I want to know what exactly VMDirectPath is.

[Kwangwon]

Well, I really need the information what exactly VmDirectPath is. I have a presentation, and I need to make some document about VMDirectPath. But, i'm not sure what it is, and figuring out about it is a bit difficult for me. So, if anyone has the link or helpful advice, could you let me know how and where I can get the information about it?

Here's a KB article covering VMDirectPath configuration:

Configuring VMDirectPath I/O pass-through devices on an ESX host

And here's an article about it:

How to access USB and Other PCI Devices in VMware ESXi4 VMs with VMDirectPath

MentholMoose,

what i want to know was characteristics or functions of VMDirectPath, but your links are helpful anyway.

Thank you.

in short it's assigning a PCIx card that is in the server dedicatedly to the virtual machine. and that the virtual machine will see as that it is natively plugged into it.
