsense vm setup to I am going to purchase some new hardware and retire the HP back to the loft for another day! Thanks for your help all the same Link to comment

That is the error that pops up on the screen. The RMRR error which occurs in the logs is the reason why it can't set the container. 1 hour ago, mbc0 said: Is this just a Proliant Gen8 issue? I updated to prthe latest bios as advised but still no difference. It's an HP proliant issue across several generations. Hopefully in the very near future, the RMRR issue will be resolved. The proxmox users found a way to patch out the RMRR error and I'm hoping it will be patched in unRaid soon a well. Even if it takes a one-off version. Link to comment
