Does/will the OpenSolaris Xen integration permit PCI passthough? Reason being I would like to consolidate a MythTV box and run it as a DomU under Solaris - and for that I would need to put the DVB tuner cards under the DomU. I see a few murmours in google that this may work - any indications of if it could here would be great. Thanks, Adrian This message posted from opensolaris.org

There is talk of adding the ability to give domU''s "driver domain" status, where you could assign devices directly to a given domain. But so far you just can''t do that.

There''ll be many releases of Solaris and Xen over time. :) At this point I''m certain it won''t be in the first release we do of Xen with OpenSolaris, as the Xen support does not exist. Joe
