similar to: PCI passthru limitations?

Hi there, After updating a server from CentOS 5.3 to 5.4 my Xen pci-passthru setup has some troubles. The server has two NICs, one used by dom0 and the other assigned to a domU and one SCSI controler assigned to another domU. It has been working fine since CentOS 5.1, when I did the initial setup. After upgrading to 5.4, I get this error when starting the domU with one of the NICs assigned:

Hi, My environment is as below: Hardware: Dell R210 NICs: Broadcom NetXtreme II BCN5709/5716 (w/o FLR) Xen: xen 4.1.2 Kernel: 3.6.32.57 (final version of xen community) Distribution: Centos 6.2 (upgraded to above kernel) When I added iommu=soft to domU kernel boot line, the PCI passthru-ed NICs can be UP and RUNNING. Otherwise, omit iommu=soft option would make the passthru-ed NICs only UP but

ls /lib/modules/2.6.34-xen-r4-dom0/kernel/drivers/xen/pciback pciback.ko passthru works fine with that module and 2.6.34-xen dom0/domU host/guest i can''t find analog for this module in 3.0 kernel. pci-stub i suppose is for KVM and doesn''t work with XEN - guest starts but has no PCI devices. can anyone give me some advice on make PCI passthru work in 3.0?

Hi, I have a PC with 3 ethernet interfaces. I am trying to a) assign 2 ethernet interfaces exclusively to one domU by using the late binding method and b) to use a bridge between the third interface and dom0 (that works fine). The goal is to not to have to use bridges for the exclusively assigned interfaces. Is it possible? (If not, no need to read the rest) The problem I have is that I

Hi, I want to give direct access to my monitor for my linux domU so that my graphics can run smoothly inside domU which is Ubuntu 8.10 I tried doing the following, but things didn''t work out. 1.

Hello everybody, I''m experiencing some problems while exporting a whole usb hub to my DomU. My Dom0 is a Debian Etch using Xen 3.2 and kernel 2.6.18-5-xen-686 SMP on an intel core 2 duo. My DomU is a CentOs 5.1 using same kernel. Both are 32 bits environnements. I''ve exported my Usb Hub, and a ethernet card, using the pciback.hide=(04:00.0)(00:1d.0) option to Dom0 kernel. I

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

Hi, I tried to attach passrough io device to domU, the command (ended successfully in dom0), but when I entered the domU and typed the "lspci" command I didn''t see the new device, although the dom0 removed it from the "pci-list-assignable-devices". When I tried to detach it from the domU, the detach command returned with timeout error. What did I miss? perhaps I

Greetings, I have Xen installation with all domains (dom0+domU) being Debian Lenny. I''d like to pass my usb printer to one of those domU domains. I couldn''t make usb passthrough to work, so I decided that I will pass the whole usb controller to the domU. It didn''t worked either. I have read tons of internet howtos only to find the solutions proposed don''t

Hi : I am trying to do PCIe passthrough on HVM domu. I have window XP as a HVM domu and xen-4.0. dom0 and domU (without device assign) works fine. I have more than one NIC card. I want to passthrough 03:00.0 to domu here are the list of my nic cards: lspci | grep -i eth 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

Hello, I thinking about using PCI passthrough to dedicated a domU as firewall. I understand PCI passthrough concept. When done, my domU will see network card and the dom0 won''t any more. So I''ll be able to filter all trafic from outside, since it will go through network domU. Then, how will I be able to connect other domU (and maybe dom0) to the network domU ? In a normal way,

Hello, I''ve got xen installed on a box running Fedora Core 6. In addition I''m running a Windows 2003 server as a domU. Everything work fine and I am quite satisfied with the setup. However, in win 2003''s device manager there is a unknown PCI device that I not able to find a suitable driver for. Windows update can''t find one either. Is there a way to find what

If a PCI device has been passed to a domU is it possible to set its latency from the domU or does it have to be done from the domO? When I attempt to set a devices latency from the domU with setpci I do not receive an error message back indicating a problem, however the latency as viewed with lspci -v is not changed. The same setpci command from the dom0 successfully changes the latency and the

Hi people. I had finally cross my USB to my DomU windows XP, justs 1 issue: USB 2.0 not working only 1.1 is working. I would to confirm with others that have the MoBo ASUS M4A89TD Pro/USB3 if u have been able to passthrough the USB ports to HVM windows? I had try different settings on my BIOS, different settings on Xen 4.1, this under Centos x64 AMD Athlon II 640. I receive the

Is PCI pass-through available in the "standard" CentOS 5.1 kernel? From the "xm info" command, I see the major.minor version of Xen is 3.1, so I''m assuming it is and that I''m missing something basic. I''ve tried using "pciback.hide=(...)" in grub.conf, but after getting an error message about it not being valid, I realized that pciback is a

My goal is to set up a system where: * 1 domU VM runs at a time. * The VM can be

Hello, I´m trying to map one network interface of a Dual-Port e1000 Server Adapter to a DomU (firewall).
