See below. This was created via the Cockpit-Machines Web interface mind you. Additionally, for the other VM guests I have that ARE auto-starting, what I did was remove the section of code... <graphics type='spice' autoport='yes' listen='127.0.0.1'> <listen type='address'...

This error is driving me nuts and I can't seem to figure out why it's failing. I've got a basic install of Debian Buster with qemu/libvirt and am utilizing Cockpit as the simple server mgmt UI. VM creation and everything works fine via Cockpit and even using the console within the web ui works...

Much like when I was a kid and had random urges to switch up my room, I've suddenly had the desire to re-evaluate my storage setup on my homelab server and I'm wondering what I should really do based upon my use. I'll first start with the setup: E3-1230v5 32GB DDR4 RAM LSi 9211-8i in IT Mode...

Welp everything is back to operating as expected. Re-enabled passthrough, configured my CentOS VM and viola, there they be! The real trick now will be when I power it down and then power it back up to see what happens. Its the powering off that in the past has caused some weird instability...

Full power down. Remove 9211 card from top PCIe slot down 1 to second slot. Re-seat the cables. Power it back up...drives are reported successfully after waiting several minutes (why the heck does it take so long to get this thing to boot?)... Let ESXi boot up and look in the storage devices...

Now I cant get ESXi to even toggle passthrough mode off. I think I'm going to try and move the card to a different pci slot and see what happens.

I tried updating the Grub2 boot config and no go... Here's a more detailed output from DMESG: [ 1.247397] sd 3:0:5:0: [sdf] Attached SCSI disk [ 1.247415] sd 3:0:1:0...

I'll check tonight for other errors but when you say add it as a boot parameter do you mean in the VM advanced settings? One other note is I tried attaching the card to a Windows server 2016 install and it has a similar problem where it could see the card but not "activate it".

I seem to be having an intermittent problem (potentially related to an update although I cant figure out which one) with my recently purchased LSI 9211-8i. The card came pre-flashed into IT mode and after installing it in my ESXi 6.5 server and passing it through to my NAS install (I use...

I've been lucky enough to obtain 6x800GB SSD drives which I will be adding to my ESXi home server but I'm a bit lost as to what add on card I should really get so that I can successfully pass through the card to a CentOS host running a BTRFS raid setup (which then hosts an NFS export for further...

So while doing some troubleshooting of my Windows 10 host I noticed that a process in task manager -- VMMEM -- that was eating up about 1GB of RAM at login for a little while and then it seems to disappear. After some quick Googling it seems that the VMMEM process is related to Hyper-V...

I've set up my homelab ESXi server to have 4 WD-Reds 'raw device mapped' to a NAS vm (the base OS vmdk is hosted on the ESXi datastore) which IMO is analogous to performing a passthrough as the VM essentially acts like it has full/direct access to the raw physical disk. I've been successfully...

I have a mini itx build with a Ryzen 5 1600, 2x8gb DDR4, 2xSSDs, and currently a GTX 970 all on a 450w SFX PSU. I just managed to snag a GTX 1080 (for MSRP!) and while it appears based on all the PSU calculators out there I've got plenty of power headroom, I wanted to get a more experienced...

A couple of weeks ago the news about Korea banning crypto-currency seemed to cause a downward spiral for several days but things bounced back relatively quick. Today or at least the last 24 hours it seems just about everything is down by a notable percentage. This is again because Korea...

Just wanted to check as Im setting up my machine to get into the STH pool but didn't know if using a public node presented any risks/issues. Thanks!

Ok I figured it out. I hadn't disabled the VMware SVGA display adapter and that was causing something to go a bit sideways. Once I disabled it in device manager all has been working fine for the past few hours.

Hey there - I'd be interested in joining too but would this effectively work in an ESXi VM/boot2docker? My E3-1230v5 server isn't heavily utilized (in fact its not very utilized from a CPU standpoint at all most of the time...all the workloads are very light atm) on the compute side and this...

Oh? How does this impact your other VMs from a compute standpoint? Assuming the docker host is pretty much fully utilizing the CPU cores given to it? My E3 v5 is very under utilized from a CPU standpoint most of the time and it'd be nice to possibly use that extra idle time to play with some...

I decided to just fire up ccminer on my Windows 10 machine with a 1050ti passed through and at first it seemed to be working ok but it ended up error'ing out after about 15 minutes due to a memory error. I played with the intensity levels and still no luck. Within 15 minutes or so it fails. I...

Thanks for the feedback everyone! I'm definitely interested in it from a hobby/technology standpoint but its also truthfully interesting from a monetary standpoint as well ;) I do have some hardware coming to EoL that I'll have access to but its all CPU power, no real GPU hardware at the moment...
