Hi Wei,
Thanks, going to take a deeper look into this.
I assume I will have to add the list as following, to allow the XML below to be
accepted by the API when I submit this encoded?
I set this to be allowed for KVM:
domain,devices,hostdev,source,address,memballoon,rng,backend
It should reflect this XML part:
<domain>
<device>
<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'>
<source>
<address domain='0x0000' bus='0x81' slot='0x00' function='0x2'/>
</source>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x07' slot='0x00' function='0x0'
multifunction='on'/>
</hostdev>
<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'>
<source>
<address domain='0x0000' bus='0xc1' slot='0x00' function='0x2'/>
</source>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x09' slot='0x00' function='0x0'
multifunction='on'/>
</hostdev>
<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'>
<source>
<address domain='0x0000' bus='0x81' slot='0x00' function='0x6'/>
</source>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x07' slot='0x00'
function='0x1'/>
</hostdev>
<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'>
<source>
<address domain='0x0000' bus='0xc1' slot='0x00' function='0x6'/>
</source>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x09' slot='0x00'
function='0x1'/>
</hostdev>
<memballoon model='virtio'>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x04' slot='0x00'
function='0x0'/>
</memballoon>
<rng model='virtio'>
<backend model='random'>/dev/urandom</backend>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x05' slot='0x00'
function='0x0'/>
</rng>
</device>
</domain>
I only need to figure out if domain and device are required or not but I will
see when I test it out.
Thanks so far!
JeanPaul

I think you need to add additional configuration to vm.
