[Xen-users] Network card full virtualized windows
Good morning, I installed on xen a windows XP and a Windows 2003 domU. Windows operating system does not know the real network card but it setup up an AMD pcnet card 10mbps. Is it possible to setup a full virtualized domU with a real network card ? I installed also windows on a trial xen enterprise and real network card seeems to work fine. What differences between xen and xen entrprise as far as network card is concerned ?

It is currently not possible to connect a real network card to a HVM domain, as that requires address translation from the guest to the machine memory addresses. If you look for a recent post by me in the Xen-devel mailing list, you''ll see what I mean. Note that the 10Mbps is irrelevant, as this is a FAKE network card supplied by the device model that the virtual machine uses to "simulate" the hardware inside the virtual machine.> > > I installed also windows on a trial xen enterprise and real network > card seeems to work fine.That''s news to me, as I think Xen enterprise actually uses the same Xen-kernel as the open source version, but has other add-ons.> > What differences between xen and xen entrprise as far as network card > is concerned ?I wouldn''t know that - there is a mailing list for Xen enterprise. -- Mats> > > Thanks Igna > > > _______________________________________________ > Xen-users mailing list > Xen-users@lists.xensource.com > http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users > > >_______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
Hi, may i ask you about W2003 on domU ? i''m experiencing a problem regarding 2GB RAM limit, it doesn''t look as W2003 problem, cause it does not boot with mem=2048 or more if there is mem=2047 everything is ok. thx. igor.fajcik@zooom.sk www.zooom.sk Petersson, Mats wrote:> > > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com >> [mailto:xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com] On Behalf Of >> ignazio.cassano@provincia.torino.it >> Sent: 17 November 2006 07:22 >> To: xen-users@lists.xensource.com >> Subject: [Xen-users] Network card full virtualized windows >> >> Good morning, >> I installed on xen a windows XP and a Windows 2003 domU. >> Windows operating system does not know the real network card >> but it setup up >> an AMD pcnet card 10mbps. >> Is it possible to setup a full virtualized domU with a real >> network card ? >> > > Yes, that''s what I''d expect (although you can choose one of three > different network card types [at least in the latest version(s)]. > > It is currently not possible to connect a real network card to a HVM > domain, as that requires address translation from the guest to the > machine memory addresses.

Re: [Xen-users] Network card full virtualized windows
Hi, I am able to installe w2003 with mem=2048 . The problem was the sdl=1 in the configuration file.
