    X10SL7-F LSI Passthrough

    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...

    Present vg on host as a local disk to vm in Proxmox?

    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...

    Got a TrueNAS VM set up with HDDs mapped raw, it's working well but anything I should worry about?

    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...

    Supermicro M11SDV questions (iommu groups, power connector)

    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...

    ESXi 6.5 - AMD Vega GH M - Ubuntu vm - freezes host on reboot

    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...

    Advice for remote gaming rig

    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...

    LSI 9211-8i IT Mode getting driver error and no drives are available CentOS

    ESXi 6.7 on Ryzen x399 for VMs + GPU passthrough desktop

    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...

    ESXi 6.7 can't change settings, don't survive reboot (passthrough issues, too!)

    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...

    USB controller Pass-through Supermicro X11SSH-LN4F ESXI 6.5

    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...

    ESXI 6(.5) - OSX with GPU Passthrough

    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...

    Planning a multiseat, virtualized workstation

    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...
