Hi all, Let''s suppose that I''ve got a server box with 8 NICs. ¿It is possible to assign one and only one of those NICs to a determined DomU? -- Thanks, Jordi Espasa Clofent _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

But to answer your question, yes, you can. http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenNetworking should explain it all pretty well. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
Hi Jordi, If each nic has its own PCI controller, why don''t you just hide those controllers from Dom0 and export them to each DomU accordingly?

I''m talking about a device which has several gigabit eth connection in same PCIe. I''m searching the concrete manufacturer/model to show you. -- Thanks, Jordi Espasa Clofent _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Well, as far as I know, you will just use bridged mode and have many xenbr ''s around. You can then assign each to one DomU. Would this solve your problem?

Yes and choose in the DomU config file which bridge you want to use. For example, if you have 10 eth ports, then you''d have xenbr0 to xenbr9. you''ll use the domu config file to choose which xenbrX to use...
