First post. 

 

I am evaluating unraid for my needs and created a pfsense vm. I got pfsense installed but it shows no interfaces. Is there something glaring that I am missing?

 

info:

Version 6.8.2

 

lspci shows this:

04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82580 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 01)
04:00.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82580 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 01)
04:00.2 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82580 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 01)
04:00.3 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82580 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 01)
 

my boot cfg looks like this:

kernel /bzimage
append vfio-pci.ids=8086:150e,10de:1e07,10de:10f7,10de:1ad6,10de:1ad7 initrd=/bzroot

 

8086:150e is the 4 port Intel NIC (the rest are nvidia 2080ti)

 

Here is the config:

 

and in XML form (only hostdev part):

 <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'>
      <driver name='vfio'/>
      <source>
        <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x04' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/>
      </source>
      <alias name='hostdev0'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x03' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/>
    </hostdev>
    <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'>
      <driver name='vfio'/>
      <source>
        <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x04' slot='0x00' function='0x1'/>
      </source>
      <alias name='hostdev1'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x04' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/>
    </hostdev>
    <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'>
      <driver name='vfio'/>
      <source>
        <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x04' slot='0x00' function='0x2'/>
      </source>
      <alias name='hostdev2'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x05' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/>
    </hostdev>
    <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'>
      <driver name='vfio'/>
      <source>
        <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x04' slot='0x00' function='0x3'/>
      </source>
      <alias name='hostdev3'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x06' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/>
    </hostdev>

 

 

and finally from pfsense:

I had to end up using OpnSense to have it work nicely. You could also try that.

Ill make a note of that, Id rather see if I can get this working first. I added allow_usafe_interrupts:

kernel /bzimage
append vfio-pci.ids=8086:150e,10de:1e07,10de:10f7,10de:1ad6,10de:1ad7 vfio_iommu_type1.allow_unsafe_interrupts=1 initrd=/bzroot

 

and got 1 of the 4 nics to show up:

 

and here is the log from the vm:

Ok, I got it working.

 

setting the VM to use Q35-2.9 worked. (not sure if unsafe interrupts helped)

It didnt I dont think, and you dont need them on I dont believe. You will always be stuck with the old q35 version though and I found I had throughput issues on that (and high CPU use).

Edited March 6, 20206 yr by PeteAsking

oh boy... i have 1GB to the house and intended on using this to get as full throughput as possible. I have a RAX120 and it is unstable, but can reach 970Mbps. Ill do some tests, but i already downloaded opnsense just in case.

I am having a similar problem trying to passthrough an i350-T4 to OPNsense. I've tried various different Q35 versions (4.2, 2.9, 2.6, etc.) and each time when I boot up the installer it says "no interfaces detected." Checking pciconf -lv confirms that it's not seeing my NIC. Any suggestions? Here is my xml and some other info:

I've read this post on reddit, and the OP seems to have fixed his issue by "Setting the adapter type to vmxnet3 in the XML," but I am not sure where to do that. I'm scratching my head a bit here.

After doing some more research it seems there is a bug with FreeBSD and KVM/libvirt right now that causes issues with Q35. I used i440fx-4.2 and it detected my NICs.
