[Qemu-discuss] PCI passthrough of a single VF to more than one VM

[Kevin Wilson]

Hi,
Is it possible to assign a VF (I am interested in a VF of a PCI
Ethernet NIC) to more than one VM ?
(using "-device pci-assign,host=$VF_PCI_ID" directive ) ?

I tried to assign the same device in this way to two VMs but I got an
error (something about resource busy).
But maybe I have an error in the setup. Moreover, if it is not
possible, I would like to know the reason why
it is so.

Regards,
KW
