      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have a passthrough capable board, and want to passthrough a LSI 2308 HBA to a vm. All I have seen so far are instructions to click on a vsphere gui icons. Is there a way to set this up with esxi command lines, or editing config files? I have seen that with vsphere:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P style="font-family: Arial; color: #666666; padding-left: 30px;"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Note&lt;/STRONG&gt;: The configuration changes are saved in the &lt;SPAN style="font-family: 'Courier New';"&gt;/etc/vmware/esx.conf&lt;/SPAN&gt; file. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P style="font-family: Arial; color: #666666; padding-left: 30px;"&gt;The PCI slot number where the device was connected is &lt;SPAN style="font-family: 'Courier New';"&gt;00:0b:0&lt;/SPAN&gt;. It is recorded as:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P style="font-family: 'Courier New'; color: #666666; padding-left: 30px;"&gt;/device/000:11.0/owner = "passthru"&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P style="font-family: Arial; color: #666666; padding-left: 30px;"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Note&lt;/STRONG&gt;: &lt;SPAN style="font-family: 'Courier New';"&gt;11&lt;/SPAN&gt; is the decimal equivalent of the hexadecimal &lt;SPAN style="font-family: 'Courier New';"&gt;0b&lt;/SPAN&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="font-size: 10pt;"&gt;Can I just edit this line:&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;/device/00000:002:00.0/vmkname = "vmhba1"&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;to this:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New';"&gt;/device/00000:002:00.0/owner = "passthru"&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I don't want to need windows, vsphere, etc just to setup a passthrough. Is there a way to do this?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I don't know if the workstation/fusion pro vmware products enable an advanced config to set the pci device to a vm either....&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
