Promox first time install

[shrinathmukund]

Hi I have the following setup

Ryzen 5 5600G

Gigabyte B550Mds3h

64 GB corsair vengeance ram

tp link tx201 2.5 gig lan card and on board GBE Nic from Realtek

I would also like to know how to passthrough the onboard SATA ports on to the true NAS VM

also how can I run the PF sense using the 2 NICs

I would like to run proxmox and pf sense and docker containers need your help

Maybe this wiki article and forum thread might be helpful for you:

What kind of disk(s) do you want to use as a boot disk and/or VM storage? Be aware that passing through the on-board SATA controller makes it unavailable to Proxmox VE, meaning that you cannot use any SATA disks as boot disks or other storage.

As a rule of thumb, set up a VM as a host for you Docker containers and don't use LXC for that. While technically possible, there are all sorts of weird interactions with Docker and LXC that you can avoid by just using LXC

also how can I run the PF sense using the 2 NICs

Don't know much about pfSense. You probably want to set up two network bridge (e.g. vmbr0 and vmbr1), each using one of the NICs, and give the pfSense a network interface in both, one for the WAN port, and one for the local network.

Boot disk would be a NVME M.2 SSD 1TB I considered that for future proofing this should be good right
and regarding the docket containers I plan to install portainer

guys what am I doing wrong here

Most likely you're either grabbing the wrong device (one that Proxmox itself uses, be it network, storage or otherwise) or a device that is in a group together with one such device.

Try running this to see if the device(s) you want to pass through are in seperate groups from all other devices:

pvesh get /nodes/{nodename}/hardware/pci --pci-class-blacklist ""
which in your case would result in:
pvesh get /nodes/mukundan/hardware/pci --pci-class-blacklist ""

I have 2 NIC cards one is the onboard one with the motherboard and the other is a PCIe when I passthrough the PCIe Nic the VM won't start else its fine
