Hi Todd,

the PCI device which I would need to "share" is the fibre channel card
connected to two different storage, on of this is the VMs repository
which has to be visible to dom0 and the other one is the data storage
for VMs which, obviously, has to be visibile to VMs. So the solution
would be using two different fibre channel cards, right?

Thanks,
Jan
