February 26, 20197 yr All, I started down this unraid road because I have been involved in home automation for a while and my home assistant and supporting components mainly on docker were scattered among sever old server. So I managed to get a PowerEdge T310 with Intel® Xeon® CPU X3430 @ 2.40GHz processor. It has 8GB of memory but I can probably up that if needed. What I am trying to figure out is if I can replace a desktop with a VM (Ubuntu or Windows 7) to a Radon graphics card. The PowerEdge has a built in VGA monitor I get a IOMMU error when I try to setup a VM . I googled the heck out of the error even tried some stuff in my syslinux.cfg but no luck. I am wondering if my motherboard supports passthrough to the pci ports, how do I find out. My goal here is to really figure out what this free server can do form me so I a know what I am dealing with. It does everything I need it to do by consolidating my dockers and file storage to one place. Now I want MORE! Any thoughts on this
February 26, 20197 yr Community Expert If you click on the Info option in the Unraid GUI then see if it says IOMMU is available. If so you should be able to do hardware pass through.
February 26, 20197 yr Author Well it says enabled. So that is good. What do I have to do to setup a ubuntu desktop and pass through to the Radeon. This is what I get internal error: qemu unexpectedly closed the monitor: 2019-02-26T16:28:54.945172Z qemu-system-x86_64: -device vfio-pci,host=04:00.0,id=hostdev0,bus=pci.4,addr=0x0: vfio error: 0000:04:00.0: failed to setup container for group 13: failed to set iommu for container: Operation not permitted Edited February 26, 20197 yr by Faspina
