Description
RHEL Program Management
2010-04-06 12:32:47 UTC
Verified on kvm-83-164.el5_5.2, Passed 1. With default bios, emulated devices appeared on the "Safely Remove Hardware" list under WinXP, as in " Safely remove Intel 82371SB PCI to ISA bridge Safely remove Intel(R) PRO/1000MT Network Connection #2 Safely remove Cirrus Logic 5446 Compatible Graphics Adapter " 2. By using "-bios bios-nohotplug.bin" option, no list of emulated devices are provided by the "Safely Remove Hardware" under WinXP. CLI: 1. using default bios # usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -m 2G -smp 2 -drive file=winXP-32.raw,if=ide,cache=off -net nic,model=e1000,vlan=1,macaddr=02:00:40:3F:20:10 -net tap,vlan=1,script=/etc/qemu-ifup -boot c -uuid 17544ecc-d3a1-4d3c-a386-12daf50015f1 -usbdevice tablet -no-hpet -rtc-td-hack -no-kvm-pit-reinjection -monitor stdio -notify all -cpu qemu64,+sse2 -balloon none -startdate now -vnc :1 -M rhel5.5.0 2. using nohotplugable bios /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -m 2G -smp 2 -drive file=winXP-32.raw,if=ide,cache=off -net nic,model=e1000,vlan=1,macaddr=02:00:40:3F:20:10 -net tap,vlan=1,script=/etc/qemu-ifup -boot c -uuid 17544ecc-d3a1-4d3c-a386-12daf50015f1 -usbdevice tablet -no-hpet -rtc-td-hack -no-kvm-pit-reinjection -monitor stdio -notify all -cpu qemu64,+sse2 -balloon none -startdate now -vnc :1 -M rhel5.5.0 -bios bios-nohotplug.bin 1. Further tested with various Windows OSes on kvm-83-164.el5_5.6. The previously "Safe remove ..." options for devices (NIC, PCI to ISA bridge, QXL) disappeared. ------------------------ guest OS | Result ------------------------ winXP | P win7-32 | P win7-64 | P win2003-32 | P win2003-64 | P win2008-32 | P win2008-64 | P win2008r2 | P ------------------------- P-pass; F-fail As can been seen, all passed with "-bios bios-nohotplug.bin" (and could be reproduced with default bios.bin). 2. Regarding QXL, "-bios bios-nohotplug.bin" disables unhotplug "Red Hat QXL GPU" and "Red Hat Virtual Desktop Interface Port" as well, no option for "safely" removing them. |
