Hello,

I'd like to know if Proxmox handles VT-d technology ?

In fact, i quite found any documentation about pass-thru support on Proxmox (apart from the old pass-thru proxmox page)?

Thank you very much.

Sincerely,

XZed
 
Thank you very much for your answer :) !

I'm going to test v1.8 w/ 2.6.35 kernel as soon as i'll receive hardware.

http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Roadmap#Proxmox_VE_1.8

I don't get the thing about "Ubuntu-xxxxx" 2.6.35 kernel ....

Does it mean that this previous documentation can be used w/ Ubuntu ? :

http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_Lenny

(Or, perhaps, it's only referring to Ubuntu as being the kernel source)

No OpenVZ on 2.6.35 ? :

http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Proxmox_VE_Kernel

By the way, i found this how-to :

http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/How_to_assign_devices_with_VT-d_in_KVM

Finally, relating to your how to (similar to the one i'm quoting) :

I suppose it can be considered for devices other than network ones ?

My final goal is similar to this one :

http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/3469-PCI-Passthrough-with-1068e-onboard-SAS-controller

Any users feedbacks about VT-d / Proxmox stories ?

Thank you :) !

Hi,
no this means the kernel-source is from the ubuntu-kernel. pve is debian (lenny - pve2.0 will be squeeze based).

right, if you need openvz you have to use 2.6.32, or better 2.6.18 (this is the stable kernel for openvz).

sorry, i don't use pci-passthrough. So i can't give any hints (but i love the live-migration feature and with pci-passthrough you can't use this things).

Do you have any source link about live-migration incompatibility w/ pci-passthru ?

Thank you

Hi,
i don't have an url. But this can't works! E.G. a vm use a pci-e card via passtrough. The OS of the VM initialize the card (perhaps load also a firmware to the card). If you now live migrate the VM, the VM-OS use the new card like the old one, but this card aren't initialize, nor loaded firmware, nor has the same register/memory-content... This can't work would i say!
