similar to: Xen with libvirt and SR-IOV

Hi, I've been using libvirt (versions 0.9.11.5, and recently upgraded to 0.10.2), and have been attaching an SR-IOV VF to my VM with the following device configuration: <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'> <source> <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x07' slot='0x10' function='0x0'/>

Hi Paul, You can set the static MAC address and VLAN in the interface section of the VM xml. So it will not change even when the VM shuts down and restarts. VM interface xml: <interface type='network'> <mac address='52:54:00:85:e2:cd'/> <source network='hostdev_net'/> <vlan> <tag id='42'/> </vlan>

I'm planning to set up a libvirt/kvm system using a card with SR-IOV support. I'd like to use the vf pool option rather than statically assigning a vf to each vm. However, I'd also like each vm to have a static MAC address and I have multiple VLANs they will be on. I found in the documentation a syntax for specifying a MAC and a vlan when the vf is statically assigned, but I don't

Hi Brian Hope the following can help you. [root@sriov2 images]# virsh net-dumpxml hostnet

If I'm using the SR-IOV Pool assignment method (from http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Networking#Assignment_from_a_pool_of_SRIOV_VFs_in_a_libvirt_.3Cnetwork.3E_definition ), how would I check how many virtual functions are already in use? Is there a method other then looping through all the active guests and determining if they're using the SR-IOV interface?

I have an Intel X540 SR-IOV NIC in a box with ACS support running RHEL6.4. Hi Hongming, I'm hoping you can please help with two issues: 1. The pool works, but I transparent VLAN with the pool does not. I have to manually run "ip" afterwards to get it to work. # virsh net-dumpxml em2net <network connections='1'> <name>em2net</name>

Hi all, I'm testing on debian/unstable SR-IOV feature with Broadcom BCM57810 cards and KVM hypervisor: Compiled against library: libvirt 1.2.1 Using library: libvirt 1.2.1 Using API: QEMU 1.2.1 Running hypervisor: QEMU 1.7.0 bnx2x -> firmware 7.8.17 -> driver from kernel 3.12.7 8 VFs are created on the first PF. For each VF, a specific mac address is set manually using "ip

Hi all, How do you add a VLAN tag to a libvirt SR-IOV VF network usingthe "virsh net-update" command? I couldn't find the section to passto the "virsh net-update" command to add the VLAN tag. I have the following libvirt network defined for a SR-IOV VF: <network>  <name>GE0-0-SRIOV-1</name>  <uuid>7bc67166-c78e-4bcf-89ee-377dd9086631</uuid> 

Hi all I just encountered a problem in libvirt while was trying to attach and detach a sr-iov vf to my VM The version of my libvirt is 1.1.1-0ubuntu8.5 I tried to attach the device using following xml <interface type='hostdev' managed='yes'> <mac address='5c:01:fd:12:34:58'/> <source> <address type='pci'

Hi, All I want to use the SR-IOV of intel 82576 NIC. I enabled IOMMU and VT-d and SR-IOV in BIOS. And enabled VT-d in kernel. The OS information is bellow: [root@host3 nova]# cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS Linux release 7.1.1503 (Core) [root@host3 nova]# uname -an Linux host3.localdomain 3.10.0-229.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Mar 6 11:36:42 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [root@host3 nova]#

hi everybody a windows kvm guest would not start, process gets killed with: Out of memory: Kill process 21984 (qemu-kvm) score 44 or sacrifice child I really don't know where/what I might be missing, config seems fine, everything looks ok - I only am not sure, do I need to first stub a SR-IOV device like regular passthrough? I'm trying sr-iov, having one NIC left to the host and the

I can see from different post that if working with sr-iov, i should work with vlan Is this an obligation to work with vlan if working with sr-iov? If not according to which parameter will the different vf get the traffic. Let's say i declare max_vfs=7, how will the traffic be seperated between the vm? However till i get an answer i tried to work with vlan And i still don't get

I've been looking for real-world examples of this for a long time -- mainly because I'm trying to decide whether to restrict my build-options to using only components which are all compatible with IOV. I'm thinking that the constraint would be worth it, if IOV could provide a significant performance benefit for non-network peripherals such as storage, video processing, etc. (compared

Greetings, Following patches add SR-IOV capability support to the Linux kernel. With these patches, people can turn a PCI device with the capability into multiple ones from software perspective. [PATCH 1/4 v2] PCI: introduce new base functions [PATCH 2/4 v2] PCI: support ARI capability [PATCH 3/4 v2] PCI: support SR-IOV capability [PATCH 4/4 v2] PCI: document the change Thanks to Randy Dunlap

Greetings, Patches to support Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) capability are available for the Linux 2.6 development tree. KVM and Xen supports will come soon! --- Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) capability defined by PCI-SIG is intended to enable multiple system software to share PCI hardware resources. PCI device that supports this capability can be extended to one Physical
