Proxmox

Unraid VM

Unraid needs a USB stick to boot from. Legacy advice on the Internet is that Proxmox won't boot a VM from a USB stick, but that's wrong with at least Proxmox V8. Config for VM

  • q35 machine
  • UEFI/OVMF
  • No EFI disk
  • Some GB of RAM
  • Host CPU cores, 2 of them (the VM is tied to the USB stick anyway, so may as well tie it to the host cores)
  • PCI passthrough - SATA controller

SATA controller was assigned to a resource mapping at the Datacenter level in the Proxmox UI tree, then made available for the PCI passthrough. Two USB sticks were also configured in resource mappings; one for the boot stick, and the other for temporary use in the Unraid array.
