[Xen-devel] xl PVUSB pass-through

[Stefan <sstanisi@xxxxxxxxx>]

Good Morning:

Our Xen clusters depend heavily on that feature. The lack of it prevents us from transitioning to the new toolstack. Currently we use PVUSB to attach a USB Smartcard reader through our dom0 (SLES 11 SP1) running on an HP Blade Server with the Token mounted on an internal USB Port to our domU CA server (SLES 11)

I'd like to know how likely it is to make it to the next release. Does anyone have a solution that doesn't require PVUSB? I'd like to give a hand if that can help making PVUSB part of Xen 4.3.

Thanks

Stefan

Stefan,

Thanks for your e-mail.  Would you mind replying to my e-mail on the list with this question?  One of the reasons PVUSB has been a low priority is that the core Xen developers haven't seen a demand for it; asking this question there can raise awareness, and may prompt other people in the same situation to speak up.  Additionally, there are some technical details which I believe are true but I'm not 100% on -- having this discussion in public ensures that you get the best technical answer possible. :-)

Hello George,

Are you in charge of implementing that feature in Xen 4.3? I found your 
email address indirectly on this page :

Our Xen clusters depend heavily on that feature. I'd like to know how 
likely it is to make it to the next release... I'd like to give a hand 
if that can help making PVUSB part of Xen 4.3.

Thanks
