[Xen-users] pciback.hide on Xen 3.0.1 (plaintext version)
Hi All I´ve been looking to get a firewall vm going on my Xen cluster. I think hiding a NIC from dom0 and making it available for a domU is a perfect solution for me! I installed my system using the howto of Falko http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_xen3_debian This howto uses Xen version 3.0.1 Adding the kernel option with the right pci address I got (Unknown boot option `pciback.hide=(xx:xx.x)'':ignoring) during boot. I´ve been googling and found this article: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2006-June/msg00684.html claiming (CONFIG_XEN_PCIDEV_FRONTEND and CONFIG_XEN_PCIDEV_BACKEND) are disabled by default and can be switched in using the menu. These options are not in my menumake menu or in my .config When was this feature introduced. Is this again a minor change that came with 3.0.2? First the completely different install procedure and now this. If this is a version thing, then I think the release of 3.0.2 should have been called 3.1! The manual states the pciback.hide thing as a 3.0 thing... Please help out! How can I have my NIC connected directly to my single domU with Xen 3.0.1 Regards, Bart _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Hi, Yes, I am using debian. I did not bother with the binary packages as I need iptables, quota and other stuff not compiled in by source... Now I have a complete system. Dom0 setup as i want, couple of DomU´s running perfect (except the fw one) so i´m not so hot on starting all over. If I want to install a xen-kernel... wil it messup my current (from source) setup? Gr, and thanks for the quick answer!

The xen-kernel from www.backports.org worked fine for me. Except restarting a DomU.
