[Xen-users] Status of SR-IOV / Intel 82576 / which NIC for pciback.hide setups?
Dear all, I asked around a year ago [1] about the status of SR-IOV in XEN. Is there any update on this (there were only some "loose patches" by this time) --- i.e. does anybody have such a network interface card (NIC) running in production systems? We tried, without luck, [2] to use our intel 82576 in a way as to assign one full network interface to a VM via pciback. In case there are is no positive experience with the intel 82576 cards I would be also grateful for any NIC hardware recommendations with multiple interfaces that work well with pciback.hide and assigning them to a VM.

What dom0 kernel version? What domU kernel version? I think it should work, with the correct kernel versions. -- Pasi> In case there are is no positive experience with the intel 82576 cards I > would be also grateful for any NIC hardware recommendations with > multiple interfaces that work well with pciback.hide and assigning them > to a VM. > > Best Regards, > Alexander > > [1] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.xen.user/47438 > [2] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.xen.user/47394 > > > _______________________________________________ > 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
