KVM Virtual Machines

This section details the installation of KVM on a Linux host, and provides details on installing and connecting a NETINT video transcoder device to a Linux Guest or Windows Guest Virtual Machine (VM).

 There are two methods for using a Virtual Machine with Quadra. The user can pass the physical device to the VM, or they can pass the virtual device to the VM.

The use of a virtual device on a host requires SR-IOV supporting firmware on the NETINT device. Quadra firmware has supported SR-IOV since version 4.1.1, and so any subsequent version of Quadra firmware will also support SR-IOV.
