Hi,
I’m really new to GPU passthrough and Linux. Now I’ve two questions, because I really don’t understand a few things:
(Things I’ve done so far: https://pastebin.com/xMfd1SzW
My System:
- Fedora 29 / Windows 10
- TR 1950X
- ROG Zenith X399
- 4x 8GB 3200MhZ CL14 RAM
- GTX 970 (Host)
- RTX 2080 (Guest)
- 2x 970 EVO NVMe
1.:
I really don’t understand how to pin my CPU. I’ve seen a lot of sample configurations, but I don’t understand the functionality of “emulatorpin” and “iothreadpin”. So I can’t configure them correctly.
This is my current configuration: win10.xml
CPU informations: lscpu
lstopo:
My goal is to get a 12 core 24 thread system, so this would be my approach for the first lines:
<vcpu placement='static'>12</vcpu>
<iothreads>24</iothreads>
<cputune>
<vcpupin vcpu='0' cpuset='0'/>
<vcpupin vcpu='1' cpuset='6'/>
<vcpupin vcpu='2' cpuset='1'/>
<vcpupin vcpu='3' cpuset='7'/>
<vcpupin vcpu='4' cpuset='2'/>
<vcpupin vcpu='5' cpuset='8'/>
<vcpupin vcpu='6' cpuset='3'/>
<vcpupin vcpu='7' cpuset='9'/>
<vcpupin vcpu='8' cpuset='4'/>
<vcpupin vcpu='9' cpuset='10'/>
<vcpupin vcpu='10' cpuset='5'/>
<vcpupin vcpu='11' cpuset='11'/>
But how do I have to configure the remaining lines?
<emulatorpin cpuset='0-1'/>
<iothreadpin iothread='1' cpuset='0-1'/>
</cputune>
2.:
So far I have a running VM with win10, and my RTX2080 is displayed in device manager. But it’s showing the code 43. I thought adding <hidden state='on'/>
would remove this error…
My configuration: win10.xml
Is there something I’m missing?
I would be really grateful for any kind of help!
