[ldoms-discuss] Hybrid IO question

[Pierre Musy]

Hi Eric,
Is this ability to assign PCI-E-card or PCI-E card leaf ??
What I mean by leaf is a link (a port) in a PCI-E card with several 
links/ports (e.g Quad Ethernet or dual FC). In others words can hybrid 
IO allow to assign only one of the several links/ports in such cards ??
Please, correct me if I'm wrong in my understanding.

Regards .......... pierre

> Hi, hybrid I/O (in this context, more correctly termed PCI-E direct I/O) is the ability to assign individual PCI-E cards to a domain.  It is planned for an upcoming release of LDoms.  Actual date & release vehicle are still TBD, but it is a priority for us to get this done, and then to follow on with PCI-E IOV support, so we can assign individual virtual functions to a domain.
