[Fedora-xen] Possible to delegate hardware to domU?
Hi, is it possible to hide hardware from dom0 and delegate it to a domU with the out-of-the-box Fedora xen? I.e. with pciback. I would like to delegate a network interface to one of my domU''s. Can anybody confirm either that it is or that it is not possible? Thanks. - Arik

I''m not sure about Fedora XEN (I''m only using fedora on guests), but with RHEL/Centos 5 as dom0, this works for me to hide a USB interface: title CentOS (2.6.18-8.1.6.el5xen) root (hd0,1) kernel /xen.gz-2.6.18-8.1.6.el5 dom0_mem=512M module /vmlinuz-2.6.18-8.1.6.el5xen ro root=/dev/k/root pciback.hide=(00:09.0)(00:09.1)(00:09.2) noirqdebug module /initrd-2.6.18-8.1.6.el5xen.img
