    I use the ds3615xs version. Its working for years now and I see no advantage for me in using the ds3617xs.

    Before inserting the H200 into the server I flashed it with the newest firmware to 20.00.07. In the early versions of P20-firmware was a bug but version 20.00.04 and after are fine.

    You can have a deeper look here: https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/tutorial-updating-ibm-m1015-lsi-9211-8i-firmware-on-uefi-systems.11462/

     

    I dont know if it is the point where it hangs at your site but this is was I have done. Afterwards I put the card into the Server and passed it through the VM with success.

     

    I have the same h200 firmware flashed as you do. I managed to resolve the issue, although not as I would like it.

     

    It was failing because of an issue with proxmox doing the passthrough to the VM. when launching the VM, It would get a PCI address header failure (which apperently can be ignored), but I had my doubts. I installed ESXi on another drive and stuck that in the machine and eevrything just worked perfectly on my first attempt.

     

    Unfortunately, that means I have to migrate some of the other vms to ESXi and will have to use full VMs rather than just the containers. 

     

    Its unfortunate that I couldnt get proxmox working with it though.

     

    Have you updated to the latest version of DSM? I'm kinda worried about that potentially breaking things.

    I use a Dell H200 flashed to IT-Mode and it works very good with the loader 1.02b (under DSM 6.1.3 Update 4 as a VM under ESXi 6.5 Update 1 as passthrough :smile: ). The H200 is similar to the IBM M1015.

     

     

     

     

    I also have an h200 flashed to IT-Mode and a pass-through from proxmox to Xpenology. However I cannot get it to find the hard drives that are attached. I can see through a serial terminal that it is loading the drivers for it when it boots. Do you have any insight into why this might be the case? What synology device was your loader for? I'm using the synology ds3617xs version.
