Re: [Xen-users] DomU Direct Hardware access



here we go

hide the pci-cards(lspci) that you want to use in domU

fire up your dom0 without these devices drivers

...
...
module /vmlinuz-2.6-xen root=/dev/hda5 ro console=tty0 max_loop=64 pciback.hide=(0000:00:0c.0)(0000:00:09.0)
...
....


now start you domU with the pci device declared in domU config

....
pci = ['00:0c.00','00:09.00']
....

ok, but what about sharing this device with other domUs?

According to xm man page I can specify vif = [ 'backend=myDriverDomain' ] which should give access to the network card in the above mentioned domain. but so far I was not able to make that work.

Thx for any hints

Andrej
