Hi there,
I'm looking into running DPDK on VMs running on Xenserver.
I note the very recent changes where Dom0 support has been removed from the project, hence to save confusion on my part I thought I'd ask the question...
If I want to share an adapter (say Intel X550 or XL710) between two VMs using Xen on the same machine is this still possible? If so, what is the best approach?
The requirement is for multiple VMs to share the adapter, not just a single VM.
Any thoughts greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Terry.
