It seems APICv is available on IvyBridge-EP (Xeon E5/E7v2) only, not for E3v2 :-( Furthermore, if I didn't miss anything in the datasheets, no currently available E3 Xeon offers local APIC virtualization. Can somebody of the xperts confirm that? … >> Can you run a simple experiment, assign pptdev interrupts to core that's >> not running guest/vcpu?

The tunables in > device.hints(5) can't be used for that, can they? I wasn't able to find out how to do that. Any hints highly appreciated! -harry _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-virtualization To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
