share with everybody:

 

so both passthru and graphics device have SBIOS requirement to limit MMIO addresses to 42-bits.

I get the answer from VMware support today.

the pci card is TI dsp.

 

 

below is log:

2013-02-17T12:20:07.184Z| vmx| I120: PCIPassthru: 0b:00.0 : Device BAR 2 requested 64-bit memory address that exceeded MPN type (66038343401472).

2013-02-17T12:20:07.184Z| vmx| I120: PCIPassthru: 0b:00.0 : Device BAR 4 requested 64-bit memory address that exceeded MPN type (66037269659648).

2013-02-17T12:20:07.184Z| vmx| I120: Module DevicePowerOn power on failed.

 

 

 

In fact ,I change another 32 bit pci card to limit the bios pci address below 42.but the esxi crashed with purple screen.

 

I want to know whether there is a lot of limit about the pcie passthrough ?

first ,ACS for switch

second,bios enable vt-d,vt

other requirements such as 6 pcie at most,..........?
