Hi Ido, Since this is a PXE related issue, could you pls paste your pxe package version here ? eg: rpm -qa | grep -i ipxe Thanks, Xiaoqing. ipxe-roms-qemu-20130517-6.gitc4bce43.el7.noarch AFAIU this is not pxe issue. pxe is just the sumptom of the fact that seabios does not support SRIOV. But I might be wrong. > Actual results:
> The nic option isn't offered by seabios (disk and cd options are)
boot rom missing most likely.
Please attach 'lspci -v' output for the nic (as seen by the guest).
Please attach libvirt domain xml for the guest (or full qemu command line).

Configuration issue, you need to supply one. nilsson root ~# grep "82576 Virtual Function" /usr/share/hwdata/pci.ids 10ca 82576 Virtual Function nilsson root ~# rpm -ql ipxe-roms | grep 10ca /usr/share/ipxe/808610ca.rom So, ipxe seems to have a ipxe rom for that hardware. Try to configure that for the nic. libvirt has support for that (see https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsHostDevSubsys, 'rom' element). Don't know how to do that with ovirt though. great thanks! So we probably should support it in Ovirt. Gerd, it seems that this way is not standard. I don't even have this package on my el7.1 and after a chat in libvirt-list I wa told that: """(for example, I have an 82576 SRIOV card on my Fedora 22 system, and a *much* newer version of ipxe installed: ipxe-roms-qemu-20150407-1.gitdc795b9f.fc22.noarch but do not have the file 808610ca.rom (or *any* file with 10ca in the name) in /usr/share/ipxe)""" Is there a standard way or you expect the SRIOV card user to find the ROM by himself?

"ipxe-roms.rpm" has everything else, but isn't installed by default. As you pass-through physical hardware you have to install the latter. It is in the optional channel for rhel7. > Is there a standard way or you expect the SRIOV card user to find the ROM by > himself? Naming convention used by ipxe is "${vendorid}${deviceid}.rom" for the filename. "8086" is vendor intel, "10ca" is the the vf nic device. Closing until a customer request requests the feature of booting from a VF. |
