Hi:
  Do you still need any more info?

Comment 8 Pavel Hrdina 2016-05-09 15:31:07 UTC
Hi, I didn't realized that RHEL-7.2 doesn't have all the checks in virt-host-validate as upstream libvirt.  Are you sure, that the IOMMU in bios is enabled and also the intel_iommu=on is on the command line?

Please check again, that the vt-d is enabled in bios and the intel_iommu=on is properly passed to the kernel.  If everything works, you should be able to see several iommu groups inside /sys/kernel/iommu_groups/ directory.

I've tried it and everything works.

Comment 9 yaoal 2016-05-11 06:18:30 UTC
Hi:
  After checking with our customer, Now they can assign BCM5719 NIC to VM now;
  They said they have made some error settings in bios and kernel before;

  thanks for helping;
