I am running ESXi 5.5 on a DL360 G5 and the option for PCI passthrough shows 'Host does not support passthrough configuration'.

I have enabled VT in the BIOS under processor options and I have x64 guests.

Does anyone know if the DL360 G5 supports PCI passthrough or is there anything I can change to support this feature? I want to pass the graphics card installed to the VM.

Processor: Intel Xeon X5450

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks, David

No it doesn't support PCI passthrough. The CPU/BIOS feature you require is VT**-d** or IOMMU.

The VT option you can see is to enable virtualisation extensions which are required for 64bit OS, paravirtualisation, etc. But do not include directed IO.

No, sorry, the DL360 G5 does not support Intel VT Directed I/O (VT-d)
