Hi, My environment is as below: Hardware: Dell R210 NICs: Broadcom NetXtreme II BCN5709/5716 (w/o FLR) Xen: xen 4.1.2 Kernel: 3.6.32.57 (final version of xen community) Distribution: Centos 6.2 (upgraded to above kernel) When I added iommu=soft to domU kernel boot line, the PCI passthru-ed NICs can be UP and RUNNING. Otherwise, omit iommu=soft option would make the passthru-ed NICs only UP but not RUNNING. Anybody can explain why and how can I use hardware iommu instead? Thanks, HUAXIANG FAN Software Engineer II WEBSENSE NETWORK SECURITY TECHNOLOGY R&D (BEIJING) CO.
