Intel VT-d

In the Intel VT-d pane, you can assign some of the Parallels server PCI Express (PCIe) devices to your virtual machines.

Note: This pane is available in Parallels Management Console only if the Parallels server supports the Intel VT-d technology and the Intel VT-d support is enabled in BIOS.

Specifying Intel VT-d Settings

The table presented in the Intel VT-d pane consists of the following columns:

  • The PCIe Devices column lists all PCIe devices available to the Parallels server.
  • In the Assignment column, you can see the assignments of these PCIe devices. There are two types of assignments:
    • Host Computer. If you select this assignment, the device will be available to the Parallels server only.
    • Virtual Machines. If you select this assignment and click OK, an appropriate pass-through driver will be automatically installed into the Parallels server. This driver will make the PCIe device invisible. It will enable you to assign this device directly to a virtual machine. To use the device in a virtual machine, you should add it to the virtual machine configuration with the help of Add Hardware Wizard.
