| xnox | cyphermox, https://wiki.canonical.com/UbuntuEngineering/Foundations/NVMe instructions on how to boot qemu-kvm with uefi and NVMe drive | 15:12 |
|---|---|---|
| xnox | i dont' know if using recent qemu if that would work for legacy mode too. | 15:13 |
| xnox | at the time only edk has the drivers for nvme drive, and thus uefi only. | 15:13 |
| davmor2 | xnox: whats the nvme bit the rest is what I use with the addition of secureboot | 15:16 |
| xnox | qemu-system-x86_64 -pflash OVMF.fd -m 1024 -cdrom trusty-desktop-amd64.iso -drive file=nvme.img,if=none,id=D22 -device nvme,drive=D22,serial=1234 --enable-kvm | 15:17 |
| xnox | davmor2, ^ | 15:17 |
| xnox | i've also had to build a custom OVMF.fd with nvme driver | 15:18 |
| xnox | no idea if that's needed, or if slangasek has rebuild new enough ovmf which has nvmedriver included | 15:18 |
| davmor2 | xnox: I just use a qcow2 drive currently | 15:18 |
| xnox | eh? | 15:20 |
| xnox | davmor2, nvme is a device type e.g. hdd/sata. | 15:20 |
| xnox | qcow2 is the file format of virtual disks that qemu knows about | 15:21 |
| davmor2 | xnox: yeah that's what I was asking about, just reading up on it now :) | 15:21 |
| xnox | ok | 15:22 |
| davmor2 | http://events.linuxfoundation.org/sites/events/files/slides/Datera-kvm-forum-141009_0.pdf quite a good read for a slide show :) | 15:24 |
| cyphermox | xnox: ah, thanks. I was not aware there was a nvme drivr | 15:42 |
| cyphermox | xnox: fwiw you don't need to build your own ovmf anymore, things works OOB. | 17:42 |
| xnox | cool. | 17:44 |
