So your Windows VM is managed by libvirt directly? virt-manager/virsh? Then I think it should be supported, never tried that myself. Try searching for 'libvirt pci passthrough' and/or ask on some libvirt mailing list.
If it's something else, please give more details - explain what you want/need to run where, OSes, virt tools/products and versions, etc. Best, ----- Original Message ----- > From: "VONDRA Alain" <[email protected]> > To: "Yedidyah Bar David" <[email protected]> > Cc: "Stefano Danzi" <[email protected]>, [email protected] > Sent: Thursday, February 12, 2015 3:54:55 PM > Subject: RE: Enable Smart Array P212 thru VM > > I use libvirt for this backup server, and I also have a cluster on oVirt, but > for this case I only want to use a virtualized Windows 2008 to in case > restore old tape created on our old Symantec BackUp Exec 2010 software. > > > > > > Alain VONDRA > Chargé d'exploitation des Systèmes d'Information > Direction Administrative et Financière > +33 1 44 39 77 76 > UNICEF France > 3 rue Duguay Trouin 75006 PARIS > www.unicef.fr > > > > > -----Message d'origine----- > De : Yedidyah Bar David [mailto:[email protected]] > Envoyé : jeudi 12 février 2015 14:45 > À : VONDRA Alain > Cc : Stefano Danzi; [email protected] > Objet : Re: Enable Smart Array P212 thru VM > > I thought that if you ask on users@ovirt, you use ovirt... > > What do you use, then? iiuc libvirt already supports that. > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "VONDRA Alain" <[email protected]> > > To: "Yedidyah Bar David" <[email protected]>, "Stefano Danzi" > > <[email protected]> > > Cc: [email protected] > > Sent: Thursday, February 12, 2015 3:39:22 PM > > Subject: RE: Enable Smart Array P212 thru VM > > > > I can't unlikely take this solution, because I don't use oVirt and I > > have to use a CentOS 6.6 version because o f the kernel version 2.6 > > supported by Acronis Backup Thanks > > > > > > > > > > > > Alain VONDRA > > Chargé d'exploitation des Systèmes d'Information Direction > > Administrative et Financière > > +33 1 44 39 77 76 > > UNICEF France > > 3 rue Duguay Trouin 75006 PARIS > > www.unicef.fr > > > > > > > > > > -----Message d'origine----- > > De : [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] De la > > part de Yedidyah Bar David Envoyé : jeudi 12 février 2015 11:24 À : > > Stefano Danzi Cc : [email protected] Objet : Re: [ovirt-users] Enable > > Smart Array P212 thru VM > > > > Another future option, targeted for 3.6, is pci passthrough [1] [2]. > > > > [1] http://www.ovirt.org/Features/hostdev_passthrough > > [2] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1099760 > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > > From: "Stefano Danzi" <[email protected]> > > > To: [email protected] > > > Sent: Thursday, February 12, 2015 12:09:01 PM > > > Subject: Re: [ovirt-users] Enable Smart Array P212 thru VM > > > > > > You could share a tape library as iSCSI target and connet it to the VM. > > > I've never do a similar thing but internet give some suggestions: > > > > > > http://scst.sourceforge.net/target_iscsi.html > > > http://www.kraftkennedy.com/virtualizing-scsi-tape-drives-with-an-is > > > cs > > > i-bridge/ > > > > > > > > > > > > Il 12/02/2015 10.40, VONDRA Alain ha scritto: > > > > Hi, > > > > I'd like to know if there is any solution to enable a Smart Array > > > > P212 PCIe card over a Windows VM ? > > > > I've a Backup Acronis Software to install, and I'd prefer to > > > > install it on a CentOS distrib, and not on a Windows 2008 R2. > > > > Our old backup software is Symantec Backup Exec and we have to > > > > keep the possibility to restore old tapes on demand. > > > > So the solution to keep a sleeping Windows VM, and have the way to > > > > enable it, just to restore a tape would be perfect. > > > > I've tried to add a new hardware with virt-manager, but this > > > > action just freeze the manager, and I need to restart the libvirtd > > > > service to unlock it. > > > > If anybody knows a way to do that, I'd be very grateful. > > > > Thanks in advance > > > > > > > > > > > > Alain VONDRA > > > > Chargé d'exploitation des Systèmes d'Information Direction > > > > Administrative et Financière > > > > +33 1 44 39 77 76 > > > > UNICEF France > > > > 3 rue Duguay Trouin 75006 PARIS > > > > www.unicef.fr > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > > > Users mailing list > > > > [email protected] > > > > http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > > Users mailing list > > > [email protected] > > > http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users > > > > > -- > > Didi > > _______________________________________________ > > Users mailing list > > [email protected] > > http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users > > > > -- > Didi > > -- Didi _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
