I am running the latest version of TrueNas scale using a AMD 550 motherboard with an 5700G CPU. The 5700G has a build in GPU.
Since Scale always needs one GPU for itself, there is/was no GPU available for a VM.
Since I plan to use VM's having a GUI, I need to add a GPU to at least one VM (at a time), I had to adee an extra GPU (I added a Nvidia GT 1030).
In System Settings Advanced I noticed that the GT1030 has been isolated ^for use by a virtual machine (VM)^. So That was according to my plan.
Than I created a data set ^FreeBSD14^ and started defining a new VM ^FreeBSD14 (FreeBSD14 Current)^.
In the section related to GPU's I defined:
- Hide from MSR ^no^
- Ensure Display Device ^yes^
- GPU's: I choose the GT 1030 (Note I could also select the 5700G internal GPU, which should not be possible IMHO !!)
The VM did NOT boot
- note that in VM devices there where two PCI devices added. One for audio and One for Video
I removed the GPU in the VM-config and after doing so the VM did boot. Since the VM was booting now, I did configure FreeBSD and removed the virtual CDROM. After that the VM did work / start.
Than I did a second test. I did edit the config and added the GPU again. Not booting again
So for some reason it does not work
I hope some one understands the problem, has the solution !!
