...equipment (CPU, Memory, TV-cards etc). The requirements/wishes on the new motherboard are 2 Ethernet ports and 2 PCI slots. It would also be good if it would support VT-d. I''ve found two boards that would fulfill my requirements; Gigabyte GA-X48-DS5, Gigabyte GA-X48-DS4 According to the VTdHowTo (http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/VTdHowTo) X48 chipset supports VT-d. But not all manufactures have enabled it. Does anyone know if VT-d is enabled for the motherboards above (or any other motherboard that would support my requirements)? /Andreas _______________________________________________...

Hello, I am looking into building a workstation using Xen to host several operating systems. Looking at the pci passthrough requirements of Xen4.1 on the VTdHowTo<http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/VTdHowTo>page, I am a little puzzled with the fact that only Intel Core2Duo (with VT-x), Core2Quad, i7 and Core i5 (vPro Brand) CPU''s are supported while motherboards with the i55x0 chipset are supported (for example the Supermicro server mainboard:...

...he BIOS needs to be updated to R0047 for it to be enbled. (or at least later than R0044 which mine was shipped with) I tested exporting a nic to a smothwall hvm domU, works fine. Exporting a 3Ware 9xxx series Raid controller to a WinXP domU also works flawlessly! http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/VTdHowTo <- Are there any maintainers here who can update the wiki?

I''m wondering if FLR really must be supported by the PCI card for PCI/VGA passthrough to work or if it will work anyway. I have read in the VTdHowTo that trying to pass through hardware without the FLR feature will result in an error. At the same time I read on a pdf document on the VMWare website (http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/techpaper/vsp_4_vmdirectpath_host.pdf) that: ----------------------- Reset Method Possible values for the rese...

Dear List, I need to make an Aladdin eToken Pro visible in a Linux guest HVM, but I cannot assign the device to any domU, while it''s being blocked by the dom0. To avoid this trouble I would like to pass the whole USB bus to the domU directly, via PCI passthrough. Now I use xen 3.3.0 from xensource and xen kernel from Ubuntu 8.04 2.6.24-19-xen, because the xensource xen kernel

Hi, I''ve recently setup a few machines with 3.2 64bit without any unresolvable problem. These machines all run pv domU''s and a view "basic" hvm domUs. As I''ve got one machine left for internal use and testing, I would like to take a look at pciback with VT-d support (bios screen shows a VT-d [enable|disable]). My question is, do I need to add patches, or use

I''ve just had my first attempt at getting VGA passthrough to work, and it crashed the machine. I''m trying to understand whether this is a problem with my hardware, configuration or a software problem. I''m running Xen 4.1.2 with Linux 3.1.2 The CPU is an Intel Core i5-650 http://ark.intel.com/products/43546/Intel-Core-i5-650-Processor-%284M-Cache-3_20-GHz%29 The Video

Hi Jeff. I read that you use PCI Passthrough and works well, i was wonder if you can tell me how you do that ''cause i can''t find how to do it :( and i really need to. So if you can give some advice about how you do it would be really helpful. I appreciate your help Jeff.

Hi, can someone recommends mainboads+cpu combination with working vt and vt-d for a home server ( means reasonably priced) and with at least 3 pci slots besides the mainboards mentioned in http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/VTdHowTo. Would it be worth to wait for AMD iommu technic, which should appear this year ?

Hi, all I''m trying SRIOV with Xen but failed to pass through virtual function of SRIOV to dom-U. My platform: Xen-unstable 4.2 Pvops Dom-0 kernel 2.6.32.35 CentOS 5.4 Dom-0 CentOS 5.4 HVM Dom-U And follow VtdHowto wiki page, my steps are: First, bind the virtual function to pci-stub. After that, check the assignable virtual function devices: [root@localhost ~]# xm pci-list-assignable-devices 0000:07:10.0 0000:07:10.1 Next, attach virtual function to dom-U using device hot-plug: [root@localhost ~]# x...

hi, i have installed Xen hypervisor on fedora 17 and now i want to assign devices directly to a guest OS through VT-d. does any one know how can i do it? i found some solutions for that but those had some steps for when installing Xen while i installed Xen on fedora. i am going to know,can i assign device to a guest OS through VT-d capability with installed Xen on fedora 17? thanks.

I''m having trouble actually seeing a PCI device in my VMs. I''ve resolved several of my issues using previous posts and using the VTdHowTo wiki page. I have both VT and VTd BIOS options enabled. I have pciback hiding the devices and xm can list and assign the devices to VMs. I don''t see the PCI devices in my VMs though. I have tried a windows and a Linux vm, without success. I also made sure I removed the drivers for the...

Hi all, I'm just curios and would like some input from the community on this one. We're busy budgeting for a couple of new servers and I thought it would be good to try out the Core i7 CPU's, but see the majority of them don't offer VT-d, but just VT-x. Looking at the LGA1366 range, only the "Intel lga1366 i7 980XE" (from the list of what our suppliers stock) have VT-d,

Hello I am new in XEN and Linux. I am trying the VGA passthru. I can xen-pciback.hide EtherNet, Serial Com port. But when I xen-pciback.hide my VGA. I can no longer login to the Linux(Fedora 12). Then how can I xm create a XP DomU guest? Can anyone help? I am using Intel Q35 MB with Intel Core2 CPU. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list

...lp me with this? Also, a little thing that''s annoying me, but is not as critical, is that my Dom0 crashes when xserver starts if graphics drivers are enabled. I assume this is because even Dom0 is not in the correct address space for DMA, and according to http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/VTdHowTo, there is no DMA translation for Dom0. I don''t really need my graphics card for Dom0, but if anybody knows a way to get it working I''d appreciate it.
