Auggie Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I enabled both Virtualization Technology and VT-d in BIOS (latest version as of Dec 2016) but unRAID still shows IOMMU as "Disabled." Presently, I don't have any PCI devices that need to be passed through but I'm curious if the "Disabled" status is because of that, if unRAID somehow does not recognize that VT-d is actually active in BIOS, or if this board is somehow incompatible with unRAID's IOMMU functionality. This is for future endeavors in case I expand the role of this server which may require PCI passthrough. Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 If that board has the Pentium G630T listed in your sig installed, then IOMMU will always be disabled as the CPU does not support it http://ark.intel.com/products/53484/Intel-Pentium-Processor-G630T-3M-Cache-2_30-GHz Quote Link to comment
Auggie Posted December 17, 2016 Author Share Posted December 17, 2016 Thanks for that! Didn't know to check the CPU specs since the BIOS allows me to enable VT-d; you'd think that if that feature wasn't available, the BIOS shouldn't allow that option. Any who, now that I just setup my very first VM (Windows 10) I was planning to change the CPU eventually to at least get more cores than the current dual-core setup. Quote Link to comment
