Howdie folks,
My client needs to develop tools that communicate directly with QLA2xxx
cards. at the moment, working on regular kernels he gets the machine
stuck at times. I read somewhere that with Xen, there's a way to let the
VMs talk to the hardware directly and that will make getting unstuck
for a project of some 2-3 months (with option of further projects
after), I'm looking for someone available for work on-site in the Rishon
L'Zion area. Customer has a unique multi-tier setup to design and
deploy, with hosting both here and in the US.
Requirements include:
- Strong bash scripting
Hi,
Yes, I would like to hear about ANY virtualized solution which lets
you lock specific PCI device for use directly (and only) by a VM.
You can do it with USB / firewire devices. To make it work with VM, it
is required (at least according to the qemu mailing list) that the
bios shouldn't map
Hi,
I vaguely remember that UML has direct hardware access. But I might be
talking nonsense now.
Still, worth a check.

Thing is, a real (as opposed to para-virtualized) kernel does not know
Ok,
Would someone show me any VM solution that can lock a PCI/AGP/PCIe
device (such as graphics card), so it can be used with any VM
exclusivly?

Xen however is a bit of a chore. should/could I use KVM
instead? will it support the hardware access I need?
AFAIR, yes.
KVM doesn't AFAIK support direct hardware access by guest VMs. This
is related to the fact that KVM and

Unfortunately passing through a graphics adapter requires some extra
