Thanks to ScottMerrilees and Sharix, I now have my Lynx Point AHCI (Z87 chipset) running in passtrough mode on Esxi 5.5 upd 2 ![]()
I can confirm that the provided solution works for me too. I tested it succesfully with ZFSGuru as a VM.
For the novices:
- Activate the ssh service in Vsphere Client using the instructions in this link: VMware KB: Using ESXi Shell in ESXi 5.x
- Use Putty or any other terminal program to connect to you Esxi SSH server.
- Use vi, for example: vi /etc/vmware/passthru.map
- Add these 2 lines at the bottom of the file:
# INTEL Lynx Point AHCI
8086 8c02 d3d0 false
- If you don't now how to use vi, than google for a manual.
- Reboot the Esxi server.
- Add the Lynx Pont AHCI to the passtrough devices and reboot the Esxi server again.
- All done!
