Hi, I'm totally new to Proxmox so please accept my apologies if this is a a dumb question. I have successfully installed Proxmox 7.1-7 and want to configure an NVMe on a PCIE card so that this is passed through to the VM. As with my other post, I see this topic has a dedicated tag defined in this forum, but I can't find any useful posts - apologies if I'm missing the obvious. I understand that Proxmox favours command line configuration, and have SSH access to the host, but that's about it.
How to pass through NVMe on a PCIe card?

Hope this isn't too painful for you :-(
When I type:
I get nothing, even though the nvm 'disk' was shown as one of the potential install targets when I installed Proxmox. However, when I type:
I get the following:
So it does seem to be 'there' in some sense.

OK, I went to the Hardware tab and went through the steps to add a new PCI device. This listed several options, amongst which I spotted the Kingston Technologies device, which I believe corresponds to the NVMe (see attached image). I also got an error (warning?) about no IOMMU being detected. From what I read it seems that this is essential and is something I enable from the BIOS screen. Is this correct?
