Hello,

when an win10 VM guest is started, the intel x540 T2 no longer exist on the host. First of all a vmbr0 is configurated on a bridge-port with en2s0f1, everthing is working fine and Linux quest have a connection on vmbr1, once a win10 VM is started the NIC is not longer approachable.

Code:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto enp5s0
iface enp5s0 inet static
        address 192.168.1.2/24
#Fallback 1 Gbit

auto enp2s0f0
iface enp2s0f0 inet static
        address 192.168.0.2/24

auto enp2s0f1
iface enp2s0f1 inet manual

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
        address 192.168.0.8/24
        gateway 192.168.0.12
        bridge-ports enp2s0f1
        bridge-stp off
        bridge-fd 0



With ifreload comes this message:

Code:
root@pve:~# ifreload -a
error: vmbr0: bridge port enp2s0f1 does not exist



I think the drivers are loaded correctly?

Code:
root@pve:~# dmesg | grep eth

[    2.337390] ixgbe 0000:02:00.0 enp2s0f0: renamed from eth0


After a reboot everthing is working fine, until the win10 guest is started again...

I am running out of ideas how i can handle this issue, hope there is some one can help me, thanks ahead
 
It seems to be the GPU passtrough cause this issue, the GPU and the NIC are on the same IOMMU group, how can this be fixed?
 
I think your only hope might be to move the NIC to a different IO slot on the mainboard if you have a spare x8 or x16 slot and hope that moves the NIC into a different IOMMU group
 
Ok, i only have two 8x or 16x PCIe, so if this was the only way, it will be a hard decision between 10GB or GPU usage on the VM's....

There are affordable 10 GB Cards wich work with 1x PCIe?
