[Xen-users] trouble with dedicated network card and pciback
Hello, I have been trying to get a dedicated network card working with pciback and xen over the past few days with no success, I am wondering if anyone could clue me in to what I am missing. I am using RHEL 5.3 with a Intel Pro 1000 network card that needs to be used for the vm.>From Dom0 I get the following:[root@cl-file ~]# lspci |grep -i ethernet 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 12) 07:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 12) 0d:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82572EI Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) (rev 06) The Intel card is what I need to use, so my pci id should be 0d:00.0 Pciback has the device: [root@cl-file xen]# dmesg |grep pciback pciback 0000:0d:00.0: seizing device I then add pci=[''0000:0d:00.0''] to my file for the vm, all lines of which follow: name = "windows-citrix" uuid = "4be7bc1b-4266-a3d8-59ac-01fa9cf89e34" maxmem = 3999 memory = 3999 vcpus = 1 builder = "hvm" kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader" boot = "c" pae = 1 acpi = 1 apic = 1 localtime = 1 on_poweroff = "destroy" on_reboot = "restart" on_crash = "restart" device_model = "/usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm" usbdevice = "tablet" sdl = 0 vnc = 1 vncunused = 0 keymap = "en-us" vncdisplay = "2" disk = [ "file:/external/windows-citrix.img,hda,w", "file:/root/drivers.iso,hdb:cdrom,r" ] pci=[''0000:0d:00.0''] #vif = [ "mac=00:16:3e:0b:5d:d9,bridge=virbr0" ] serial = "pty" I also edited the pci-permissive file to add the device there: [root@cl-file xen]# lspci -n |grep 0d:00.0 0d:00.0 0200: 8086:107d (rev 06) The file contains: (unconstrained_dev_ids #(''0123:4567:89AB:CDEF'') (''8086:107d'') ) However now when I try to install the Intel drivers on my windows 2008 server 64 bit vm, it fails to find the card. Any ideas? Dan _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
