PCI passthrough

Post by Magboro »

Hello,

Is it possible to configure pci passthrough on a solaris 11.1 hosts ?

If not, is there any plan to ever support it ?

Thanks

I see that you have two previous outstanding issues. Please follow up on those before asking any more questions.

Done, even though those issue are sort of obsolate now.

I have a solaris 12 host, but it does work the same way as solaris 11.1

I would like to be able to dedicate the wifi interface to a guest, and since bridged interface is not supported for wifi interface on solaris guests, pci passthrough would be the only option

Currently, PCI passthrough is only supported on Linux hosts with modern kernels. The devs don't usually reveal their future plans.
