Still running my PVE 0.9 - trying to make it behave as I want it to. ;-)
Scenario:
I want to run Mythbuntu backend in VE.
I have: 1 terratec Cinergy dvb-s pci card
1 Dvb-T usb module.
3 x 500 Gb internal SATA disks for media
2 x 500 Gb external usb 2.0 disks for media.
AMD64 x2 4400+ (2.3 ghz) cpu
8 Gb ram
2 x GbLan
I need some way to let the VE see/control the Dvb-s / dvb-t cards. Both are supported in Linux.
Under Xen I would do this by forwarding the PCI slot for the dvb-s and a pci usb-card to the vm.
KVM does not yet support pci forwarding; and I'd rather run it under OpenVZ, for maximum performance.
I would considder buying an USB dvb-s tuner if that will make it possible.
Here's what I am thinking:
A) Initialize the devices in the HN, and somehow access the device nodes directly from VE. (Dont know if I can forward them in any usable way?)
B) Use something like http://www.usb-server.com/, running the server on the HN and a client on the VE. (Will have to buy USB dvb-s tuner).
Any thoughts on this project? I need any ideas / help I can get.
This is the main purpose of my setting up a virtualized server; I have done it in Xen, but I'd rather use proxmox - love the simplicity and potential of the solution.
regards
Anders
