SMBIOS table pass-through is useful in supporting vendor/OEM specific functionality in HVM guests. There are numerous OEM software packages and drivers that depend on having certain SMBIOS tables surfaced in a guest for their proper functioning. This also includes drivers and software needed for device pass-through. This series of patches introduces support for SMBIOS pass-through in the

Passthrough support for the SMBIOS structures including three new DMTF defined types and support for OEM defined tables. Passed in SMBIOS types override the default internal values. Default values can be enabled for the new type 22 portable battery using a xenstore flag. All other new DMTF defined and OEM structures will only be added to the SMBIOS table if passthrough values are present.

This adds a boolean boot parameter to xen to allow reserved memory regions to be added to the iommu mappings for dom0. The parameter is "iommu_include_reserved" and is off by default. A warning is also traced when incorrect RMRR to system memory map values are detected. This is being added to address some incorrect BIOS''s that do not report correctly the requied reserved memory

Add public HVM definitions header for firmware passthrough support (including comment describing the feature''s use). In addition this header is used to collect the various xenstore string values that are used in HVMLOADER.

I have pulled a recent (today''s) clone of staging/xen-unstable.hg and I get a failure when trying to create a domain with xend/xm. The failure I get is: Error: (''<domain GUID>'', ''VM_metrics'') I have traced the problem down to where the pci = [ ''02:00.0'' ] parameter (which is the value in my case) from my configuration

ACPI table passthrough support allowing additional static tables and SSDTs (AML code) to be loaded. These additional tables are added at the end of the secondary table list in the RSDT/XSDT tables.

Hello folks, There is a way to get the system serial number from SMBIOS and pass it as HTTP query string to get the kernel and initrd? Something like this: LABEL OS Download MENU LABEL Clonezilla MENU INDENT 1 KERNEL http://192.168.10.10/kernel.php?type=kernel ( http://myserver/kernel.php?SN=SMBIOS_SERIAL_NUMBER&type=kernel )&SN=SMBIOS_SERIAL_NUMBER APPEND

I am reposting this because it's been 2 or 3 weeks. Hello, Hopefully this is the right place to send a question like this... I'm attempting to automate creation of VMs using virt-install and a cloud-init disk image. To get this to work, I need to specify the location of the cloud-init configs by passing smbios key/value pairs. Normally, -smbios is provided to qemu to do this. With

The following patches are a cleaned up version of the HVM SMBIOS patches I submitted last Friday. Differences include (1) SMBIOS is no longer optional for HVM domU''s. (2) The refactoring I did of hvmloader wasn''t really necessary, so I got rid of it. (3) The patches have been tested on changeset 10671:b20580cf7fc1bfe5119597bb5b576cdd020551d5 (4) The versions of strcpy() and

For some reason, half of the patches I posted on Friday for HVM SMBIOS support haven''t shown up yet. I''m going to try to post a version of them reworked for changeset 11076:f328519053f5a444af475ec10dc8089a0b176e3f in a few moments, so please ignore the previous posts. Thanks!

Hello, I''m using the latest b75 ISO to try and get a solaris dom0 running on my laptop, a Sony SZ-330P. The Xen LiveCD works just fine, so I know that theoretically it should work. Build 75 also works just fine on my Sony, including sound and video, etc. But when I try and boot the Xen kernel, the system hangs. There''s no panic printed to console. If I pass a -v option at

Xen control tools support for loading the firmware passthrough blocks during domain construction. SMBIOS and ACPI blocks are passed in using the new xc_hvm_build_args structure. Each block is read and loaded into the new domain address space behind the HVMLOADER image. The base address for the two blocks is returned as an out parameter to the caller via the args structure.

Hi, The new smbmount that comes with Samba 2.0.5a doesn't seem to recognize the '-P' command line option. This means that I cannot automatically mount shares from a script, as I need to manually enter the password for each mount. This used to work with the older smbmount, and also with the newer 'smbmount -c ...'. Is this (passing a password on the command line) not supported

Hello XCI developers, I have a HP6930, downloaded xenclient from the git. And by following the instruction in HOWTO, I could get xenclient boot up fine. I try then to start a guest using xenvm.readme as template and nothing shows on the screen for the guest, although xenops shows 2 doms running. Can you point me to how to start a guest. And also, is the tree downloaded from git enough to arrive
