Ran into a second error after swapping out a pass-through device in ESXi. This device was the same make and model as the previous device.
Failed - Module 'DevicePowerOn' power on failed. * Module 'DevicePowerOn' power on failed. * Missing pciPassthru0.id entry in the configuration file. * Failed to start the virtual machine.
To resolve it, try these steps:
- Completely remove the old and/or new pass-through device from the Guest configuration
- Save the Guest configuration
- Confirm you are able to successfully boot the Guest without any pass-through device
- After the Guest starts, shut it down
- Add the new pass-through device to the Guest configuration.
- Save the Guest configuration
- You should now be able to boot it successfully with the new pass-through device
