    Ärende: [OmniOS-discuss] another thread on KVM virtualization...

    Hi!

    Since the thread on "Shopping for an all-in-one server" now turned into virtualization, I felt the urge to continue there, but instead I start a new thread here.

    Many people on the list knows me as a storage- and fibre channel guy, wich is correct.

    So, I would like to have the possibility to add a virtual Fc HBA, a so called NPIV(Node Port ID Virtualization), to a KVM virtual machine.

    That is possible in Linux, but I believe they add it with the aid of virsh or libvirt. But what I've seen, it doesn't look like it would be impossible to add it without these libs/tools.

    Are there any people on this list that has a clue? I guess Garret has...

    Here are a link to RHEL where they discuss this, and give some advices. They "Create the XML definition for the virtual HBA", which perhaps is a possibility also for us in the illumos world...?

    Best regards from/Med vänliga hälsningar från
