Memory at fc000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 82bfįlags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 64, IRQ 67 I then realized the VM now had two Video Cards:Ġ4:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 530 (rev 06) (prog-if 00 ) Then added a new PCI Device and selected the Video Card from the drop down list:Īfter I powered on the Linux VM, I actually still saw the console through Vsphere Web Client and the monitor that was connected to the ESXi host didn’t show anything. I just shutdown the VM and then in the Web Client I went to Virtual Machines -> VM -> Actions -> Edit Settings. While VMDirectPath I/O can improve performance of a virtual machine, enabling it makes several important features of vSphere unavailable to the virtual machine, such as Suspend and Resume, Snapshots, Fault Tolerance, and vMotion. I did have SSH enabled on the host and I was able to SSH to the host and confirm it booted up fine and the auto start process started booting up all the VMs.Īnother FYI is that with PCI Passthrough you can’t take snapshots of the VM (this could impact your Backups). This was discussed in stuck after reboot: “vmkapei loaded successfully”. This is actually expected since the Hypervisor enables the passthough at this point and you won’t see the boot up process any more. Vmkapi_v2_2_0_vmkernel_shim successfully loaded After I rebooted I thought the ESXi was hung cause it just showed the following on the boot up: I didn’t have to do any extra configuration for that. Then I rebooted the host and under the Passthough column I saw Active. In the vSphere Web Client, I just went to Host -> Manage -> Hardware -> PCI Devices -> Toggle passthough on the Video Card: NUC5i5MYHE Intel HD Graphics problem (ESXi passthrough)īut I guess I got lucky.ESXI 6 - PCI passthrough for Intel Sky Lake chipset onboard VGA, SATA.

Looking at other forums it looks like people didn’t have much luck with that video card: 00000:000:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 530
