Re: [Xen-users] HVM Assigning PCI Device
Your motherboard chipset does not support VT-d.
You can only assign a PCI device to an HVM domain if you have VT-d.
You can assign a PCI device to a PV domain without VT-d.

Hi,
I'm having some problems assigning a PCI device to an OpenBSD HVM. The
HVM will boot without the pci = line in the configuration but as soon as
it is added I get:
# xm create hvm_obsd
Using config file "/etc/xen/hvm_obsd".
Error: Fail to assign device(1:0.0): maybe VT-d is not enabled, or the
device is not exist, or it has already been assigned to other domain
My system is running Gentoo using the 2.6.21-xen kernel and Xen 3.2.1.
I believe that the hardware I am using should support VT-d - a Gigabyte
GA-G33M-S2 (i.e. Intel G33 chipset) and a Core 2 Duo E8200 processor. I
am also confident that the PCI device has been seized by the pciback
driver:
# dmesg | grep seizing
pciback 0000:01:00.0: seizing device
pciback 0000:02:00.0: seizing device
pciback 0000:02:01.0: seizing device
pciback 0000:03:00.0: seizing device
pciback 0000:03:00.1: seizing device
pciback 0000:04:00.0: seizing device
pciback 0000:04:00.1: seizing device
(I'm trying to export a multiport nic exported to the hvm, the actual
interfaces are 03.00.0/1 and 04:00.0/1, the rest I think are PCI
bridges? I don't know if I just have to hide the final address or the
whole tree but neither way works at the moment.)
My suspicion is that the BIOS (using the latest F7f release) for the
machine may not be enabling all the virtualisation features of the
system as in xm dmesg (full output below) I get
(XEN) [VT-D]ACPI DMAR:No DMAR devices found
Are there any suggestions for things to try to get this working? I
thought even if I didn't have VT-d I should still be able to export a
PCI device to a domU? The other thing that I have noticed is that the
/proc/cpuinfo flags do not list vmx when running under xen but if I boot
a Knoppix livecd then this capability is reported, is that to be
expected?
Thanks,
James
