Xen PVH machine (``xenpvh``) |
|||
========================================= |
|||
|
|||
Xen supports a spectrum of types of guests that vary in how they depend |
|||
on HW virtualization features, emulation models and paravirtualization. |
|||
PVH is a mode that uses HW virtualization features (like HVM) but tries |
|||
to avoid emulation models and instead use passthrough or |
|||
paravirtualized devices. |
|||
|
|||
QEMU can be used to provide PV virtio devices on an emulated PCIe controller. |
|||
That is the purpose of this minimal machine. |
|||
|
|||
Supported devices |
|||
----------------- |
|||
|
|||
The x86 Xen PVH QEMU machine provide the following devices: |
|||
|
|||
- RAM |
|||
- GPEX host bridge |
|||
- virtio-pci devices |
|||
|
|||
The idea is to only connect virtio-pci devices but in theory any compatible |
|||
PCI device model will work depending on Xen and guest support. |
|||
|
|||
Running |
|||
------- |
|||
|
|||
The Xen tools will typically construct a command-line and launch QEMU |
|||
for you when needed. But here's an example of what it can look like in |
|||
case you need to construct one manually: |
|||
|
|||
.. code-block:: console |
|||
|
|||
qemu-system-i386 -xen-domid 3 -no-shutdown \ |
|||

|||

|||
