Help booting UnRAID USB in ESXi 7


Recommended Posts

Okay.

I try to move my unraid from harware to esxi.

I have to drives, one parity and one normal.

.

First, I have added a PCI-E SATA card (IT-mode) and enabled PCI passtrough

Then I have inserted the USB, but made it not to boot on hardware bios (Because of ESXi)

 

Now, ESXI is up, I created A VM (settings below), made passtrough of my PCI-E SATA card, and made passtrough of my USB-device, I think.

I am not able to boot from USB, but I have read at the forum it should be posible in ESXi 7.

Any sugestions?
