?? how to activate the inter vt-d

Solution

In CentOS 7, append the kernel command line parameters to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX entry in /etc/sysconfig/grub.

For example, change:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.lvm.lv=centos/swap rd.lvm.lv=centos/root vconsole.font=latarcyrheb-sun16 crashkernel=auto  vconsole.keymap=us rhgb quiet"

to:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.lvm.lv=centos/swap rd.lvm.lv=centos/root vconsole.font=latarcyrheb-sun16 crashkernel=auto  vconsole.keymap=us rhgb quiet intel_iommu=on"

Then regenerate the grub configuration with dracut:

dracut --regenerate-all --force
