That makes sense on the audio. Do you mind sharing the code to prevent unRAID to use the audio controller that you are checking as a USB audio device? (or is it the xen-pciback.hide= code?)

The PCI IDs in my syslinux.config is for the audio controller itself, not for the USB audio device.

For whatever reason when I try to pass my controllers, the VM won't load. They are in their own IOMMU groups and everything. I posted here about it.

I do have one additional controller on my motherboard, but it is the only controller with USB2 ports so I don't want to pass it through even if I could since I'd prefer for my unRAID USB flash drive to be on a USB2 port.

I have kinda similar issue with one of the other USB controllers and an extra PCI card like you. The FLR issue should be fixed in newer kernels. Unraid 6.9 should come with a fix for this.

Apologies for jumping in on this topic. I'm slowly losing my mind with my TRX40 board (AS Rock TRX40 Creator) and 3960x combo. 

I want to be able to pass through a GPU (The only one in the system), a USB Controller, NVME, and the onboard sound. Every time I tried to start the VM it killed unRaid to the point of a hard reboot. It's also killed the flash drive twice, requiring a rebuild.

 

Things I've worked out so far by trial and error and lots of VM config tests:

1) The original GPU (Vega 56) just wasn't having it. Swapping to a RX580 works. 

2) Passing through the NVME controller using the VFIO plugin works fine 

3) As soon as I try pass through either the sound or the USB controller it kills everything. With the USB I've tired isolating the group with the USB and also the non-essential instrumentation and then passing through (with no sound). Kills unRaid.

4) I tried passing through just the sound, both under soundcard without using the plugin, and also using the plugin. Kills unRaid.

 

Where am I going wrong?!

As I said earlier, I also have issues similiar to yours, trying to passthrough the onboard audio controller. Unraid will kinda freeze and I have to reset the server. That was the first issue i stumbled across when I got my TRX40. Issues with the sound card are fixed for me since I noticed the sound card itself is split into 2 USB audio devices which I'am able to passthrough to different VMs and can run them both at the same time.

 

GPU passthrough never was an issue for me. 2 GPUs for 2 VMs, rock stable from day one.

 

Onboard USB Controller passthrough showed similiar issues with Unraid becoming unresponsible. But not all controllers on my board. I think one of the two Starship ones caused the issues for me. The 3.1 controller passes through fine and is the only one I use and need. The FLR warning/error produced by the other controller will be fixed with newer linux kernels. Maybe check the Unraid 6.9 beta and test it or use a FLR patched Kernel. I think there is a custom kernel in one of the unraid forums which include the FLR patch and the vega patch.

I had the same issue from a USB and Audio device perspective.

 

Have you tried just using the VM checkboxes for USB devices vs trying to pass through an entire USB controller?

 

I would start there and if that works then try the audio and once you launch the VM, look at the live log file and see what error you're getting.

Thanks! This is very interesting. I'll do the same "blocking out".

 

Sadly I'm kinda stuck with these 2 Starship USB controllers that won't pass. I will go ahead and try the RC version of unRAID though as that sounds interesting for the FLR issues. I realize a USB card might work, but I really want to save my PCI-E slots for graphics.

 

Well that was easy. I went to the Beta unRAID 6.9 and the USB controller passed without any issues so easily. Wow!

 

and thanks again!

 

Now time to add another graphic card and for VM #2

I did my testing with the Asus Zenith II Alpha. I used the two x16 slots. No overrides or unsafe interrupts. I dumped the bios files in a bare metal windows installation and removed the header from the ROM files with HxD.

Okay got passthrough working on the second GPU... i found faulty PCIe power cables.....

Got everything working now - thanks for your help. I am running beta though.

@bastl Sorry I didn't twig straight away you're on a different mobo. I don't have the equivalent controller to pass through sadly. 

 

So experimentation has show that 6.9 beta solves all issues, but I'm a bit twitchy about running a beta on my main server. I've got a PCIE USB card landing today that I'll try and maybe use as a temporary solution until 6.9 stable is released.

Great info thread (esp since I dont have a TRX40 board yet!). 

 

Re the two Matisse USB controllers with one only able to reset. Presumably that means unRAID USB on the OTHER Matisse one but all other controllers CAN be passed through?

 

Also (sorry not run UnRAID for a year or more) is this FLR thing done yet? 


Thanks guys.. Wondering whether to splurge for a 24C TR for 3 VMs with GPUs 🙂

Forgot all about this thread! haha.

 

I just swapped around the usb's that i pass through the other day without any issues on my system, so now thinking about it i don't think it's a issue anymore.

Yeah do it get one! beast chip's so many threads haha! although you never have enough just keep using them. 😂

I just recently setup  a system on the 3970x with 3 VMs (2 with pass-through graphics) and to be honest although I spent a couple days troubleshooting and figuring out how to pass things through, it's actually pretty easy to do and would only take me a couple hours if I had to start from scratch. I knew very little about VMs prior which also caused research to take me some time. unRAID 6.9 fixed one specific issue I was having and I wouldn't recommend trying without that although in many setups it likely would work but just with more manual tweaking. The biggest issue you'll have with 3 VMs is PCIe slots and their spacing with the motherboards but PCIe extender cables would easily solve that and I can't think of any other issues you might have. I used the Gigabyte TRX40 Aorus Master and would recommend it. Easy to pass at least 2 different sets of USBs to VMS, easy  to pass both separate on-board audio outputs. Easy to pass graphics. Easy to pass NVME ports.

Looks to me very much like ALL TRx40 boards have 2 Starship and 2 Matisse (same group but can be separated) controllers, plus some ALSO have Asmedia controllers. So min 4, poss 5 passable controllers. So one for unRAID, and 3 or 4 for VMs. I can work out how to get 3 diff GPUs ;-)   

 

Might splurge after Xmas 🙂
