[SOLVED] Proxmox + LSI 9207-8e + FreeNAS

[Onigami]

My setup is a R710 that I run Proxmox on and a LSI 9207-8e HBA (SAS2308) p20 firmware connected to a MD1000 fully load with 15 disks that I want to use with Freenas to store my stuffs. Problem is that the HBA is ok in BIOS and Proxmox but I can't seem to be able to pass it to the FreeNAS VM.

With the same hardware everything work well under VMware vsphere 6.5

FIXED with

echo "options vfio_iommu_type1 allow_unsafe_interrupts=1" > /etc/modprobe.d/iommu_unsafe_interrupts.conf

Greetings Onigami:

I am currently building a R720xd and attempting to pass my SAS2308 p20 firmware HBA to FreeNAS as well with no luck. I see that you have the Boot Support disabled under Avago setup prior to post. Is this required?
