Not able to add pcie card to guest: Operation not permitted
Let's say I have libvirt
[root@vmhost2 ~]# virsh version
Compiled against library: libvirt 4.5.0
Using library: libvirt 4.5.0
Using API: QEMU 4.5.0
Running hypervisor: QEMU 2.12.0
[root@vmhost2 ~]#
running on centos 8 and then I have this card
[root@vmhost2 ~]# virsh nodedev-dumpxml pci_0000_01_00_0
<device>
<name>pci_0000_01_00_0</name>

</capability>
</device>
which I added to the guest (arch='x86_64' machine='pc-q35-rhel7.6.0') as
<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'>
<source>
<address domain='0x0000' bus='0x01' slot='0x00'
function='0x0'/>
</source>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x08'
slot='0x00'
function='0x0'/>
</hostdev>
When I try to start the guest I get the following error message:
[root@vmhost2 ~]# virsh start testfedora
error: Failed to start domain testfedora
error: internal error: qemu unexpectedly closed the monitor:
2020-04-24T20:01:35.341020Z qemu-kvm: -device
vfio-pci,host=01:00.0,id=hostdev0,bus=pci.8,addr=0x0: vfio error:
0000:01:00.0: failed to setup INTx fd: Operation not permitted
[root@vmhost2 ~]#
Why is it telling me that is not permitted?
