Hi All, This might be a stupid question... but PCI-X pass-thru should work just like PCI pass-thru in Xen, correct? Been looking to add an Intel PWLA8492MT dual-port RJ-45 GbE card into an ASUS 1U server I have and would like to pass it through to an Untangle 5.1 domU HVM instance for firewalling/UTM for a second Verizon FiOS line that''s being dropped into my home. I don''t think I should have any problems... hopefully I''m correct? Thanks! -- Daniel Kao Übermind, Inc. dkao@ubermind.com Seattle, WA, U.S.A. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Re: [Xen-users] PCI-X pass-thru just like PCI pass-thru?
For xen there is no difference between PCI and PCI-X when uit comes to PCI-passthrough. I have a Asus NCCH-DL that i use to passtrough several PCI and PCI-X cards, and works fine. However you want to use this in a HVM domain and i believe that is only supported with Xen 3.2 and a motherboard/chipset capable of VT-d, and even than it is not sure that any mobo will work.

I''m using an ASUS RS120-E5/PA2 mated with a Xeon X3220 which has the Intel 3200 MCH chipset with ICH7R as the southbridge. It''s using a version of the ASUS P5BV-C board. Xen 3.2 w/CentOS 5.1 has been running great with it so I''m hoping it works! Thanks for the reply & comments!
