Dtrain Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 (edited) Hi there, i am testing unraid right now ... The Idea is to have an "all in one PC" Hardware used: 1920x TR4 X399 Taichi ASROCK 128GB RAM 4x10 TB HDD (2 Parity 2 Data) 4x 500 GB SATA SSD as Cache 2x Intel Optane 280 GB one PCI Slot one U2 Slot 2x NVME 500GB My Requirements are pretty basic, but since i have bought all hardware to use within ESXI (cant get it to work with ESXI ) i am trying Unraid now need some assistance: Windows with NVME + Intel Optane and GPU Passthrough = only working for one Boot .. see Descriptions below .. Fedora with NVME + Intel Optane and GPU Passthrough = only working for one Boot .. see Descriptions below .. thanks to the outstanding Videos from Spaceinvader one ! and then the most confusing part is to a Setup Solarisih this is used a a rock solid Backup Box Solaris with NVME + Optane + LSI Controller Passtrough ( ZFS Box for BACK UP) = fail ? LSI IOMMU group 16:[1000:00c4] 09:00.0 Serial Attached SCSI controller: Broadcom / LSI SAS3224 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-3 (rev 01) Detail Info for IMMOU Groups etc could be found here... since it use the same Mobo. Thank u ! Edited July 13, 2019 by Dtrain Quote Link to comment
bastl Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 So your issue is, all the VMs are working fine except of a Solaris install with a NVMe + Optane + LSI controller passed through? Small hint, i don't have the same board as yours but my AsRock Fatality x399 also has a U.2 slot and if used, one of the 3 M.2 slots are disabled. And the way how the devices are split in it's own groups are depending on the BIOS versions as well as the settings you make in the BIOS and in Unraid itself (ACS Override). Are more detailed description on what isn't working might be good for people helping you. Errorlogs, screenshots or the diagnostics might help. And also noted, you have 2 NVME and 2 Optane. If you pass them through your first 2 VMs (Windows, Fedora) and the VMs are running, you can't use them in another VM. Quote Link to comment
Dtrain Posted July 13, 2019 Author Share Posted July 13, 2019 Hello bastl, thanks for ur help. The NVME and Optane are splitted thats not an issue at all, refering to spaceinvaders one Video. (As long the splitted devices are not running in different VM's at the same time ) The Second NVME + Optane i want to use exklusive for the Solaris VM. I could not any template for Solaris nor i am capeable as a noob to create my own template in unraid.... Quote Link to comment
bastl Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Have you tried to use a standard Linux template? At which point you're stuck? Starting the VM? Getting a output to VNC? No device to install it to? Installation errors? Quote Link to comment
Dtrain Posted July 13, 2019 Author Share Posted July 13, 2019 Getting slowly there using a Linux template,., No disk found ... ( of course as need to learn how to passthrough NVME + Optane) and then finaly the LSI ,, thanks Quote Link to comment
bastl Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Set your drive not as VirtIO. Try SCSI or SATA. I guess solaris don't have the VirtIO drivers. Quote Link to comment
Dtrain Posted July 13, 2019 Author Share Posted July 13, 2019 Realy a pain in the ass this is,,, cant get it to work, hopefully somebody will share his expierence here with me Quote Link to comment
bastl Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 If you don't give us detailed information what you already did and what exact problems you run into I doubt someone can help you. Quote Link to comment
Dtrain Posted July 13, 2019 Author Share Posted July 13, 2019 yes true... i am kind of lost now, as i do not want to interrrupt the parity build... / 60% done I am facing various problems with the VMs First of all Windows: Passtrough NVME + OPtane do work .... until the first reboot, then i am stucked within a loop (CD Rom Boot all the time) 1th thing i did, edit vm xml and added : <boot order='1'/> This did not help whereever i put the line.. several Errors Then after approx 30 Reboots i figured out that afer a reboot the config file of VM XML does not interact somehow with the KVM BIOS Emulation It is reverted each time to Boot from CD So far i press F2 to get into the VM Bios an there i can change Boot Order to NVME Any Idea how to Fix this ?

Dtrain Posted July 14, 2019 Author Share Posted July 14, 2019 The Windows VM is getting there... the Failure with the Boot Loop could be fixed with this help Now need to figure out how to passthrough my VGA Card (NVIDIA P6000) Quote Link to comment
bastl Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Check the following video and maybe search his channel. You will find a looooooot useful stuff there. Quote Link to comment
Dtrain Posted July 14, 2019 Author Share Posted July 14, 2019 The Error 43 is still there, can get it to work tried all methods shown in videos and even here in the Forums.
