Hi Neil, Thanks for your reply. The -w option is the same as --pci-whitelist mentioned in my first email. Declaring a virtual device with --vdev means that I want to use it but there doesn't seem to be a way to say that I want to use only that device. Clearly the white list option is the way to specify this but if virtual devices are excluded from -w/--pci-whitelist you can't only white list the virtual devices. I want to be able to have the same command line arguments across several systems under test without having to know where the physical devices are (to black list them). My issue is not that I don't want to black list the physical devices it's just that I want to white list the virtual ones. I don't see why that option is not available. Thanks, Nico.
