    ESXi - PCI device not map correctly for using as passthrough on Z490 chipset

    Did you try : https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/esxi-7-0u3-odd-passthrough-behavior.34491/post-317769 I've stopped using VMware and moved on to Proxmox, but might still be of use. Can't help you further on this, but might be worth trying.

    Proxmox, ConnectX-3 QSFP+ to SFP+

    The NICs are dual port, so it could be an option to run the second port on 40G in a card to card configuration. I already have a QSFP+ cable, so it might be useful for VM migrations. Will have a look at it. Thanks for the insights.

    Proxmox, ConnectX-3 QSFP+ to SFP+

    My goal: I'm currently in the process of migrating from VMware to Proxmox. Bought two almost new SFF boxes (Lenovo ThinkCentre M70S SFF) for my new base infra and want to connect them to my QNAP QSW-M1208-8C at 10GBit through SFP+. Research done: Next to some searching on the internet I was...

    Troubleshooting GPU passthrough ESXi 6.5

    No luck then. Only thing I can think of is going to ESXi 6.7. But you have to see what works for you. I'm out of options to help you any further.

    Troubleshooting GPU passthrough ESXi 6.5

    Yeah, 6.7u3 works for me the best also. And indeed, reserve memory. The svga.present param is something I had mixed experiences with in the past. Sometimes worked, sometimes not. The steps I described are the ones I follow when setting up a new Win VM. hypervisor.cpuid.v0 shouldn't be needed now...

    Troubleshooting GPU passthrough ESXi 6.5

    iGPU may interfere, don't have experience with those. PCI-E lanes should not be the issue, then only things would perform slower. I currently use Nvidia drivers 512.77 for my gaming VM, so most probably your are good with 512.15. You did try the steps I mentioned for a new VM, and following the...

    Troubleshooting GPU passthrough ESXi 6.5

    Try to avoid, it might interfere. The VMware remote desktop feature is just a bonus and not suitable for GPU work. Don't know what your use case is, but if it's a Win10 VM for some GPU work, connect a monitor to it. As for what you stated "With svga.present=true, enabling/disabling the gpu...

    Troubleshooting GPU passthrough ESXi 6.5

    Did you use the remote desktop feature in the web console in VCSA/ESXi web interface? You might want to stay away from that one after you passed the GPU.

    Troubleshooting GPU passthrough ESXi 6.5

    Did you try this: - Setting this on the VM: svga.present = FALSE - Or this on the Hypervisor in Configure - System - Advanced System Settings: VMkernel.Boot.disableACSCheck = true - Try switching PCI-E slots if you put the GPU in the first one closest to the CPU. You might have to redo the...

    ASRock Rack ROME8D-2T no post "00" with naples 7551p

    And if you want to have the fan controls in the BMC web UI, ask ASRockRack for BMC Firmware Version 1.10.01 . They are not present in 1.10.00 . Edit: removed stuff

    ASRock Rack ROMED8-2T Review an ATX AMD EPYC Platform

    ESXI 6.7 passthrough GeForce GT 1030 to Ubuntu

    You can verify on your MilkyWay@Home profile page. Look for Tasks and click on View. There you can track the status of the jobs. Btw: you can also use this command: boinccmd --project <project URL> nomorework And let BOINC crunch through all the tasks until everything in the queue is completed...

    ESXI 6.7 passthrough GeForce GT 1030 to Ubuntu

    No problem, took me many years to get GPU passthrough working for me. For ESXi, I use both, but use 6.7u3 (latest update) the most. Haven't played that much with GPU passthrough on ESXi 7.0 (u2) that much yet. Just stick with 7.0, you can always revert to 6.7. Can't give yo a clear answer on...

    ESXI 6.7 passthrough GeForce GT 1030 to Ubuntu

    This looks good. Under processes something is running. If you check the log for BOINC messages (/var/log/syslog or /var/log/boinc.log) you will see the GPU is detected and used. I do think you have to figure the OpenGL thing out. Can't help you with that. Just check if some of the workunits (2...
