[ovirt-users] Enable Smart Array P212 thru VM

[VONDRA Alain]

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
