Hello, my name is Paul.
I need to map a PCI device for a virtual machine.
The Linux distribution is Ubuntu server 9.10, infrastructure
virtualization is "KVM". The virtual machine will install trixbox. To
map the PCI card is a "Digium TDM410p.
There currently, KVM hosts a virtual machine that runs smoothly
without any problems. In fact, this virtual machine is running
Openfiler and has direct access to 2 physical disks installed on the
server.
Creating a new virtual machine can not connect the Digium card,
directly to the virtual machine.I tried in 2 ways.
1. Directly editing the XML file for the virtual machine with the
parameters indicated in the documentation:
...
<devices>
<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci'>
<source>
<address bus='0x01' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/>
<-----
this is my personal configuration
</ source>
</ hostdev>
</ devices>
...
2. Adding the PCI card via virt-manager
In both cases, the virtual machine will not start. Virt-manager
returns this error:
"Error starting domain/ monitor socket did not show up./ Connection
refused"
"Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py", line 493, in
run_domain
vm.startup()
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 558, in
startup
self.vm.create()
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/libvirt.py", line 293, in
create
if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainCreate() failed',
dom=self)
libvirtError: monitor socket did not show up.: Connection refused"
Can someone kindly help me?
Thanks
