How do we backup or export a VM which is located on datastore1 ?
(my ESXi knowledge is limited)
My goal is to be able to backup & restore.
(since initial creation, I now have 10GbE LAN for everything so don’t really need to run it from the internal 1TB datastore1)
I have never been successful with this fully. The time I used it I went through the wizard and it worked kinda-- I had issues with network devices which I recreated. Now the lab at work does this for me.
Oh cool you got it working. The steps to install the drivers on F35 if you haven’t done it are:
dnf install dnf-plugins-core
dnf copr enable jdanecki/intel-opencl
dnf install intel-opencl level-zero intel-level-zero-gpu
Next thing I need help with (for the 7000 and 8000 CPUs) - Beignet,.
Know where that might be?
Not that I know of. The copr project that I saw doesn’t work–
I was able to build beignet myself in F35, so it’s very possible.
Someone could create a copr project to build it for this. Not sure if anyone in plex team can do this.
I think plex though could change it’s architecture to not to use Beignet-- though my knowledge is lacking here. I know OpenCL 2.1 support is there for Intel 7th Generation.
I’m trying to get Engineering to free up the time to build Beignet / OpenCL for the NAS platforms. Still no progress.
IF ICR will work for the 7000’s and higher, meaning Beignet is not needed, then I am satisfied.
PMS doesn’t look for the specific packages by name. My installer does. It ensures the package(s) are installed for the transcoder to be able to get to the QSV ASIC (transcode) and the IGPU for tonemapping using OpenCL.
If it doesn’t need Beignet to get to the openCL layer for the tonemapping then great.
If that is the case, can you test if opencl works with 7th gen?
As for your script, looking at packages works, but for people who build (like me) or different distros, it would be better to check directly if the libraries exist using a combination of “ldconfig -p” where you can grep for libigc, libigdgmm, etc., and use a combination of “clinfo” which looks at /etc/OpenCL/vendors, and such as “LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=iHD vainfo”
I thought about doing that then you run into the people , like Gentoo, who put their stuff all over the place.
I unfortunately NEED the standardization for support and documentation purposes.

Those who are sufficiently skilled to know it’s right can safely ignore the warnings.
Those warnings don’t stop the installation. Warn != abort 
I’ll continue to build the package here; create the postinstall; then start trial builds to see how badly I can break it.
When I get something that works, I’ll post it up ASAP
Great glad you are making it. I will try it once done. Thanks.
I guess either way to check, there are issues.
I’ll build first package tonight. %post is almost done.
FYI. other things you’ll get.
Hand’s off installing in a container (docker or LXC). It does know to avoid the udevadm bug.
Base scripting work is ready. cleanup to finish. Testing begins

Looks good-- Only comment is the OpenCL library as I wrote above is “ocl-icd” not “ocl-icd-libopencl1”.
It shouldn’t say “dpkg” but rather yum/dnf.
I’m also not sure how you are going to bypass Beignet-- but that’s going to be from your testing 
Do you have a CometLake / RocketLake ?
I can’t get it to work without Beignet .
I have fixed the above warning messages – that was “noise”.
It’s otherwise up and running with the new RocketLake-capable transcoder.
I do have a Comet Lake processor
Care to spin up a new (test) server to avoid potentially contaminating your production and ride the wild software ? 
Please check /tmp/plexinstaller.log. Its inventory should be exact.
Looks good from what I see:

A little bit of formatting to fix but otherwise looks good for fresh paintjob
But I’m still not able to do tonemapping which I just tested. I wasn’t sure if there is more for you to do to make that work: On quick look the logs said, Failed to get number of OpenCL platforms
Grab the logs please (DEBUG) so I can take them to the transcoder team.
I think that’s a known problem they have with this transcoder update.
You had tonemapping before?
I tested with version 1.22.0.4163 and the tonemap works in hardware.
