Standard (non-express) - card PCI Passthrough/VMDirectPath broken in ESXi 5.5?

Hello

I use VMDirectPath/PCI passthrough with 2 cards in an ESXi 5 host environment:

-The first card is a standard-PCI (not express), a "AVM B1 ISDN-Controller.

-The second is a card PCIe, a "Renesas USB 3.0 controller"

The two cards passthrough'ed work correctly with ESXi 5.0 for a long time...

After an upgrade to ESXi 5.5, the relay of the card to the PCI standard is no longer in effect:

-Two cards are listed very well as passthrough devices ' ed in the vSphere client

-Two cards are configured with "msiEnabled = FALSE" in the virtual machine, no error occur at power to the top of the virtual machine

-Two cards are listed without errors in the Device Manager of Windows Server 2003 in the VM - no exclamation point appears

-L'USB 3.0 controller works fine, devices are recognized and are accessible

- But, the driver for the PCI ISDN card indicates an error in the Event Viewer system log in the Windows virtual machine: "the card can not be found" and the map does not work

After re - install of the 'old' ESXi 5.0 and restore a backup of the configuration, all works fine again.

A ' cat vmware.log | grep-i CPPI"VM file log shows no relevant difference regarding PCI passthrough between ESXi 5.0 and 5.5.

No idea what changed in ESXi 5.5 compared to 5.0 in PCI card passthrough/VMDirectPath ESXi?

Thank you

The card works fine now with the recent update ESXi 5.5 2!

  • Satellite A200 - I can boot from PCI express card?

    I have a laptop A200.

    I recently bought a PCI expresscard HD. Many people have asked this question already on many sites and regarding several different brands and models of laptops. According to anadtech and other techys the only way to do an ExpressCard hd is updated the BIOS. During the installation of Windows it says that it canoe on the device because the BIOS is not able to boot from it.

    Toshiba creates a new BIOS to allow starting the expresscard hd or not Toshiba have a laptop model that will allow already, as im thinking of buying a new laptop but only if this option is available.

    There someone using windows vista/xp knows a way round.

  • Re: Map Satellite M60-104 PCI Slot or Express Card Slot?

    Hello
    I'm confused about what type of adapter should I buy for my expansion slot, on the button, it says that my laptop have card PCI II type: type: express card slot.

    So far what I've read, it's the type of card PCI II differ from Express card. I just need to know what my machine supports, a card 54mm or 34 mm card, 16-bit or 32-bit, I don't know, I need to buy an adapter for esata interface to connect my NAS via esata to my laptop for more speed.

    Can someone enlighten me on this point, please?
    concerning
    Praveen

    Did you look in the user manual?
    There are details on the M60 Series.

    But AFAIK the M60-104 unit supports the Cardbus 32-bit/PC-Card 16-Bit interface.
    For example, you can use 1 x PCMCIA Type II only and 1 x ExpressCard.

    • Memory 6 GB
    • Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
    • Service Pack 1
    • The map of USB 3.0 pci card the "HP-lable" is printed. Therefore an alaaa by HP original card.

    My HD portabale with USB3.0 interface is not recognized. Also all USB 2.0 memory sticks are NOT regonised by this card pci of USB 3.0.

    I searched on the web, this forum ect. and posible all software and drivers updated.

    Now at least there's no sign of escalmation in the Windows Device Manager.

    There are no errors in Windows and by double clicking on each and evry device a puppy window says: "device is functioning! (But when I put in a usb in the port USB3 device, nothing happens, not even a new drive appears under 'Computer'.)

    OK maybe the card is the default, so I bought at a local PC store a new one (Konig CMP-PCIE2USB3), but same problem.

    Well maybe the PCI slot is the problem... I put the card HP in the free location. But still no luck.

    Now I have 2 PCI USB 3.0 Express card in my office, but no USB 3.0 for my USB 3.0 devices connection.

    All USB 2.0 ports are working well.

    Help, please.

    I uninstall the original card and don't forget to remove the driver. Then install the Konig CMP-PCIE2USB3 and install the driver from the Web site. Don't forget to attach the molex 4 pin of your power supply.

  • Card PCI Express causes conflict w/ethernet card

    When I install the card PCI/MXI express, it causes a conflict with my existing ethernt card and will not allow the CPU to register on the network.  When I remove the PCI card, the problem goes away.  Is there something I need to set up to prevent this?

    What the MXI device?  What is the model number and part (e.g., PCIe-8361 and C 195315 - 01 L)?  I've seen this behaviour before with a PCIe-8361 and to relieve this symptom I made sure a PXI system power has been connected to the MXI controller before turning off the computer.  I would be interested in hearing if this works for you.

    See you soon!

  • Card PCI-E passthrough

    Hello

    I have a HP DL380p with ESXi 5.1.0 u1 gen8. The machine has a riser card PCI-E with a customized PCI-E card called "VP Mark IV" made and used by a relatively small company. The map is shown with 'lspci' or ' esxcli pci list material. The command esxcli tells me that the map isn't passthrough capable. No matter what I try, I can't it appears in the list of devices passthru.

    Because the map is behind a PCI bridge I disabled the control of ACS: "esxcfg-advcfg - k TRUE disableACSCheck.

    My question:

    (1) I want to move this device to a guest operating system. VMware does need a driver for this card to be able to get through?

    (2) how VMware to determine if a device is capable of passthru?

    (3) any idea what is the problem here?


    I have attached a document with outputs of:
    lspci - vp

    esxcli list of pci hardware

    cat /etc/vmware/esx.conf

    Just to know you that we have rescheduled the class of device and PCI passthrough works now!

    new class of device:

    Device class: 0 x 1180

    Device class name: Signal Processing controller

    Fixed a problem.

    Hello

    I guess that your average slot on the right side of the laptop.
    Well, the express card expansion slot can accommodate two standard module formats: an expressCard/34 and expresscard/54 module to the module. An expressCard module is small, modular add-in card technology based on USB and PCI Express interface.

  • GROUP - "failure of the ack TLB invalid" or a host freezes when voltage VM with PCI passthrough

    Hello

    in recent weeks, I have the problem that my ESXi host freezes sometimes when the power of a Windows VM to 10 with a NVidia Quadro 2200 PCI passthrough and today I received a GROUP.

    psod-04.04.2016.JPG

    In my view, what happens first after installation of the patch released on 23/02/2016.

    Is it possible that an update is responsible for my problem? I think a new clean install with 6.0U1b to test whether an update is causing my problem.

    In the vmkernel.log, this line should be the following line when you start the virtual machine is:

    PCI: 717: 0000:84:00.0 device: TV/VC (0 x 1) card restore offset 114

    The line before this line is the last line of the vmkernel.log:

    NET: 2441: on the network of the VM, 0x200000b portID eth0 wks10

    When the virtual machine is running I have no problem...

    Kind regards

    Stefan

    Okay I replaced my server hardware and re-use all (NVidia Quadro, card QLogic FC and Teradici Apex) expansion cards.

    The problem disappeared, so something on the motherboard or cpu was broken...

  • Card PCI WALN Mini Intel 4965AGN and SP 6100

    Thank you

    Jeroen

    Hi Jeroen,

    I have to disappoint you, the map does not fit into your machine.

    This is the map you´ve says:
    http://www.ThinkWiki.org/wiki/Intel_PRO/Wireless_4965AGN_Mini-PCI_Express_Adapter
    It s a MINI-PCI card "Fast", but your Satellite 6100 card has just a MINI-PCI, but NOT "express". It s just a MINI-PCI slot.

    Here´s a MINI-PCI Express slot: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_Express_Mini_Card

    Which is o so YOU WILL NEED a card because it fits in your home: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini_PCI

    Just look for cards that are suitable for a "MINI-PCI" housing The best would be to take an atheros card, but you can also try a product intel.

  • Satellite A200-1 body weight: compatibility with 3 G cards Express cards

    I have an A200-1 of body weight, and I need to connect a Vodafone 3 G card inside media. I understand that the laptop has a ' shaped connector in the express card slot, which is not compatible with the finished dish card 3G.

    Does anyone know of an adaptor I can get, and if so, where to go?

    Well as you say this laptop supports a simply Express card slot.
    The Express card expansion slot supports two standard module formats;
    An Express card/34 module and a module of the express 54 card.

    If your card 3G does not support one of this form and will not be able to use it in the Express card slot!
    Make sure that this card supports one of these two the specification before you try to insert!

    Hello

    Since the following specifications, you can not pass of RAM:

    http://h20564.www2.HP.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docid=emr_na-c01123783-1

    It supports 2 GB RAM max,

    You can use the ExpressCard - USB3.0 but you must make sure that it has. FYI: I have test after 3 or 4 years back and from my experience, just lose money. They have the best driver now.

    Kind regards.
