Hello All,

Excited about the new unraid xen stuff. I am wondering if there is something I can run from command line, or an easy way to see if my current board can passthrough pci and usb without completely screwing up unraid. The information out there is a little light. Thanks for any help.

Only way to know 100% is to try it.

for your CPU you can run "egrep ‘(vmx|svm)’ /proc/cpuinfo"

but Mb you just need to go into bios and see if there is anything there says virtualization in it.

true enough

I didn't try that board but I had trouble getting iommu working on FM2. I sold the cpu and board and went with an am3 socket setup.

I appreciate the replies, I was in the hospital while my wife was delivering my first beautiful little Girl!... everyone is home, healthy and doing well.

 

I figured the easiest way was to try it out, is there a way to shut down the server, disconnect all the hard drives, boot up in xen from a usb or using a test harddrive and see if the IRVS tables are available without putting in a pci graphics card and attempting pass through? I don't want to fubar my server, and I am sure I could figure out how to test it, but with new technology I often take a simple test and end up doing a 15 step test when that is not required. I have no problem taking the server offline for a test run, but would like to know the easiest way to go about it. As always love the community help, and any advice is appreciated.

 

Worse case I am going to go Xen on an A8 with the AM3 socket, but I already have an A6 and I don't really require another two cores currently if I can get it to work.

 

Thanks,

Rick
