similar to: VGA Passthrough of Radeon 6990? Crossfire in general?

Hi, I am new to Xen and I was wondering if the following construction would be feasible with the current Xen. I would like to put 2/3/4 new computers in my house, mainly for gaming. Instead of buying 2/3/4 different computers, I was thinking of building one computer with a 4/6/8-core CPU, 2/3/4 GPUs, 2/3/4 small SSDs, and attach 2/3/4 monitors to it, 2/3/4 keyboards and 2/3/4 mouses, and run VGA

Hi everyone since I''m currently migrating from xm to xl and now are also a victim of the said error, I started researching on it and found that many people had the issue but not many found solution and behind this BSOD (=Bluescreen of Death), there are actually multiple errors in hiding. What I would like to do is gather as much info as possible in this thread to form a kind of

Hi, I''m trying to get VGA passthrough to work to an XP x64 guest, and I''m seeing "interesting" things happening. I''m using the kernel and userspace tools from here: http://xen.crc.id.au/support/guides/install/# on Scientific Linux 6. I gave up on trying to get an Nvidia card to work in the guest having read about the extra patches required to get a

Hello List, I have a system that came with an OEM copy of Windows 8, and I want to virtualize that same copy of Windows on top of Xen. While I''ve done this with retail copies before, that''s just a matter of a license key. BIOS SLICs, while convenient, are likely less straightforward to translate into a VM. Does anyone know if this is possible and/or supported by Xen/QEMU?

I guess I have stumbled upon a bug in gplpv drivers. If you try to re-enable an nic adapter after disabling it, it just hides out of blue. And you have to reboot. Latest version of gplpv drivers and Windows 2008 R2 here. Anyone else noticed the same issue? I wonder if this is related to hot-plugging something like

Hello, Like many trying and posting here, I''m new to VGA passthrough. Computer was bought, checking compatibility from http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/VTd_HowTo The hardware is mostly not exactly on the list, but mainly new versions of the same series (I think). IOMMU "seems" to be working (not 100% sure what to check). I used debian/wheezy kernel and xen, dom0 and HVM domu.

Hello List! As I venture a little further down the Xen rabbit hole, I''ve gotten myself wondering: could I script the use of "xm pci-attach" and "xm pci-detach" such that I can shift all of my difficult-to-virtualize PCI devices, such as video card[s], USB controllers, audio devices, and so on, from one running DomU to another? Give myself a button or key

Aloha! Concisely, I''ve been trying for several days to get VGA/PCI passthrough working. Regarding VGA vs PCI passthrough, I''m not entirely certain of the difference? Does Xen perform a different set of operations when passing through a VGA card versus any PCIe card? I''ve read the wiki and it seems the answer is "yes;" however, when passing through a

Dear Xen Users, I have _partial_ (that is, less than 100%) success following Jean David Techer''s Xen 4.2-unstable VGA Passthrough Documentation. In both Windows 8 Consumer Preview HVM and Windows XP Home Edition HVM, I get yellow exclamation mark besides NVIDIA Geforce 8400 GS in Device Manager. NVIDIA Geforce 8400 GS in Device Manager reports: 1) Windows has stopped this device

I want to try to get VGA passthrough working in a Windows 7 x64 domU. I''m running debian squeeze/testing/unstable with Jeremy''s 2.6.32.x kernel. The best I got to work is the device showing up under Windows 7, with all resources and whatnot. I''ve applied the vga-loadbios patch and vBAR-pBAR patch to xen, and the vBAR-pBAR patch to qemu-dm. This behaviour

Hi, I''m doing VGA passthrough for an ATI (HD 6770) graphics card to a DomU Windows. The passthrough itself is working. However, everytime when I reboot the DomU Windows, the whole machine freezes. I see no error messages from Dom0 kernel or the xen qemu log (or perhaps I haven''t got the most verbose debugging turned on?). Though from what I can tell, the the freeze happens

Hi all, I have an i7-3770 which has the Intel HD 4000 graphics. I''ve been trying to pass it through to DomU with no success. With a Linux DomU, the i915 module simply will not load because intel_agp is not loaded properly when it cannot find the AGP bridge. ( With a Win7 DomU, it BSODs straight away during the boot with SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION. With a WinXP DomU, it got further

Hi, everyone. I''m Guilherme Suzuki (brazillian, by the way) and really interested in xen-vga-passthru. Lately, I bought a brand new Saphire HD 7950 (OC Boost) because I saw in a wiki somewhere that users have been able to passthru these VGA devices to domU (win7, win-xp and so on). But, after I installed it, I executed *lspci -vv* to check if FLR in DevCap was present (which

One of my customers handed me a copy of this paper and asked why are we using xen if it is so slow... http://morse.colorado.edu/~tlen5710/12s/VMware.pdf which is a fairly damning report of performance under Xen in comparison to VMWare, citing worse than 50% overhead of Xen in comparison to physical. Has anyone seen this paper before? James

Hello, We had a strange thing happen today - we shut down our system (virtual machines) so that some work could be done in the server closet and everything was shut down gracefully but when everything was started back up I can no longer access my file server from windows. I get the following message in windows: \\fs1 is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network

Hi everyone, Sorry if this gets asked over and over again, but I just joined the list and wanted to ask what the current status of the VGA-passthrough possibilities is. Today I set up my new workstation that has a Kepler card in it and compiled XEN 4.2.1 on Ubuntu 12.04. The first problem I ran into was that the system just hung up after the login screen, which (after quite some google-research)
