Baremetal to proxmox issues

[CSOL]

Hi all,

 

Trying to migrate an existing installation to proxmox by passing through the onboard sata controller, problem is another controller is detected when mapping sata ports at loader creation (I think it's the SCSI controller you can't remove from proxmox), system comes up as new rather than being given the migrate option, can anyone assist? It worked great when I tried ESXi.

2 suggestions :

1/ You switch from q35 to i440fx

2/ You set SataPortMap & DiskIdxMap acordingly with your needs.

 

But without a screenshot of your current "hardware" section from proxmox VM, it will be hard to asssit you.

 

Edit :

Except for the real SMART info inside DSM, do you really need to passthrough your sata controler ?

 

my actual configuration without passing through my LSI SAS card :

Thank you I will try your suggestion and report back with the existing and proposed settings for satamap etc.

Interesting, do you think migration would work by passing just the  disks as I don't want to start fresh.

 

Also, what do your variables look like? Sataportmap and diskidxmap?

 

Thanks

It won't help you to have mine.

 

Again, post a screenshot of your hardware configuration.

Did you add the necessary serial port to diagnose boot ?

 

ARPL and TCRP loaders have an option to look at current detected SATA drivers / board.

I got it to work in the end, I couldn't boot with either virtio or e1000 network, Realtek just booted, no migration even, straight to my DSM. 

 

Thanks for your help.
