Broken doco link for New Host->Kernel boot parameters

Hi, I'm trying to set up one of our nodes with PCI passthrough but there is a dead lnk in the documentation for the kernel boot parameter section of creating a new host. https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/admin-guide/sect-Explanation_of_Settings... Anyone know where this went or can help me with the options? Shareef.

In order to change a kernel parameter - set the host into maintenance -> edit the host -> kernel -> put ticks where necessary or type your kernel parameter and save. Next use the 'Installation' dropdown and select reinstall. Once it's over - reboot the host from UI. At least this is the way I have enabled nested virtualization. Best Regards, Strahil Nikolov

Thanks. The Installation->Reinstall was something I missed but that doesn't seem to have helped. The host info still says that 'Device Passthrough' is Disabled. I'm sure I enabled everything I needed to in the BIOS but will have to double check. This is an old motherboard without IPMI though. Meh.

Under the vm advanced options, under host. You chose a specific host then allow passthrough or pinning.

There are lots of dead links in older docs. Look at the 4.4 docs for updated info.

You mean somewhere other than https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/? On Thu, Apr 16, 2020 at 6:18 PM <eevans@digitaldatatechs.com> wrote:

That’s the one. If there’s a dead link here, it needs reported.

Looks like someone has already reported most of the broken links including this one: https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-site/issues/1228. On Thu, Apr 16, 2020 at 6:35 PM Shareef Jalloq <shareef@jalloq.co.uk> wrote:
