VMWare ESXI 4.0 and PCI pass-through

by springy77 . Updated 16 years, 11 months ago

I am running ESXI 4.0 and trying to use a Mainpine PCIX fax card with pass-through setup on ESX. Under Configuration on the ESX server it recognizes it and I have the green icon next to it. Added it as a PCI device to my VM and now when I try to turn on my VM I get the following errors in the Events tab:

“PCIPassthru: PCI Memory mapped page (0xda1b4) is outside the PCI Hole range (0xc0000-0xfffff). Please add pciHole.start=”3489″ to the configuration file and then power on the VM.”

“PCIPassthru: PCI Memory mapped page (0x1da1b2) is outside the PCI Hole range (0xc0000-0xfffff). Please add pciHole.start=”7585″ to the configuration file and then power on the VM”

I tried adding the requested lines to the config file in /etc/vmware and did not work.

Anyone come across this before or have any ideas?? I am in a time crunch with getting this up and running so any help is appreciated. Attachment of screenshots included.

Thanks,

Paige
