No, there isn't a way to do that.

[smartos-discuss] His there a way to pass a physical disk to a VM?

[Miguel C]

Sorry If I missed something trivial in the doc/man pages, Is this possible?

Say the vm is a windows guest, so If I wanted to add a raw device to the
guest instead of defining a size of a virtual disk, how could I do that?

Hi Stefan,

Glad to hear that worked for you.

Yes, that change should be included in the 201702016 release.

Thanks for reporting the problem!

We should have NVMe 1.1 support as of the merge of
https://www.illumos.org/issues/7382. We'll work on NVMe 1.2 when we
track down some devices that support it.

If you're pulling the device, that suggests that you have a U.2 form
factor device, is that correct? If so, we don't have NVMe hotplug
support yet, but it is something we're looking at for Purley based
platforms.

I think you should be able to reproduce the issues encountered by booting
SmartOS under SmartOS KVM with qemu_extra_opts tweaking the virtio physical
and logical block sizes e.g.:

I was certainly able to trip a bug with those particular settings which
seemed like the kind of thing an SSD might do.
When using those settings, diskinfo got the size wrong and the system was
unable to create a ZFS pool.
