Hello,

I'm having a strange problem. whenever I passthrough my LSI 9210-8i [LSI SAS2008 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-2 [Falcon] (rev 03)] to my VM. The VM console stops working. I get this error:

VM 100 qmp command 'set_password' failed - unable to connect to VM 100 qmp socket - timeout after 51 retries
TASK ERROR: Failed to run vncproxy


The moment I remove it the console works again.

I am on a Lenovo P520 with a Intel Xeon W processor with 6 cores 12 Threads
I have 256GB of RAM on the system and of course I'm using the LSI card stated above.
I recently installed PVE 8.3.x
I'm not sure why this is happening. The disks are 4 14TB drives that show up in PVE just fine. They are connected through the HBA. I also have 2 SSD's connected by motherboard and 4 by a Pcie card. The card was said to be set to IT mode from the Ebay seller. Please help. I've been struggling and doing research alone for more than 3 days now. I don't know enough about how PVE works to figure it out.
