I can’t even figure out how to tell if it’s supported or not. If it is supported, I can’t figure out how to enable it. If it is enabled, idk where I should be seeing it in proxmox!
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Ok. So they are different?
How do I tell which motherboards support IOMMU?
I can’t find it as a filter or search option on any websites…?
Yes they are different. VT-d is purely a function of the CPU (passed the BIOS enabling option).
First you will want to look at the output of
acpidump | egrep "DMAR|IVRS", then you will also want to very that IOMMU groups don’t group your GFX with something that won’t be passed through using something like: https://gist.github.com/r15ch13/ba2d738985fce8990a4e9f32d07c6adaThis is in proxmox?
How can I tell if my mobo even supports it?
Run those two commands in the command line, post the result here
sorry this took so long… you know, life. trying that command altogether, I get this response: -bash: acpidump: command not found
trying just egrep “DMAR|IVRS” (in case they are two commands) seems to hang the terminal session.
I tried following a guide to enable PICe passthrough and get this. One important thing, there is no discrete GPU at the moment, I’m trying to pass through an HBA…

This may also help, my HBA is there:

You should be good to go. Make sure vfio is loaded in the modules-load.d
Make sure the module options are set correctly and the kernel module is blacklisted in
/etc/modprobe.d/vfio.confMake sure.IOMMU is enabled in your kernel command line (ex via grub):
intel_iommu=on iommu=ptThis is probably not complete, but it should get you pretty far into allowing you to add the pci device in the hardware config of your vm
Its your CPU and yes it does support it as all Intel CPUs made within the last few years have support.
