Conguring NVMe devices as passthrough device to
the guest operating system, ESXi host stops
responding and results in PSOD
Description:
When the NVMe devices are congured as passthrough device to the guest operating system, the host system
stops functioning and can result in data corruption.
Applies to: ESXi 6.0 U2
Solution: You must manually set the Virtual Machine (VM) Memory Mapped Input Output (MMIO) space to 2 GB in
the .vmx le by using the following steps:
NOTE: Do not replace any hardware components while performing these steps.
1 All the VMs congured memory must be reserved. If each VM has 2 GB of memory allocated, you should
reserve all 2 GB. To do this by using the vSphere Client, select the Reserve all guest memory option from the
Memory drop-down menu under the Resources tab in a Virtual Machine’s Settings window. For more
information, see the VMware Knowledge Base article 1010789.
2 For VMs that have more than 2 GB of congured memory, add this parameter to the .vmx le of the VM:
pciHole.start = “2048”.
