    • RE: Hailo-8L AI accellerator PCI passthrough causes xcp-ng hypervisor infinite boot-loop

      @olivierlambert

      It wasn't my first time doing this. Previously I successfully passedthrough FibreChannel HBA to VM.
      But I understand your point. This is output form history command. I copied only interesting part:

      18  lspci | grep hailo
      19  lspci
      20  /opt/xensource/libexec/xen-cmdline --set-dom0 "xen-pciback.hide=(0000:08:00.0)"
      21  /opt/xensource/libexec/xen-cmdline --get-dom0 xen-pciback.hide
      22  reboot
      

      and this is output from lspci -vn

      08:00.0 0b40: 1e60:2864 (rev 01)

      	Kernel driver in use: pciback
      	Kernel modules: hailo_pci
      

      As you can see there is hailo_pci kernel module (currently not used). But during my first attempts it was not present, so boot loop was caused without this driver. I only compiled it later during my debugging process.

      No, but I can recreate issue and collect such logs. Where I can find this logs?

      What can I tell is that this issues was present also on xcp-ng 8.2. I thought that upgrading to 8.3 may fix this issue.

    • Hailo-8L AI accellerator PCI passthrough causes xcp-ng hypervisor infinite boot-loop

      Hello,

      this is my first post on this forum, so I want to thank your for your work on xcp-ng.

      Failed PCI passthrough attempt:
      In my case I have problems with passing through PCI device. When I follow guide from page https://docs.xcp-ng.org/compute/ just after hiding pci device and rebooting server, hypervisor can;t boot and sticks in infinite boot loop. I had to boot it into safe mode and remove pci hide option. Then everything went back to normal.

      Success PCI passthrough:
      There is another possibility to pass through PCI device without rebooting hypervisor. This method is described on XEN page: https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_PCI_Passthrough. It is called Dynamic assignment with xl.
      So when I follow xen docummentation I was able passthrough my device into VM and I can confirm that everything is working correctly. I successfully connected AI coprocessor with firgate VM.

      It would be great to fix pci passthrough with hiding pci device from Dom0. In this case I will be able to configure my VM to autostart after server reset.

      My xcp-ng version is 8.3 with all patches applied as for time of writing this post.
      My server is HP DL380 gen 9
