Thanks, Cool, I'll have to check how to tweak xen build.
Will I have to change below disk lines of XL toolkit VM config somehow to enable using Virtio drives emulation or custom xen build just enable it by those kvm-enabled tweak for all HVM guests within hypervisor? vif = [ "model=virtio-net, mac=00:16:3e:11:77:f0, bridge=officevswitch1, ip=10.91.0.224, vifname=cxqastfflivgrl" ] disk = [ "format=raw,vdev=hda,access=rw,backendtype=phy,target=/dev/iscsistore02/disk1237" ] disk = [ "phy:/dev/iscsistore02/disk1238,ioemu:hda,w" ] On Wed, Mar 7, 2018 at 5:08 PM, Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk < konrad.w...@oracle.com> wrote: > On Wed, Mar 07, 2018 at 04:13:47PM +0200, Volo M. wrote: > > Hi Devs, > > > > Could you please help me to identify right way to start using Virtio > > drivers for Xen guests > > as described here https://wiki.xen.org/wiki/QEMU_Upstream . > > I've managed to start my Windows 2008 VM with Virtio network drivers by > > using 'model='virtio-net'' option as described above and it works fine > (but > > only for network interfaces). > > > > The problem is I still can't identify how to make Xen using virtio-blk or > > virtio-scsi backend for 'qemu-xen' qemu-model as mentioned here > > https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/QEMU/Devices/Virtio which should be > > compatible with 'qemu-xen' qemu upstream model. > > > > I can't see any mention about virtio disk types in docs: > > https://xenbits.xen.org/docs/4.8-testing/misc/xl-disk-configuration.txt > . > > Also I've done very common check through Xen source code > ('*/tools/libxl/*' > > area) while looking how to apply virtio disk drivers for our Xen guests. > > > > Can you please clarify if it's been ever implemented.
