Cannot use Isolated GPU for Virtual Machine in TrueNAS Scale.

Description

I have an issue similar to this issue on the TrueNAS Discord server::

I have also made my own thread about it:


It is similar to the support ticket(s) here:




And these old threads:

Situation: I have a Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti that I would like to use for a Windows 10 VM. I have an additional Nividia 3050 that I am using for the TrueNAS Scale OS.

I have isolated the 2080 Ti GPU, under System Settings > Advanced Options. I have then restarted them system. Then I've attempted to build a Windows 10 VM using the 2080 Ti GPU in the "GPU" settings section.

However after configuring the setup options, and when I click to build the VM, I receive this error:

[EINVAL] gpu_settings.isolated_gpu_pci_ids: pci_0000_09_00_3, pci_0000_09_00_0, pci_0000_09_00_2, pci_0000_09_00_1 GPU pci slot(s) are not available or a GPU is not configured.

I have also tried to remove and then re-add the GPU to the VM, and after clicking "Save" I still receive this error.

This issue also appears when attempting to add a GPU that is not isolated (the VM still allows that GPU to be added).

I have attached the error details to the post.

As a result, the VM is not utilizing my extra GPU. Naturally it does not have a "display" option appearing in the VMs section of TrueNAS, so I am unable to even visually display the desktop of the VM for configuring a new install from the windows10.iso file.

I want to be able to use this GPU for a VM. I had purchased the extra 3050 GPU recently, specifically in order to free up my 2080 Ti as an extra GPU for use by a VM.

Please help me find a resolution or a workaround as this is a dead stop to my project.

Thank you. I have upgraded from from SCALE-24.04.2.5 (DragonFish) to 25.04-RC.1. I attempted to replicate the issue and I captured the results in a PART 2 of this ticket. Please see link below:

Please upgrade to 25.04-RC.1 to test and report back if the problem persists. Unfortunately we cannot investigate old versions since it seems to be an edge case and we are not doing non-critical fixes for the stable releases at this time.

Thank you. I'm just looking for a resolution, even if temporary, because this issue puts a stop to my project dead in its tracks. If there is a step by step fix to this let me know.
