Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] Intel ET Quad Port NIC - PCI Passthrough / VT-d
Hi Simon,


Thanks for the informative response.

A kind of related question....

Does anyone know the minimum required kernel and Xen versions for PCI
pass through to work on the new AMD chipsets?


Thanks,

Rob

Hi Robert,

you should certainly be able to pass through only one of the ports,
and I expect you should be able to pass through different ports to
different VMs.
