[Xen-users] Assigning a physical device to a particular domain
Hi, If i want to assign a particular resource (a physical device) only to a particular domain other than domain 0, is it possible? If so, can you please tell me how can i do that? For example if i want to assign /dev/sda only to domain 1 and even domain 0 should not know about the device, in other words, the backend driver for that device should be in domain 1 and not in domain 0, is this scenario a valid one?. Thanks, Pree. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

In the current Xen 3.0 unstable you cannot directly assign PCI devices to domUs. It is possible with Xen 2.0. In grub append this to your Xen line physdev_dom0_hide=(%02x:%02x.%1x) deepak On 10/5/05, Ted Kaczmarek <tedkaz@optonline.net> wrote:> On Tue, 2005-10-04 at 18:04 -0600, Preethi M wrote: > > Hi, > > > > If i want to assign a particular resource (a physical device) only to > > a particular domain other than domain 0, is it possible?
