Hi all,
I am trying to configure a kvm guest using pci passthrough to pass it a wireless pci adapter (host is my personal laptop). But when I try to start it:
error: Failed to start domain obsdfw error: unsupported configuration: host doesn't support passthrough of host PCI devices
What's the libvirt XML for the domain?
PCI passthrough is enabled:
[ 0.000000] Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.10.0-327.28.3.el7.x86_64 root=UUID=48220e4e-228c-42d9-a0af-482c2fc7c008 ro crashkernel=auto rhgb quiet intel_iommu=on [ 0.000000] Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.10.0-327.28.3.el7.x86_64 root=UUID=48220e4e-228c-42d9-a0af-482c2fc7c008 ro crashkernel=auto rhgb quiet intel_iommu=on
And supported according dmesg output:
root@lapdev01# dmesg | grep IOM [ 0.000000] Intel-IOMMU: enabled
Is the VFIO module installed, and can you see IOMMU groups in "ls -lR /dev/vfio"?
What's the host processor model? If this is the only line you see, chances are your processor doesn't support VT-d, this line is just an acknowledgment of the intel_iommu=on parameter, it doesn't indicate that it's really enabled as it implies. The line you need to see is:
DMAR: Intel(R) Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O
Find your processor on http://ark.intel.com/ and look for VT-d support. Thanks,
Alex
Oops .. You are right Alex. My processor doesn't support VT-d according to Intel.
Many thanks for your help.
