I can't unlikely take this solution, because I don't use oVirt and I have to use a CentOS 6.6 version because o f the kernel version 2.6 supported by Acronis Backup Thanks Alain VONDRA Chargé d'exploitation des Systèmes d'Information Direction Administrative et Financière +33 1 44 39 77 76 UNICEF France 3 rue Duguay Trouin 75006 PARIS www.unicef.fr -----Message d'origine----- De : users-bounces@ovirt.org [mailto:users-bounces@ovirt.org] De la part de Yedidyah Bar David Envoyé : jeudi 12 février 2015 11:24 À : Stefano Danzi Cc : users@ovirt.org Objet : Re: [ovirt-users] Enable Smart Array P212 thru VM Another future option, targeted for 3.6, is pci passthrough [1] [2].

You could share a tape library as iSCSI target and connet it to the VM. I've never do a similar thing but internet give some suggestions:

Hi, I'd like to know if there is any solution to enable a Smart Array P212 PCIe card over a Windows VM ? I've a Backup Acronis Software to install, and I'd prefer to install it on a CentOS distrib, and not on a Windows 2008 R2. Our old backup software is Symantec Backup Exec and we have to keep the possibility to restore old tapes on demand. So the solution to keep a sleeping Windows VM, and have the way to enable it, just to restore a tape would be perfect. I've tried to add a new hardware with virt-manager, but this action just freeze the manager, and I need to restart the libvirtd service to unlock it. If anybody knows a way to do that, I'd be very grateful. Thanks in advance
