Hello,
Does hotplug and passthrough work on illumos to connect an nvidia eGPU via thunderbolt to a bhyve Linux or lx zone?
The eGPU is not powered on 24/7. That’s why I "need" hotplug.
Thanks.

I don't know if thunderbolt devices even work on illumos or not. If it's "just" another PCIe bridge, maybe? Answer that first and then we can answer the rest.

I'm sorry I don't have more information for you on this.
