Hi,
Has anyone tried VT-D / PCI Passthrough with VMWare ESXi 5.5 (free version, no VCenter) and LSI 9240 in IT mode?
Server is an HP MicroServer Gen8 with a Xeon E3-1265L V2 CPU installed, and I've flashed the 9240 into LSI 9211 IT mode.
ESXi lets me setup PCI Passthrough (aka VMDirectPath) for the LSI, and assign it to the FreeNAS VM, but when I try to power-on the VM, ESXi throws an error (before FreeNAS starts trying to boot):
"Failed to register the device pciPassthru0"
I've also tried with a new VM configured for FreeBSD 32-bit, before installing FreeNAS to the VM.
I realize this is an ESXi problem, but I haven't found anything online.
Many other HP Microserver users report that the 9211 and IBM m1015 both work fine in IT mode, and supposedly the 9240 in IT mode should work as well.
EDIT: This is resolved in ESXi 5.5 Patch 4
Thanks,
Barry
