This is a thread to share experience and information regarding my latest project: virtulize Unraid(maybe 7.0) on PVE on a brand new Terramaster F6-424 Max(Max from here on) that will replace my main pve-node. I will update the post as I go. My hope is that this can help others in the future.

Background
Im running a two-node cluster with a qdevice. I virtulize everything because of the flexibility it gives me to test new and different OSs and applications with ease. On the cluster I run Pfsense FW, Fileservers, media-apps(*arrs, plex etc), prod-apps(nextcloud, vaultwarden etc), utils(unifi, pihole etc.) in a total of ~10 VMs and ~10 lxcs. A couple of the vms serves as dockerhosts and runs docker containers, all of which is administrated through a single Portainer instance.

Normally I run everything on my main node(pve1), and using the secondary node(pve2) as a replication and backup target for pve1. The only time I run services on pve2(except for Proxmox Backup Server which always runs here), is when I need to take down pve1 for some reason. Then I Migrate all services from pve1 to pve2.

Todays Hardware
PVE1: DIY-rig.
MB: Gigabyte B760I AORUS Pro DDR4​
CPU: Intel 14500T​
RAM: 64GB ram​
Chassi: Fractal node 804​
Disks:​
2xWD RED 2TB NVME - Part1-Proxmox ZFS Mirror, Part2-VM/CT. ZFS Mirror on Luks​
3xSamsung QVO 8TB SSD - Media and other "WORM" content. ZFS RAIDZ1 on Luks​
PVE2: Terramaster F4-424 Pro
CPU: Intel N305​
Ram: 32GB​
Disks:​
1xWD RED 2TB NVME - Part1-Proxmox ZFS, Part2-VM/CT replication. ZFS on Luks​
1xSamsung 2TB EVO SSD - Backup target. ZFS on Luks​
1xSeagate IronWolf 12TB - Backup target. ZFS on Luks​

Why on earth do you do ZFS on Luks??? Fair question...
But the answer is quite simple: Proxmox does not (yet?) support replicating vm/ct on zfs-encrypted filesets, so to be able to keep all (more or less) important data encrypted all the time, Luks is a simple way to go, and works really well. I have automated the boot-time unlocking so Its impossible to unlock unless servers are on my network.

Drawbacks with this setup is:
pve1 power consumption ~40W
pve1 only supports 4 SATA, unless I put in another HBA with higher power consumption.
I did try the F4-424 Pro as main node, but it was not really up to par when it comes to passthrough sata-controller...
Here we have lspci:

04:00.0 Non-Volatile memory controller: Sandisk Corp WD Black SN750 / PC SN730 NVMe SSD​

As we see, the integrated Intel SATA Controller is 00:17.0, and then we have the ASM1062 on 03:00.0
We do a ls -al /sys/class/ata_port/ata* and gets
/sys/class/ata_port/ata1 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:17.0/ata1/ata_port/ata1​
/sys/class/ata_port/ata2 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:17.0/ata2/ata_port/ata2​
/sys/class/ata_port/ata3 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.6/0000:03:00.0/ata3/ata_port/ata3​
/sys/class/ata_port/ata4 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.6/0000:03:00.0/ata4/ata_port/ata4​

Here we see that the two first SATA-ports connects to Intel-SATA, which cant be passthroughed(is that a word?), and SATA port 3,4 is connected to the ASM1062, which CAN be passed trough to VM. So only 2 of 4 SATAs. The two first can be used with disk-passthrough, although Unraid really wants full control over disks to work as intended.

Allright...what about the brand new Max(that is so brand new, It has not been delivered by the time I write this)?

Joy! Here we see that all SATA-ports are connected to the ASM1166, and that means that we can give Unraid(or any other VM) full control over all 6 SATA slots in the TM. In theory...we will see for real in a couple of days.
I guess the reason we see 32 SATA-ports here, is because the ASM1166 supports Port-multiplying. Exactly how that works I leave to someone else to explain.

Setting up the new Hardware
Opened the Max, and replaced the USB-drive containing TOS with my Unraid USB drive. I also moved my drives from my DIY-rig to the Max.

The Max comes with reasonable BIOS-settings, just press "del"-key at boot to enter BIOS. This is the changes I have done(as far as I can remember...
  • Disabled:
    • Nic 1
    • HD Audio
    • Thunderbolt
    • Wifi/BT(although no module's present)
    • Boot TOS first
  • Enabled:
    • ASPM generally
    • Enabled ASPM on the two NVME-PCIe slots(also disabled AER on those because otherwise my WD Reds floods syslog with "Corrected errors"
    • Enabled ASPM on three "chipset"-PCIe-Lanes
  • Settings for the Max to start after power is connected
  • Set correct boot order

First Boot:
You really got to love Proxmox! I simply moved all disks, modified boot-order in BIOS, and everything works as before without any issues! The only thing that you might have to do is edit /etc/network/interfaces and change i/f. In my case I didn't have to.

When Idling the Max draws 12-13W after issuing
echo "powersave" | tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor​
powertop --auto-tune​

Edit: After a few weeks after writing the above, I have a really strange problem...After a reboot none, or sometimes a few, of my 5 SSDs shows up, and only a a complete Shutdown makes the disks usable again. I have tested with a HDD, and that one always works. I have tried to change everythinig in BIOS, but to no avail.


Next Step: Follow link below.
Part 2: Get Unraid up and running

Thanks a lot for your post, it helped me to configure the passthrough on my F4-424 Max.

I want to share the output of F4-424, it might help somebody:

No SSDs that disappears after reboot?
Interesting1: you have sata channels(1&2) connected to the Intel sata whereas I do not(see my above) Yours ls -al /sys/class/ata…… looks more like the F4-424 Pro. Also your lcpci sous not say “iris xe” on the vga…you sure it’s a MAX?

Interesting2: that Intel SATA could be forwarded…I tried that on a F4-424 Pro, but that didn’t work.(Some error on “No mechanism for resetting “ or something like that.

So far all NVME SSDs are working. I installed ProxmoxVE on the first and TrueNAS VM on the second SSD.

A good question, that's what I ordered and what the little sticker on the front says. How do I check if it's a F4-424 Max? I think the easiest way would be to check the CPU, the CPUs are different on Max and Pro

Interesting2: that Intel SATA could be forwarded…I tried that on a F4-424 Pro, but that didn’t work.(Some error on “No mechanism for resetting “ or something like that.
Click to expand...
The passthrough worked without any issues, all 4 HDDs appear in my TrueNAS VM.
 
On my F4-424 Max I checked the things which are different to the F4-424 Pro:
  • The Pro has 1 slot for RAM, the Max has 2 slots -> checked
  • The Pro has 2 USB-A ports on the back, the Max has 2 USB-A & 1 USB-C -> checked
  • The Pro has 2 x 2G5 LAN ports, the Max has 2 x 10G LAN ports -> checked

It's a F4-424 Max, that's confirmed.
 
The CPU gives it away :)
But check the sata chip...its different. Mine's an ASM1166 and your's an ASM1062, so theres obvious different hardware configurations here.
