Subject: [ovirt-users] Is it possible to disable qxl video?<br>
<br>
<br>
Hi,<br>
I am doing PCI Passthrough for GPUs.<br>
Is it possible somehow to disable/remove default video qxl?<br>
thanks,<br>
Arman,.<br>
Hi,<br>
<br>
The 4.0 Vdsm allows you to run a headless VM, meaning a VM without graphic device/frontend.<br>
Not sure Engine allows you that however.<br>

<br>
no it doesn’t<br>

<br>
Even if engine allowed that, it may not be the correct solution.<br>
<br>
Running headless with PCI passthrough is considered primary VGA<br>
passthrough[1]. Using primary VGA passthrough without OVMF could cause<br>
(will cause) quite a bit of headaches.<br>
<br>
If you really want to try that, I assume using before_vm_start hook to<br>
remove the video device should be enough.<br>
<br>
[1] <a href="http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_VGA_Passthrough" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_VGA_Passthrough</a> - it's<br>
possible to read about primary and secondary passthrough between the<br>
lines<br>

However, if QXL is the problem (why is that so?) then you can switch to VGA(or CIRRUS if this is still 3.6)<br>
<br>

I'm afraid you will need to write a Vdsm hook.<br>
<br>
There could be simpler solutions depending on the Engine<br>
