Unable to dedicate LAN card to pfSense

Featured Replies

Hi fellow Unraid forum members,

 

Recently I tried to install a pfSense VM on my server. No matter what I try I can't seems to add the 4 port intel gigabit card to my VM. I had a pfSense VM running until a few months back when I had to downgrade my server to an old desktop that was lacking the cores. Now I have 4 cores again but I can't set up the VM following Space invader's tutorial...

 

I use the below settings.

This is the screenshot of the nic and iommu grouping.

And this is what I see when I try to set up the VM...

Any help would be appreciated.

Addingtower-diagnostics-20190801-2021.zip the diagnostics.zip if anyone can help. Does anyone know where can I download earlier versions of Unraid? From late 2018...for testing.

Looking at your diagnostics I found this in your syslog:

 

Jul 31 00:25:42 Tower kernel: vfio-pci: probe of 0000:01:00.0 failed with error -22
Jul 31 00:25:42 Tower kernel: vfio-pci: probe of 0000:01:00.1 failed with error -22
Jul 31 00:25:42 Tower kernel: vfio-pci: probe of 0000:01:00.2 failed with error -22
Jul 31 00:25:42 Tower kernel: vfio-pci: probe of 0000:01:00.3 failed with error -22

I also can't find anything in the iommu_groups.txt in the diagnostics, so looks like you haven't enabled iommu (vt-d) in the bios. What does it says after iommu if you click the Info button in the webgui?

The problem with this that I'm having difficulties accessing the bios on the mobo... :( (sadface lvl99...) this is a know issue with some of the X8SIL boards. I need to figure this one out somehow.

Indeed I do. The problem is now on the hardware layer. I think I need to order a new mobo...

  • 9 months later...

I got the same NIC in R710. I do have IOMMU enbled and i can get NIC added to the VM, but when i start pfsense it cannot find any NIC. I tried both with onboard broadcom NIC and this Intel nic, but still cannot make it work. Please help
