chris_netsmart Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Having issues, I have following the post from Brnson, but I think I am missing something. here are the steps I followed On 7/30/2019 at 12:51 PM, Benson said: Step almost the same, but I think best should be prepare unraid USB stick first then unplug it before prepare Proxmox. Below are some detail 1. Unplug well prepare Unraid USB, best ( not must ) confirm it can boot in UEFI mode. 2. Install Proxmox to harddisk, make IOMMU enable. 3. Replug Unraid USB 4. Create VM 4a. Tweak ( Some step may not necessary ) - Click CD/DVD drive, remove it - Click Hard Disk, detach and remove it - Add phyical disk controller and physical Unraid USB stick 4b. Tweak - Edit boot order, only retain CD-ROM in boot device_1 That's all. so the steps I have takes. I have created a Test UNRAID USB pen drive. - all works with no issues with a 4TB Hard Drive for storage. I then installed Proxmox onto a 1TB HD. so far so good. then I followed Bensons steps and here is where the fun starts. I will post each step. in the hope someone will see my mistake. First I check the I have IOMMU Groups then I created the VM I did't choose of OS as I was thinking that as I am passthrough my Unraid Pen drive, I will not need to set this up working my way through and it build OK then I when through and remvoe the CDROM and Added the Unraid Pen Drive. when adding the PCI Controllor I am getting the following -- No Ideal How to resovlve this at the moment then I confirm my boot order but when I start my VM, then I am getting this TASK ERROR: KVM virtualisation configured, but not available. Either disable in VM configuration or enable in BIOS. and here is my Hard Spec Quote Link to comment
chris_netsmart Posted August 1, 2019 Author Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) I found this site, and through that it might help with the below referance, but I am sad to report that it didn't " GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet amd_iommu=on" https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Pci_passthrough#Verify_IOMMU_isolation Edited August 1, 2019 by chris_netsmart Quote Link to comment
Vr2Io Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) You try in new B450 platform 1st don't add PCIe device 18:00.0 it is groups 12 with other devices ( SATA controller ? If it is a controller which connect PVE harddisk then you can't passthrough it ) 2nd don't add PCIe device 1f:00.0, it is groups 13, ( GPU ? ) 3rd boot order change to CD-ROM as device_1, 2 & 3 set to none 4th you haven't show you add Unraid USB or not Then check Unraid USB boot or not, if negative, screen dump VNC ( console ) and final VM profile and IOMMU device name.

chris_netsmart Posted August 1, 2019 Author Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) I know I did something silly. thanks benson, I have gone through and completed steps 1, 2 and 3. I have also recheck my USB and now when I run the VM, I am getting this error () Task viewer: VM/CT 100 - Console OutputStatus Stop VM 100 not running TASK ERROR: Failed to run vncproxy. my VM Set up. bit confused, what do you mean by IOMMU device name Edited August 1, 2019 by chris_netsmart Quote Link to comment
Vr2Io Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) ** Pls reboot physical machine first, because you have passthrough the GPU ** After start the VM, click "hardware" tab then back to "console" tab again and check. Pls also double check in BIOS, virtualisation already enable. And, not relate the vncproxy error, pls remove EFI disk, and disable Network device's firewall . 3 hours ago, chris_netsmart said: bit confused, what do you mean by IOMMU device name Pls screen capture as below for ref. too Edited August 1, 2019 by Benson Quote Link to comment
chris_netsmart Posted August 1, 2019 Author Share Posted August 1, 2019 ok I done as request and here is a snip shot of my VM I have then powerup up my VM and I got the following screenshots and lastly can you confirm which IOMMU I should choose Quote Link to comment
Vr2Io Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) VM can start, then remain booting issue, why "Unuses disk" & "Hard disk" still there ?? And don't know why showing "USBest Technology ......" ( Unraid USB ? ) not found, pls reconfirm the USB port haven't change. Edited August 1, 2019 by Benson Quote Link to comment
chris_netsmart Posted August 1, 2019 Author Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) my mistake still getting the same issue, as above. it looks like it can't see the USB Device "Unraid Pen Drive" Edited August 1, 2019 by chris_netsmart Quote Link to comment

chris_netsmart Posted August 1, 2019 Author Share Posted August 1, 2019 confused ? 3 minutes ago, Benson said: This will be last, you shoud success bootup Unraid USB first. would it be easier if I give you access to my workstation, via Team Viewer ? Quote Link to comment

chris_netsmart Posted August 1, 2019 Author Share Posted August 1, 2019 no , same issue. it it tries to find a pxe boot, then goes to the shell prompt Quote Link to comment
Vr2Io Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) OK, let me think. Unraid USB stick UEFI boot mode enable ? or your may set VM to SeaBIOS/i440fx and try. Edited August 1, 2019 by Benson Quote Link to comment
chris_netsmart Posted August 1, 2019 Author Share Posted August 1, 2019 ok tried setting the machine to I440FX - the same when to BIOS to change to above suggestion, and saw this Quote Link to comment
chris_netsmart Posted August 1, 2019 Author Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) changed to SeaBios, and it looks like it is booting into Unraid ok we have Booted into Unraid with no issues, but there are no hard drivers or M.2 SSD Edited August 1, 2019 by chris_netsmart Quote Link to comment

You won't found my VM config need add EFI disk too. Edited August 1, 2019 by Benson Quote Link to comment
chris_netsmart Posted August 1, 2019 Author Share Posted August 1, 2019 any ideals on why no HD's Quote Link to comment
Vr2Io Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) 6 minutes ago, chris_netsmart said: changed to SeaBios, and it looks like it is booting into Unraid OK good, anyway you should take more care on all mention step, many uncessary fault. Last, you just need passthrough the disk controller ( Unarid disk which connect, not include PVE disk ), but the controller must in standalone groups. i.e. FCH SATA controller, it is standalone in group18 ( But I never try that succes or not ) Edited August 1, 2019 by Benson Quote Link to comment
chris_netsmart Posted August 1, 2019 Author Share Posted August 1, 2019 ok, so for example I will need to get my GeForce GTX into it's only group. and also for any SATA controllors, like the on board ports Quote Link to comment

chris_netsmart Posted August 1, 2019 Author Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) ok thanks. I will play around with this evening. and see how far I get. thanks for your help Edited August 1, 2019 by chris_netsmart Quote Link to comment
jaddel Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 How did you mange to force Proxmox to usb boot at first? The only workaround for me to boot Unraid at the moment is, hit esc during boot and manually select usb boot. Quote Link to comment
Vr2Io Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 You can edit VM XML and add "boot order" line under the USB Quote Link to comment

The only workaround for me to boot Unraid at the moment is, hit esc during boot and manually select usb boot. Found a solution: Download Plop Boot loader: https://www.plop.at/en/plopkexec/download.html Extract the .iso from the package. Upload it to Proxmox isos : https://sumguy.com/proxmox-iso-upload-method/ Add IDE CDROM to your VM with the iso. Quote Link to comment
