May 30, 20206 yr Hi, So I bought a 2nd Dell HBA to expand the storage capacity (as using a new case now). I stuck with the same model that I have already which appreciate need to apply a tape mod to work with my motherboard but that's fine. On adding the 2nd card have has some strange problems.. When adding it something strange happens... When I boot Unraid all seems to work fine but will not launch the Windows VM automatically. Logging into the WebGUI the format theme is different than what I had set. All the drives appear fine however VMs, Dockers etc are not available and when trying to setup have error messages. Shutdown, remove the card..all works fine again (minus the new drives not being available). Any ideas? media-diagnostics-20200530-1102.zip Edited May 30, 20206 yr by djglenn File attached
May 30, 20206 yr Did your IOMMU grouping change and/or the ID's you're stubbing change when the new controller is installed?
May 30, 20206 yr Author Hi Squid, IOMMU grouping and IDs identical on both with exception with the additional card has 2 additional lines.. one for SAS controller, the other and additional PCI bridge (both in their own individual groups). One other thing I have noticed with the new card added I get an error that the UPS cannot be detected (via USB). Without it it's detected fine.. Could it be interfering with the USB?

If / when you try and start the VM manually does it start or return a pop up error So on the Web GUI the VM and Docker tabs are not visible and when I go to settings to enable VMs it says : Warning: parse_ini_file(/boot/config/domain.cfg): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.vm.manager/include/libvirt_helpers.php on line 466 Strange thing is the VM actually booted this time to screen (GPU pass through)... Also, the Unraid USB is visible on Windows File Manager where as on a normal working boot it's not.. Edited May 30, 20206 yr by djglenn

May 30, 20206 yr Community Expert Check the VM hardware pass-trough you're likely passing-trough a USB controller and because of the new HBA it's changing its ID, making you passthrough the wrong USB controller, where the flash drive is.
May 30, 20206 yr Author The only USB passthrough I have is on an external (pcie) USB card and in both scenarios it's has the same ID (1987:5012). The Unraid USB is plugged in on the back panel.
May 30, 20206 yr Community Expert Without the HBA this audio device is being passed-trough: 0d:00.3 Audio device [0403]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Family 17h (Models 00h-0fh) HD Audio Controller [1022:1457] Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device [1043:8733] Kernel driver in use: vfio-pci With the HBA the IDs change and instead you're passing-though this device: 0d:00.3 USB controller [0c03]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Zeppelin USB 3.0 Host controller [1022:145f] Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device [1043:8747] Kernel driver in use: vfio-pci
May 30, 20206 yr Author Yes your right..the VM is breaking something.. disabled the VM shut down, added the new card and it all starts and works fine (minus VM). I will just make a new VM from scratch and work from there. Thanks, has narrowed it down!
May 30, 20206 yr Community Expert You just need to edit the XML and change the ID of the audio controller: change from: <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x0d' slot='0x00' function='0x3'/> to <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x0e' slot='0x00' function='0x3'/>
