Hi,

in preparation for 3.4.0 I have made a number of updates to the VT-d
Howto. I have tried to retain the original information while
reorganising things a bit. I have also added information on recent
work I have done in this area.
Apologies in advance for any errors, accidental deletions, etc...

Hi Simon,
There is a bug: we can't pci-detach a statically-assigned (I mean: use the pci 
string in hvm config file) devices for hvm guest.
Accordong my limited experience, after a device is assigned to hvm guest, ioemu 
does write the correct vslots value into xenstore, but looks xend can't get the 
correct value somwhow.
Could you help to have a look? Thanks!
Sure, I can look into that. Do you have a version that you are worried
about? It did seem to work the last time that I checked.

Hi Dexuan,

I am seeing this bug too. I'll try and get a fix ASAP.


Does AUTO_PHP_SLOT also support hotplug?

@tools/python/xen/xend/XendDomainInfo.py

    def hvm_destroyPCIDevice(self, vslot):
        log.debug("hvm_destroyPCIDevice called %s", vslot)

        if not self.info.is_hvm():
            raise VmError("hvm_destroyPCIDevice called on non-HVM guest")
... snip ...
        if vslot == AUTO_PHP_SLOT:
            raise VmError("Device @ vslot 0x%x doesn't support hotplug." % 
(vslot))

Best Regards,

Akio Takebe
