How to turn on VT-d in Xen
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
1 ) cd xen-unstable.hg
|
|
2 ) make install
|
|
3 ) make linux-2.6-xen-config CONFIGMODE=menuconfig
|
|
4 ) change XEN->"PCI-device backend driver" from "M" to "*".
|
|
5 ) make linux-2.6-xen-build
|
|
6 ) make linux-2.6-xen-install
|
|
7 ) depmod 2.6.18.8-xen
|
|
8 ) mkinitrd -v -f --with=ahci --with=aacraid --with=sd_mod --with=scsi_mod initrd-2.6.18-xen.img 2.6.18.8-xen
|
|
9 ) cp initrd-2.6.18-xen.img /boot
|
|
10) lspci - select the PCI BDF you want to assign to guest OS
|
|
11) "hide" pci device from dom0 as following sample grub entry:
|
|
|
|
title Xen-Fedora Core (2.6.18-xen)
|
|
root (hd0,0)
|
|
kernel /boot/xen.gz com1=115200,8n1 console=com1 vtd=1
|
|
module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen root=LABEL=/ ro console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200,8n1 pciback.hide=(01:00.0)(03:00.0) pciback.verbose_request=1 apic=debug maxcpus=1
|
|
module /boot/initrd-2.6.18-xen.img
|
|
|
|
12) reboot system
|
|
13) add "pci" line in /etc/xen/hvm.conf for to assigned devices
|
|
pci = [ '01:00.0', '03:00.0' ]
|
|
15) start hvm guest and use "lspci" to see the passthru device and
|
|
"ifconfig" to see if IP address has been assigned to NIC devices.

VT-d Enabled Systems
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
1) For VT-d enabling work on Xen, we have been using development
|
|
systems using following Intel motherboards:
|
|
- DQ35MP
|
|
- DQ35JO
|
|
|
|
2) As far as we know, following OEM systems also has vt-d enabled.
|
