[OmniOS-discuss] omnios kvm options

[Alex McWhirter]

As long as illumos-kvm is fairly up to date with the official KVM repo then something like this should do.

But keep in mind, that passes through an entire PCI device. So you will have to pass over the entire RAID controller, not just one enclosure attached to it.

You also cannot pass over the controller that you are booting from. So you will need a secondary controller if you don’t already have one.
