On AMD platforms you will likely see AMD-Vi as the option. Sometimes in different system firmware, you will see IOMMU. These are the options you want to enable. Of course, since this is Proxmox VE, you will want to ensure your basic virtualization is on as well while you are in the ...
Enable IOMMU for L0: Before we can proceed, we'd need to make sure the L0 hypervisor (bare-metal PVE) has IOMMU enabled, which can be done by tuning the kernel command-line parameter. As mentioned in Proxmoxdocumentation, you need to addintel_iommu=onin the bootloader configuration file...
