I can run (successfully) a xen virtual machine use the classical method with xl

xl create -f myvm.xenxl.cfg

I know also how to convert from xl format to libvirt xml

virsh -c xen:///system domxml-from-native xen-xl myvm.xenxl.cfg > myvm.xml

What is the problem? I had to pass a pci device to xen machine, but this work ONLY with this option

pci = [ "0000:08:04.0,rdm_policy=relaxed" ]

when I convert to xml it generate this for the pci device

  <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='no'>
      <driver name='xen'/>
      <source>
        <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x08' slot='0x04' function='0x0'/>
      </source>
    </hostdev>

as you can se the "rdm_policy=relaxed" is ignored so if I start with libvirt generate this error

(XEN) [VT-D] It's disallowed to assign 0000:08:04.0 with shared RMRR at f1ffd000 for Dom3.
(XEN) d3: assign (0000:08:04.0) failed (-1)

my question is: no way to pass the rdm_policy to libvirt?

  • im not sure what kind of devices you are trying, but bugs.xenserver.org/plugins/servlet/mobile#issue/XSO-720 seems that its not supposed to be supported?

  • the device is supported, and I can run the domU sucessfully, but only usning xl create(because accept the rdm_policy). I want to run it with libvirt
