Sata Controler Passthrough : controler detected from VM but not HDD

[lxiosjao]

Hi,

I would like to passthrough a SATA PCIe 2.0 controler to a VM.
The controler is detected from the VM but I can't find HDD.

i used this doc : https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/PCI(e)_Passthrough

Host config
file : /etc/modules ( update-initramfs -u -k all )

vfio
vfio_iommu_type1
vfio_pci
vfio_virqfd

file : /etc/kernel/cmdline (proxmox-boot-tool refresh ok)

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet intel_iommu=on"

Output of dmesg : dmesg | grep -e DMAR -e IOMMU -e AMD-Vi

[    0.059230] DMAR: IOMMU enabled

VM informations: Ubuntu (q35)
Controler SATA is : https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B07283QF8K (CHIPSET MARVELL 88SE9120-NAA2)
HDD : Western Digital WD Red Plus 8 TB SATA 6Gb/s

lspci -nn from VM

02:00.0 SATA controller [0106]: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88SE9120 SATA 6Gb/s Controller [1b4b:9120] (rev 12)

Any idea why I can't see HDD from the vm (lsblk command)


thanks


EDIT : If I don't do the passthrough with this controler I still can't see my HDD 8TB from the host.
I have no issue if I plug sata into the motherboard (and not in the controler pcie)
i tried with another HDD, the issue still there.

Some 88SE9128 controllers don't detect drives when IOMMU (VT-d) is on. Try booting with intel_iommu=off and check if you can see the connected drive(s) on the host. If that does work then the card probably has a firmware issue that prevents you from using this card and passthrough (of any device) at the same time.
Maybe the Proxmox staff can check whether this fix is included in the Proxmox kernel 5.15? Which kernel (and Proxmox version) are you running?

yes AFAICS, this is already in our current 5.15. kernel for a while

I tried booting with intel_iommu=off
I can see my HDD from host but I can't import my zfs pool.

root # zpool import
no pools available to import

But I can read S.M.A.R.T disk.
Why ?

Information about host :
kernel : 5.15.35-2-pve #1
PVE : 7.2-4

EDIT : Now I can't see my hdd with a lsblk. I don't understand
