PCI device doesn't show in XO or xe pci-list

olivierlambert

@marcoi Right now it's hard coded. But we'll see what could be the best approach on this

@olivierlambert thanks for the update.
and just to confirm, if a device is not showing up in xe list with uuid, there is no way to pass it to a VM correct?

olivierlambert

No, you can pass it anyway, it's just not doable via XO. But the CLI method should work

marcoi

@olivierlambert to confirm the steps
i can skip this step since it isnt showing up anyways

xe pci-disable-dom0-access uuid=<pci uuid>

then use

xe vm-param-set other-config:pci=0/0000:04:01.0 uuid=<vm uuid> to add it to vm

olivierlambert

That might work indeed. If it doesn't, you'll have to go via the old method:

/opt/xensource/libexec/xen-cmdline --set-dom0 "xen-pciback.hide=(0000:04:01.0)"

Please let us know (this way we could update the doc)

xe vm-param-set other-config:pci=0/0000:c6:00.0 uuid=45d0f537-9076-b395-1fbd-850d2cc0cf68

This command worked. I was able to pass through the usb and also pcie devices i can get to using XO.

Perfect! It's just a matter of stuff hidden for some reasons, at least it doesn't cause any problem, which is what matters

is there anyway to block igpu from being used by xcp-ng during boot? I have it setup for pass through but it fails under the VM. I think it because xcp-ng still displaying the console screen and does not want to give it up.
