I now tried ASRock B75 Pro3-M with Windows 7 64Bit VM: - Passthrough of onboard Panther Point ports doesn't work. Same problem as above (datastore gone) - Passthrough of ASRock SATA3 Card doesn't work. - Passthrough of "onboard ASM1061" works! - Passthrough of simple "Silicon Image 3114" 4 port...

No, I didn't. I tried Proxmox but had no success. Perhaps I will try to passthrough other cards but at the moment I have no time to do that.

Direct Path I/O is shown supported. I can't reverse passthrough of the onboard SATA controller but simply reinstall ESXi ;-) My first try was to use the onboard SATA for the SSD and pass through the ASRock PCIe SATA controller. It didn't worked. I thought the ASRock controller doesn't support...

Hm, no success on the other slots..... Perhaps the board is not able to passthrough? But it's selectable in the BIOS.

I didn't found anything about that in the manual but I found the attached image. I'll try the other PCIe slots especially the PEG slot and post the results. Thanks for your replies so far.

That is exactly what I'm doing! I'm using the ASRock SATA3 PCIe controller to connect the SSD. So the onboard SATA controller is completely unused at the moment. But as soon as I check passthrough for the onboard SATA controller, ESXi still boots but the local datastore is gone.

Hi, on my ESXi 5 I'm trying to passthrough the onboard SATA controller to use the connected HDDs in a fileserver VM. Therefor I install ESXi on SSD connected to an ASRock SATA3 PCIe controller and checking the onboard cougar point SATA AHCI controller for passthrough (see screenshot). But...
