Just got a H11SSL-NC motherboard and a 7351P - esxi 6.5u1 seems to work fine on it - but alas it seems that iommu (aka PCI pass thru) doesn't even show up in the vmware gui with this mobo/cpu combo. I poked around in the BIOS and don't see an option to enable it either. Is this a known problem others have run into? I emailed supermicro just now but have not heard back. Definitely going to put a crimp in my passing the onboard SAS controller thru to a storage VM if SM or somebody else doesn't know a fix.

Never mind - it was a BIOS setting - just not on the screen where I thought it should be - seems to show up properly in vcenter now that I enabled it. Need to reflash the 9300-8i from IR to IT and I can try it out!
