similar to: VGA passthrough on Paravirtualized VMs

I just wanted to drop a note to say that I have managed to get VGA passthrough working with multiple cards and domUs. The cards I am using are quasi Quadro 5000 (modified GTX470) and quasi Quadro 6000 (modified GTX480). (Here is an older article about modified GTS450 modified to Quadro 2000 if anyone is interested:

Hi Is VGA passthrough with an nvidia optimus laptop remotely feasible? For those who don''t know, nvidia optimus is two hardware cards, connected to the same display. One sandy bridge setup (I use the intel driver for this), and one nvidia card. I have a laptop with this setup, and usually I''m using only the intel card. I then use acpi_call to power down the nvidia card. To use

Oops Attached should by the domU configuration referenced, but missing from my last mail. -------------- next part -------------- # ========================================= # Windows 7 domU # ========================================= # Configure an HVM rather than PV guest builder = "hvm" # Guest name name = "windows7" # Enable Microsoft Hyper-V compatible PV #viridian = 1

How does vga passthrough of the primary graphics card work? And what is the current state of vga passthrough of a secondary graphics card? If I passthrough the primary graphics card does that leave dum0 headless and my monitor attached (via the passed through card) to the HVM domu? I am planning to build a computer that will support HVMs with vga passthrough, using the following: ASUS crossair

Dear All, I have tried to apply VGA passthrough patches hosted at Jean David Techer''s website to Xen 4.3-unstable. However, I cannot get VGA passthrough to work with Xen 4.3-unstable. Are the VGA passthrough patches hosted at David Techer''s website incompatible with Xen 4.3-unstable? This is David Techer''s website:

Hello, I would like to report to the group that I have been successful with VGA passthrough using the following configuration: Gigabyte GA-890FXA-UD5 ASUS EAH5750 1GB GDDR5 video Fedora 13 XEN 4.0.1 Windows 7 64 bit HVM guest Xen was installed per Pasi''s Fedora 13 Xen 4.0 Tutorial found here: http://wiki.xen.org/xenwiki/Fedora13Xen4Tutorial The tutorial was very helpful and many

Hello, I configured xen with enabled passthrough primary VGA card (Intel Integrated graphic controller HD 3000) and audio controller (Intel HD audio) to hvm guest. I also installed GPLPV drivers to improve performance. And it works for Windows XP (x86) and Windows 7 (x86_64). But I get a BSOD, when I try to load a disk or network subsystem or start Windows 7 performance test. Steps to reproduce

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

I have a question regarding VGA passthrough. If I understood correctly, the only way to have VGA passthrough is hiding the VGA from the Dom0 and giving full control of it to one guest. This means, the guest should just take ownership of the device and start using it (and therefore take control of the screen, too), right? I read that one can dynamically hide PCI devices from the Dom0. What would

Dear Users, in my case, i want to passthrough a pci-e graphiccard to a hvm guest. In the bios i have to select whether the onboard graphic is used as primary vga output or the pci-e one. If i define the onboard one then the pci-e card gets unavailable in xen, furthermore lspci did not show it anymore. if i set the pci-e card as primary, it comes up fine in xen, but if i hide that card which is

I am having problems getting my 64-bit Debian Squeeze (Xen version 4.0, Linux Kernel 2.6.32) dom0 to pass a Gigabyte HD 5450 graphics card to an HVM 64-bit Arch Linux domU. I have two Gigabyte HD 5450 graphics cards connected to my Gigabyte GA-X79-UP4 motherboard. I can pass the secondary card (the one the bios doesn’t show up on) to an HVM 32-bit Windows XP domU (I thought that would be the hard

Hi, I was able to do VGA/PCI Passthrough on an i7-3770 integrated GPU HD4000 to a Windows 8 HVM. Xen 4.1.3 running on a Debian Wheezy (kernel 3.2.0-3-amd64 and 3.5-trunk) dom0, xm toolstack and pci-stub were used. Other PCI devices such as USB 2.0 controller and audio were also passed to the domU. The hardware used is the following: Intel Core i7-3770 CPU, Intel DQ77MK Motherboard with

Hi Alex, The first bit of advice that I was about to give was that you should have a look at a particular thread on the Arch Linux user forum. But as it turns out, the article that you found (which seems really well-written) already mentions that thread, and in fact even links to one of my comments on that thread, namely this comment: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1313007#p1313007

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:

Hi everyone, First post, already a call for help :) I''m trying to use a gtx 580 with Xen 4 VGA Passthrough to test CUDA performances, the MB is an Asus P7P55 LX with a i7 870, VT-D is enabled in bios and reported as active by Xen. I''m using Debian Squeeze as Dom0 and DomU OS. Dom0 is configured with iommu=1 and iommu=verbose parameters and xen-pciback.hide=(01:00.0)(01:00.1)

Dear all, we are trying to get our virtual machines to work performant with our 10 GbE cards (lspci says: NetXen Incorporated NX3031 Multifunction 1/10-Gigabit Server Adapter (rev 42)). When doing some benchmarks it was noticed that especially on the receiving side, the virtualization layer hits a significant performance impact and therefore we went for a PCI passthrough, so that the VMs can
