Hei guys!
After being inspired by LTT videos about Unraid, I decided it's my time to dive in there as well. As I had some older hardware easily available (Dell Optiplex 790 sff), I decided to play around on that. I was able to set up IOMMU (1050ti gpu passthrough to a windows vm) on that Dell motherboard with an i5-2500s. But then I decided that I want to upgrade at least parts of my server (case, MB, CPU, additional drives, PSU). So now I have the following setup:
i7-2600
GA-Z68AP-D3 rev 1.0
16GB DDR3 RAM
bunch of drives, ssd's for cache
This is working quite great for me as a home server (seafile, nas, plex, etc), but I also wanted to make a Windows VM with GPU passthrough to be able to do some light gaming on the living room TV. So I made all the cabling (10m hdmi, 10m active usb cables), plugged all in, went into BIOS, made sure the virtualization was enabled, but when booting into unraid, I get this:
When googling about this issue with my particular motherboard, I came across this post, which does not seem too optimistic about IOMMU on this boad - link. ;(
I am wondering if anyone has any tips or suggestions on what to actually try before I go about switching my board again.
Best regards,
Peteris
