    Haswell C22X VT-D of onboard USB

    Hi donjonmin, Sorry I didn't see your reply earlier. Heh in fact when I saw the thread title in the list I clicked it thinking "oh this looks interesting" completely forgetting that I'm the one who started it. Doh. Anyway, how interesting you made the same jump I did, from T110 to TS140...

    Can you make a vm of windows media center and have everything work correctly?

    peanuthead is correct that it's a non-starter with hyper-v because it can't handle VT-d. I tried really hard to get this to work back in the ESXi 5.0 days. I fiddled with 3 or 4 different Radeon cards, passing them through to a Win7 guest. The cards mainly passed through OK but HDCP was a...

    Haswell C22X VT-D of onboard USB

    Hmm ok. The reason I had thought that was because I tried to use ESXi 5.0 U2 first (old build, yes) and the Configure Passthrough screen had the exact same list of devices but everything was named "Unknown : Unknown" (or something to that effect). It made some intuitive sense, since 5.0 predated...

    Haswell C22X VT-D of onboard USB

    5.5, aside from giving slightly different names to the devices under "Configure Passthrough" seems to be behaving exactly the same... for the onboard USB I see two devices: 00:1a.0 | Intel Corporation Lynx Point USB Enhanced Host Controller #2 (Vendor 8086, Device 8C2D) 00:1d.0 | Intel...

    Thanks guys. Will try 5.5 here this morning and will report back.

    Haswell C22X VT-D of onboard USB

    Sorry, should have said... Xeon E3-1225 v3. VT-d/VMDirectPath works fine--I can successfully pass through the USB controllers--it's just they're passing through (and showing up) as EHCI controllers, not XHCI.

    Haswell C22X VT-D of onboard USB

    Hi all, I have a Lenovo Thinkserver TS140 but I believe this issue may affect other Haswell-based boards in ESXi 5.1 (haven't tried 5.5). For one, the SATA controller, while detected and working fine for ESXi datastores, does not appear in the list of devices able to be passed through to...

    ESXi 5.0 on Lenovo TS140 / C224 Chipset

    Thanks for the reply lopoetve. The reason why I was wanting to stick with 5.0 is that VMDirectPath works without issues in that version. 5.1 and 5.5 have introduced complications to hardware passthru I wanted to avoid. However, I am happy to report that 5.1U2, released a couple of days ago has...

    ESXi 5.0 on Lenovo TS140 / C224 Chipset

    I just tried 5.0U3 and now all the devices in Configure Passthrough are named properly but it still doesn't see my onboard AHCI SATA ports. 5.1 does see them. Can anyone help me identify what driver I need to try to grab?

    ESXi 5.0 on Lenovo TS140 / C224 Chipset

    Hi all, Okay so I just picked up one of the Xeon E3-based Lenovo TS140 servers. Cheap machine and will take up to 32GB of RAM which was my chief complaint about my old PowerEdge T110 (limited to 16GB). I have no need for any of the features that ESXi 5.1 and 5.5 bring to the table...

    OpenZFS NAS (BSD, Illumos, Linux, OSX, Solaris, Windows + Storage Spaces) with napp-it web-gui

    Hi _Gea et al Forgive what will probably turn out to be my overlooking something really stupid, but I'm running out of time and haven't been able to google the answer to this thus far. Basics: ESXI 5.0U1 on Dell T110 OI VM running Napp-it 0.7l nightly Feb.23.2012 (yeah I need to update)...

    VMDirectPath Locking up HOST

    Boy this thread really blew up :D Really appreciate the offer to help lopoetve--I will work on setting up the syslog collector here in the next couple of hours and will repeat to see what can be gleaned from the logs. Good discussion too. Like I said, I have no sense of expectation for...

    VMDirectPath Locking up HOST

    I understand that--and even attempted to "pre-but" that in my first post. But my point was that VMDirectPath works for all kinds of things that aren't supported. Furthermore, when I've read of problems people have with it--it's almost always that the VM boots but the passed-through device...

    VMDirectPath Locking up HOST

    Anyone who's utilized VMDirectPath ever seen where starting up a VM with a passthrough device immediately hard locks the host? I'm seeing it on two different machines (both Dell--one is a PE T110 and the other a Precision T5500) with two different cards--one is a Brooktrout PCI fax card and...

    OpenZFS NAS (BSD, Illumos, Linux, OSX, Solaris, Windows + Storage Spaces) with napp-it web-gui

    Thanks s0rce and _Gea for the replies. I guess it's good that there's at least something one can try in such an instance but that procedure looks Hairy! Fortunately, what I lost can be re-created so I think I will just bite the bullet and do that rather than mess around trying to take my pools...
