[libvirt-users] can't up the eth in the vm and access to network

[Marco van Beek]

Hi,

If you find that the whole VM does not come up, then it may either be
permissions due to apparmor, (if you are running it), or as I found out,
unless your motherboard supports IOMMU, then PCI passthough (which is
what you appear to be trying to do) will apparently never work.

What you would normally see in the xml file is something like this:

<interface type='network'>
<mac address='54:52:00:18:88:29'/>
<source network='default'/>
</interface>

or

<interface type='bridge'>
<mac address='00:16:3e:19:b4:38'/>
<source bridge='br0'/>
</interface>

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Marco
