[SOLVE] ESXI 7.0U3: Passthrough Supermicro X10 onboard sata controller to TrueNas VM?

[vcth4nh]

Spec:

• Supermicro X10Dai motherboard
• SSD1 (boot SSD) connects to Sata port 9,
• SSD2 connect to Sata port 3

I read the manual, and I understand that this board have 2 different sata controllers: SATA and sSATA

and currently my SSD1 is connected to sSATA, while SSD2 connected to SATA

So the question is: Is it possible to pass through the onboard SATA controller to TrueNas VM?

I'm not positive on the C610 chipset, but, as ehfortin mentioned in his thread, you'll need to add the Wellsburg controller to /etc/vmware/passthru.map.

You'll need the vendor and device id. Run lspci at the ESXi command line. Look for the line pertaining to your mass storage controller. It will likely be "0000:00:XX.X Mass Storage Controller: Intel Corporation Wellsburg AHCI Controller".

Make a note of the hex prefix (0000:00:XX.X) and then run 'lspci -n'.

Find the line corresponding to the prefix, it'll look something like '0000:00:1f.2 Class 0106: 8086:8d62 [vmhba2]'. That last part, "8086:8d62" in this case, are the vendor and device id.

Then add them to your passthru.map file like so:

# INTEL Wellsburg AHCI
8086 8d62 d3d0 false

VMware reference for VT-D passthrough.

THIS ACTUALLY HELP!
