Good afternoon All,

I have been frantically attempting to resolve an issue that, i have to admit, has been keeping me away at night. Like lots of people, i have been migrating away from ESXI and over to PM VE. So far so good with my homelab server.

I have a fresh install of the latest 8.2.2 on a ZFS SSD, set iOMMU to on, followed every tutorial i can find but when i attempt to pass my HBA card thorough to a VM, i get the error below. It did work fine in ESXI so i know the bios is set correctly.


This is the error:
Code: 
kvm: -device vfio-pci,host=0000:07:00.0,id=hostpci0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x10: vfio 0000:07:00.0: failed to setup container for group 50: Failed to set group container: Invalid argument
TASK ERROR: start failed: QEMU exited with code 1

There are no other devices on Group 50. I have backlisted the mpt3sas driver, however when PM boots, the disks from the SAS card are visible within Proxmox VE. ( not sure if this is relevant) When the VM starts, they do disappear.

Server is a HP DL380e G8. PCIE device:
Code: 
07:00.0 Serial Attached SCSI controller: Broadcom / LSI SAS2008 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-2 [Falcon] (rev 03)
        DeviceName: Storage Controller
        Subsystem: Broadcom / LSI 9211-8i
        Kernel driver in use: vfio-pci
        Kernel modules: mpt3sas

The VM is a q35 type, RAM ballooning off and i am using the same settings as i did for my SuperMicro server which worked as expected.

Does anybody have any suggestions i could try?

Thank you in advance,
Kind regards,
Dan.
 
Hi, I have the same issue with a HP DL380G8 and a HP H221 / SAS2308-IT HBA running with Linux 6.8.4-3-pve.
maybe you can point me into the right direction if the method above is still valid?
(sry I am quite new to proxmox and I have no clue what to do next..)
