Hello, my MB is a Supermicro X10SL7-F, that has a onboard Lsi controller, that I have in IT mode. I think it is 2 different controllers and I'm planing on installing proxmox on this server, but I would like to use it with truenas. Will I be able to passthrough the onboard LSI controller? Or that...
Hi,
I'm not familiar with Proxmox, as I've only done work with bare virsh/libvirt, virt-manager, qemu, etc. on vanilla Linux distros, but I thought I'd give it a shot for a client since Proxmox has a lot of nice features out of the box, and I consider Linux the Grand Poobah of software defined...
First I initially wanted to pass through the whole HBA but then I couldn't boot TrueNAS if I did that. I ended up just passing each disk one at a time. The performance is great, the scrubs and smart tasks are working fine, but there are two little quirks that I've noticed. One quirk is that the...
I think about getting the M11SDV-4C-LN4F for a low power and silent home server. But I still have some things to clarify:
First, how good are the iommu groups? Is everything nicely separated? (like the SATA/USB/NMVE Controller and the 4 nics)
And the second question: Instead of a 24 pin ATX...
Good day,
I am facing a weird issue where I can passthrough the Vega M gpu to a Windows 10 VM and reboot/shutdown without issues.
Passing the gpu through to an Ubuntu 18.04 vm works fine for the first time, but once I reboot the vm, the host freeze (unable to access web interface or SSH).
If...
Hello.
I would like to try to enable the passtrough of my graphic card (geforce rtx 2080 ti) on Windows server using the DDA. To do this,I need to buy another motherboard,because the one I have (gigabyte aorus pro) does not support the ACS. Problem is that I don't want to buy another CPU. I...
Hiya,
I´m considering building a new box with the intention of being able to host one or two VM's that'll run games over parsec, with GPU-resources shared/assigned per VM. I'll probably want to run a few other VM's alongside these, but nothing that requires GPU. The box will be hosted close by...
Hi,
I have tried both ESXi 6.7 and 6.7U1.
No USB controllers show up under Host>Manage>Hardware>PCI Devices>Passthrough Capable.
What shows are:
2x NICs
2x NVMes
2x GPUs - (onboard and Radeon RX480)
1x Intel(R) Audio Device
Maybe I need to install some Intel software in the ESXi hypervisor...
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...
Hey,
tl;dr,
I'm thinking of migrating my homelab from a handful of Sandy and Ivy Bridge E3s and Core i5/i7s to a single Ryzen ESXi Windows desktop (GPU passthrough) / FreeBSD file server (since Ryzen supports ECC) and a trio of old Thinkpads T520s to save power but still have high availability...
Fun times
Noticing none of the settings in an ESXi 6.7 installation are surviving reboot.
I created the USB with a stock installation ISO like always, downloaded from the VMWare website. Just used the USB key like a normal drive.
Have been doing this for several years now. Been using ESXi...
Hello guys.
I'm having some weird problems with my server's data transfer rate and need your help.
When ever I copying a large file (30GB) from one Seagate SSD to the other Seagate , it starts at full speed from about 400 -450MB/s and then suddenly drops off to around 150-250 MB/s after some...
So i'm now roughly half a week into my second attempts at troubleshooting GPU passthrough. I've researched information on VMware's site, as well as this great thread: Troubleshooting GPU passthrough ESXi 6.5
Unfortunately, i just cannot seem to figure out where i'm going wrong and was...
So I've literally had this problem for like a year. I just absolutely cannot get the onboard USB controller for this Supermicro X11SSH-LN4F to show up in ESXI as a pass-through option. It just doesn't appear in the list of pass-through hardware. I own a number of other Supermicro X11 boards and...
So I have been unable to get this to work at all. I'm using a vanilla unmodified macOS Sierra install on a Dell T3500 workstation. I've tried with both 6.0 and 6.5 with the same results. I can boot the machine just fine without the GPU passthrough and/or with passthrough and nv_disable=1 boot...
Hi,
I want to try out an all-in-one build. Everything works:
ESXi 6.0 boots from usb key
A second small usb key is configured as datastore. However because I reserved the memory no swap file and other unwanted writes will take place on the datastore. It only has the vmx files. The vmdk's are...
With AMD's Zen around the corner, I am getting ideas about what I might do with a crazy number of CPU cores.
I am looking to build a computer for use as a multi-seat workstation. I would like to have my host be some very stripped down OS (as close to "bare metal" as possible), and exclusively do...
