DL385 G6 VMDirectPath IOMMU

Hi!

Could please some tell me if the Server should
support VMDirectPath / IOMMU

The Chipset of the Server is a Serverworks HT-2100 Northbridge and HT-1000 Southbridge Chipset.

The CPU should, but I can't find any options for IOMMU in the Bios.

THX Chris

Yes thanks. I need this for a current vsphere install, I need to pass a NIC thru and can't find where to enable it in BIOS.

I just opened a case online with HP support, I'll post response when I get it.

If it is not in the BIOS, maybe it is enabled anyway and you can go to the next step and configure on the ESX server in the "advanced settings".

If it does not work, well, at least you have tried it.
