Proxmox: HBA passthrough & second virtual controller not detected
I'm running DSM 6.2.3-25426 Update 3 / DS3615xs on Proxmox. I have my actual HBA card (JMB585-based one) connected to the VM using PCI passthrough and it works perfectly. However I added another disk using Proxmox:
However no matter what I do DSM doesn't see that disk in the UI. I tried changing "SCSI Controller":
VMWare PVSCSI - disk is visible in CLI only (fdisk)
VirtIO - not detected
LSI 53C895A - not detected
Some people suggested
It works!
I think I finally understood how this whole thing comes together and achieved exactly the configuration I wanted:
No synoinfo.conf modification is needed here. For this to work I had to set the boot config to include:
DiskIdxMap=0C0005 SataPortMap=157
But HOW did I get these values
What didn't make sense to me was how "maxdisks" (in synoinfo.conf, patched to 12 by Jun's loader), "SataPortMap", and "DiskIdxMap" play together
