Re: [Xen-users] MAC Address for GPL PV network card

["Thiago Camargo Martins Cordeiro" <thiagocmartinsc@xxxxxxxxx>]

Nemeth,

 Have you tested GPL PV with Xen-3.3 and your Windows 2k3 in a HVM stubdomain?

 What is the best to virtualize Windows in Xen-3.3, normal HVM with GPL PV drivers or Xen-3.3 HVM Stubdom without GPL PL?

OK, I've already said that I think they only want to explain that you
have to omit the "type=ioemu" and "model=rtl8139/ne2k_pci" directives,
in order to turn that virtual NIC into a paravirtualized one instead of
a fully virtualized. I've tested it on xen 3.3.0 and Windows 2k3
enterprise with Xen PV Drivers 0.9.11-pre17, and it works! The MAC
address of the virtual card is exactly the same I set to. Here's the
config:

name="vw-storman2"
uuid="7b77d277-e99a-e25b-3652-61e936f78abb"
