HDD passthrough

[Bestbeast]

Hello guys,

Just quick question, I need to passthrough hdd to my OMV VM, and followed this guide: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Physical_disk_to_kvm

However, I need to pass also SMART info and the ability to spin down the disks.

Any suggestions on how to do that?

Kind regards

The link mentioned above describes how to assign the whole content of a disk to a virtual drive - it is not a pass through (of the disk itself respectively controller).

For doing the latter, see https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Pci_passthrough - the method is used mainly for GPUs, for using it for disk controllers there is no experience, but you can try.
