16:01:58 Hi all, looking to run smartos as my hypervisor for my home lab perhaps some can give me a bit of guidence. Basically looking to use bhyve to create a vm and passing through my mellanox card this will handle the pppoe connection and routing. Is this do-able in theory? 16:38:24 openstandards: I think so, but pci passthrough only works on Intel CPUs, so if you have an AMD CPU you wouldn't be able to do that. 16:39:19 You don't need to pass through the physical nic to do a pppoe connection. 16:39:24 but I certainly was able to pass through a USB controller into a bhyve VM on my Intel machine and the Linux VM was able to use it just fine. 16:39:33 bahamat makes a good point too though. 17:11:45 bahamat is correct. 17:14:15 If you're doing something like "I need to do virtualized hardware testing", that's one thing. But if your goal is to just connect to your ISP and make the network *work*, then passing through a device is not the right thing to do. 18:42:42 my mellanox card is unsupported in smartos it's a connectx-3 so was looking to past it into a vm to get it supported that was the plan anyway 18:43:35 then use it within opnsense which has support for it 18:51:52 I've got access to two rj45 on my mobo (link aggregation) connect that to my switcht then use the mellanox 10g which has two qsfp ports use one for a direct connection to my workstation and use the other with a sfp adapter and network module that gets connected to my hg612 18:54:25 I've been using linux for many years now but tried smartos a while a go and love how easy it is to create a zone. 20:13:08 when i do prtdiag it lists my mellanox in use, that means i haven't black listed? 22:09:01 Triton DataCenter Office Hours will be happening this Thursday 05/25/2023 (tomorrow) once again at 11PT/2ET/18:00 UTC.
