Re: domU and a PCI network card



Hi Peter,

This is my first taste of Xen.  It was a little rough getting dom0 up on
centos 5, but now I'm looking at netbsd-4-0 in a couple domUs.

I've done the pciback hide in dom0 and it's presenting two PCI devices to
my domU.  Can someone share some kernel conf goodness that represents the
right way to get pci? to bind inside the domU?

I'm specifically trying to get two gig-e ports (wm, two in each domU)
where I'll then need to create vlan's on the nic's.

This will work, right?

I think you'll find that it won't. NetBSD/Xen does not yet support the ability to utilise physical hardware and I believe that is the case even when running a linux dom0 as the supporting code is not present in the domu ... though I could be wrong.

Currently the only supported option I'm aware of is bridging a virtual interface and assigning vlans to the xvif interfaces presented within dom0.

This isn't something I have set up or have even bothered playing with so my assistance probably ends here.
