Description

This test case verifies that an assigned PCI device can be used to install a KVM guest with virt-install.


How to test

  • Run virt-install as normal, but also supply a nodedev name to --host-device e.g.
  $> virt-install 
        -n hostdev-test -r 1024 --vcpus 2
        --os-variant fedora11 -v --accelerate
        -l http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/x86_64/os
        -x 'console=ttyS0 vnc' --nonetworks --nographics 
        --disk pool=default,size=8
        --debug --host-device=pci_8086_10bd
  • Check that the device is functional in the guest during the installation
  • Complete the installation and reboot the guest
  • Check that the device is functional in the guest
  • Shut down the guest and check that the device is functional in the host

Expected Results

  • virt-install should successfully kick off the install
  • The device should be used by the installer
  • The device should be functional in the guest post-install
  • The device should be functional in the host after the guest is shutdown
