the system is operational though there are some issues with the USB devices. it isn't as fast or powerful as the setup linus used, but it works after connecting the peripherals on the io panel and switching between mouse1 for vm 1 and mouse2 for vm 2 in unraid. when you set the machine to a specific machine, the mouse-guid updates accordingly. adjusting the xml to the right "mouse" guid makes the change effective. some tweaking helps it run smoothly until the vms restart, after which the mouse gets a new ID again. there seems to be no clear method to route different USB hubs to each VM, but linus was able to access the display USB hub. anyone with more insight would be appreciated. thanks in advance – rig spoiler

You can't connect USB devices directly unless you install a PCIe adapter and run it in a virtual machine. Also, consider switching away from Unraid and using platforms like ESXi, Proxmox, Xen, or OVIRT—they offer stronger support and greater reliability.

Linus chose Unraid because it efficiently utilized every PCI slot available.

Since it was sponsored. Recommend avoiding similar approaches. For versatility, consider purchasing thin clients for each user.

We already have the rig ready, now we’re moving forward. We’re switching from thin clients to the free Limetech Unraid version 7Gamer. The original setup was helpful, but some key configuration details were missing from the video.

Issue arises because this setting isn't recognized. Consider using thinclients or isolating separate systems.

Yes, these solutions support GPU passthrough.

They all work, but Esxi and Xen perform more efficiently since you can allocate one GPU across several VMs.

It might be worth revisiting Proxmox later. As for connecting a GPU to several VMs, that setup isn't straightforward and would require careful configuration.

Nvidia offers a grid system that integrates standard GPU drivers and manages cores and VRAM efficiently. You can also divide it into software layers, allowing the hypervisor to route requests accordingly. While this flexibility exists, your options are restricted by the drivers the hypervisor provides—currently Esxi only supports DirectX 9 in this configuration. Personally, I’d explore Xen and Esxi if you’re interested in commercial hypervisors.
