What exactly are you missing now?
Maybe it's just a documentation thing. I'm just getting into KVM and
trying to figure everything out, and I don't see a step-by-step guide to
configuring a host/guest system with either SR-IOV or Intel's VMDq.
For SR-IOV I assume I need to configure the PF in the host, enable some
number of VFs, pass through a VF to each guest and load the vf driver.
Is that right?
Do I need to configure a software bridge to allow the guests to talk to
each other? I assume the passthrough require VT-d support in the
hardware and host kernel--is that correct?
Thanks,
Chris
