    [SOLVED] Enable secure boot on Windows 10 VM

    The efi file is not a partition, even though pve allocates it as a disk. It contains the UEFI settings, like the keys etc.

    DMAR: DRHD: handling fault status reg 3 on GPU passthrough to LibreELEC VM

    Addendum: the libreelec VM does not start when intel_iommu=on,igfx_off is used. Error: Cannot open iommu_group: No such file or directory Obviously I had to revert to my previous setup containing only iommu=pt. What's driving me crazy is that the issue appears after some videos are played...

    DMAR: DRHD: handling fault status reg 3 on GPU passthrough to LibreELEC VM

    Tried it, but did not notice any changed in dmesg. Regardless of igfx_off is used, I received the following: .. [ 0.027691] DMAR: IOMMU enabled [ 0.069681] DMAR-IR: IOAPIC id 2 under DRHD base 0xfed91000 IOMMU 1 [ 0.261239] pci 0000:00:02.0: DMAR: Skip IOMMU disabling for graphics ...

    DMAR: DRHD: handling fault status reg 3 on GPU passthrough to LibreELEC VM

    Thanks, I will try that. Shouldn't the kernel complain about an invalid option though?

    IGD GPU passthough issue

    Apologies for reviving this thread, but it might solve my issue in https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/dmar-drhd-handling-fault-status-reg-3-on-gpu-passthrough-to-libreelec-vm.168547/ How did you obtain the GPU BIOS, via GPU-Z or other means? I'm also trying LE as a VM, but after 1-2 hours of...

    DMAR: DRHD: handling fault status reg 3 on GPU passthrough to LibreELEC VM

    Stumbled upon a thread in Arch forums with a similar issue on a system (no hypervisor), that was solved by modifying GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT to "quiet iommu=pt,igfx_off" (basically adding ,igfx_off to the iommu option). Did not solve the issue...

    DMAR: DRHD: handling fault status reg 3 on GPU passthrough to LibreELEC VM

    I've created a LibreELEC 12 VM, based on an image suitable for Intel N150 graphics and written a howto here: https://forum.libreelec.tv/thread/29811-x86-64-le-12-as-a-proxmox-vm-with-gpu-pass-through/ Using GPU passthrough I watch Kodi on my television. It works perfectly, until it doesn't...

    Is configuring with fixed memory for Windows-based VMs still an issue?

    Years ago one could create Linux VMs specifying a dynamic memory allocation (ie with a minimum memory setting different from the normal one). This did not work well on Windows VMs. Has this been rectified in recent PVE versions?

    [SOLVED] VM cpu flags usage: which ones should be enabled for max performance and how?

    Re-read what I wrote and indeed does not make sense :D From an admin's point of view the way the toggles are setup one might assume that there is some performance-related consistency. That is if the switch is set to the left (off) performance improves, whereas moving it to the right security...

    [SOLVED] VM cpu flags usage: which ones should be enabled for max performance and how?

    Great information, thank you! A bit confusing is the fact that these flags do not operate in the sense that setting them to off improves performance. For example, the aes option, if I understand correctly will decrease if the flag is set to off. I'll set the following to off: pcid, spec-ctrl...

    [SOLVED] VM cpu flags usage: which ones should be enabled for max performance and how?

    Hey Thomas, long time no see :) I've been using host as the CPU time, it's the flags part that got me confused. So would enabling all flags be ok in this case? Again, no external access will be made on the box, just internal stuff I'm using.

    [SOLVED] VM cpu flags usage: which ones should be enabled for max performance and how?

    I'm setting up a Windows Server 2022 VM and noticed these flags. My PVE node is single -> not a part of a cluster, therefore no need to migrate etc. Processor is an Intel Xeon 4208 (IIRC). From the looks of it, the flags exist to mitigate various CPU-level attacks. Assuming that nothing as such...

    [SOLVED] Network UPS tools (NUT) initiated shutdows: should VMs/CTs be manually stopped first?

    I'm setting up NUT for the first time on a PVE host. This will be a NUT client (in this case connected to a Synology NAS that operates as a NUT server). There's a section that entails to what should be done when the system should go down. At the moment this is simply a /sbin/shutdown -h +0...

    [SOLVED] Enable secure boot on Windows 10 VM

    Even though some time has passed, I'm posting this for whoever might stumble into the same situation (ie modifying a non-UEFI-based Windows boot to UEFI-based). You can do this in two steps, in less than 1-2 hours. The procedure involves (a) migrating first the MBR disk contents to a GPT...
