xxnumbxx Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I am running unraid 6.8.3 on an asus b85m-e. I am trying to stub an extra NIC so that I can run Pfsense. I have followed spaceinvaders videos, read multiple different posts on forums and I cannot get the NIC to show up in my VM (other pci devices). I got my device id from tools->system Devices (I did notice there are no IOMMU groups in my list like the video) not sure if this is the reason. Board not support this? Next I selected my flash drive and added the (append vfio-pci.ids=10ec:8169 initrd=/bzroot), rebooted, the network card still shows up in my network list and I cannot add to VM. I have tried everything I can think of. Am I doing something wrong? Does my board not support this? I noticed the video is a couple years old, is it done differently in 6.8.3? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment
xxnumbxx Posted April 6, 2020 Author Share Posted April 6, 2020 It appears to be a problem with my Motherboard. Guessing not compatible? I swapped out an older board with a gen1 i7 and I am able to stub NIC's using pci-stub.ids=****. I searched through bios and i'm just not finding anything I would have incorrect. Guess I am going to have to go shopping for a new board,cpu. Quote Link to comment

You need to Google ways to enable IOMMU. It might be something in the BIOS that you enable, or it might be adding "iommu=pt" to the append line, or you might need to enable "unsafe interrupts" (enable Help on Settings -> VM Manager). Or perhaps your hardware doesn't support it. Then, see the release notes for Unraid 7 that explain a different way of "hiding" devices from Unraid so they are available for passthru: Quote Link to comment
