Hi, I am still trying to assign pci or usbs to a domU. I get to the point where pciback seizes the devices (5 usb and 2 pci). I modified the configuration of the domU with pci = [ ''00:1d.0'' , ''00:1d.1'' , ''00:1d.2'' , ''00:1d.3'' , ''00:1d.7'', ''02:01.0'' , ''02:02.0'' ] but

Hi, some more info which I collected during physically accessing the machine while rebooting. I was suprised that while it was not able to do anything it was not a ''static'' kernel panic, but the following text was scrolling continously thru the screen: """ ata3: port reset, p_is 1 is e pis 1 cmd c017 tf 50 ss 113 se 0 ata3: status=0x50 { DriveReady SeekComplete }

Hi Lists, sorry for reposting this, but since no response has arrived so far and my time on this project is passing by I need to make a conclusion. Do I better use my DVR cards in dom0 or moving it to a separate physical machine rather than using them in a domU? Could someone shed light on why it is trickier to pass-thru one of these cards than any other pci devices? Do they try to read-write

Hi there, I have a question regarding PCI passthrough on the Citrix XenServer 5.6 (Xen 3.4.2). I already managed to get some soundcard passed through to a Windows guest. So I think my knowledge about that topic isn''t _that_ low. But I cannot seem to pass through a SATA/PATA controller to a Linux guest. I have some additional CD/DVD burner (PATA) attached to a SATA/PATA controller

Hello, we have a bug on any xen kernel > 3.4 like this: kernel BUG at /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel- xen-3.7.9/linux-3.7/fs/buffer.c:2952!

With the kernel option ''xen-pciback.hide=(00:14.2) xen-pciback.permissive'', Xen-4.2.0-rc3 is unable to pass through my onboard Intel HDA audio adapter to a Windows7 guest. I tried doing the same in KVM and it worked immediately without issue. On the guest, I get a "High Definition Audio Controller" with the correct vendor/device ID, and an error of "This device

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

This is a first go at adding support for the modern (based on the 1.0 virtio spec) virtio-pci implementation. kvmtool makes it simple to add additional transports such as this because of it's layering, so we are able to add it as a 3rd (after legacy virtio-pci and virtio-mmio) transport layer, and still allow users to choose to use either the legacy or the modern implementations (but setting

I am using the latest xen unstable and trying to install this 00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82562V 10/100 Network Connection (rev 02) since xen uses 2.6.16.29 it does not support it yet, someone said (on google) that 2.6.18.3 supports it. So I want to boot 2.6.18.3 in domU and enable it with the pciback thing. my seize commands are: echo -n 0000:00:19.0 >

Hi, I'm trying to pass a physical network interface through to a domU. This seems to be impossible because the way xen wants to do it is incompatible with the way centos wants to do it. I followed documentation on http://www.xen-support.com/?p=151 and tried booting with 'pciback.permissive pciback.hide=(06:00.0)'. This gives a hint in dmesg "kernel: xen-pciback: backend is

Hi there. I''m having trouble with Xen after reboot my system. ifconfig -a Now, ifconfig -a gives me only vif1.0 network device, but recently (before reboot) it have gived one tap1.0 device. I''m asking because of network: it''s no longer available ;-( Everything was good. No kernel or Xen recompilation. And no tap1.0 device anymore ;-( The settings for network is the

Hi! I am trying to export a PCI device (an AVM Fritzcard PCI ISDN card...) to a domU but when starting my domU I am getting this error: "pciback pci-4-0: 22 Couldn''t locate PCI device (0000:00:06.0)! perhaps already in-use?" My system is running both debian etch in dom0 and domU... Below you can find (hopefully) all important information... Sincerely, Gaubatz Patrick

I am trying to get a bt878 capture card working in Ubuntu 7.04 for a video surveillance application running on LAMP stack. It is based on Xen 3.0.3. Got all xm stuff working and apache/mysql/python working in domU. Now need access to /dev/Video0 I first tried pciback, where I get the following failure (from dom0 dmesg). (I blacklisted the bttv and related drivers). [ 0.198929] Kernel command

Hallo, the device is working without problems in the dom0, found from parport_pc: dmesg small2 snip: parport_pc: ITE8875 found (1P) parport0: PC-style at 0xf000 [PCSPP,TRISTATE,EPP] parport0: Printer, Kyocera FS-1700+ parport_pc: ITE 8872 parallel port: io=0xF000 parport1: PC-style at 0x378 [PCSPP,TRISTATE] snap to assign this device to a domU I gave the boot-parmaters

The xencommons runlevel script has a few modprobe calls to load drivers for dom0. Recently also the backend drivers for vbd and vif were added. Unfortunately without an explanation why that is (suddenly) needed. Now that I have been hitting such missing backend driver issue as well with a xenlinux based dom0 kernel I wonder how to handle the situation. The pvops kernel has 3 backend drivers

Hi, I would like to know if somebody can point me out how to configure several DomUs in a private LAN (for example 192.168.100.0/24) and one DomU with two interfaces (one - 192.168.100.0/24 and two - internet). So far I have enabled in xend-config.sxp: (network-script network-route) (vif-script vif-route) My config files have: /mnt/VM/1.cfg:vif = [''ip=192.168.1.3'']

Greetings Xen user community, I am interested in using Mellanox ConnectX cards with SR-IOV capabilities to passthrough pci-e Virtual Functions (VFs) to Xen guests. The hope is to allow for the use of InfiniBand directly within virtual machines and thereby enable a plethora of high performance computing applications that already leverage InfiniBand interconnects. However, I have run into some
