   Hi, nice post !

   Do you know why we can´t enable DirectPath I/O on RedHat 6 X64 servers?
   We have all memory reserved, but even that way it won´t goes to enable.

   Our windows 2008 Enterprise servers are working fine with DirectPath I/O plus Performace Monde on UCS DVS.

   Tks
   Gustavo

     Hi Gustavo

     The fact that you have your Windows servers working correctly it sounds like a RHEL optimisation is missing somewhere.

     Try working through the below doc

     If still no joy contact TAC

     Regards
     Colin

       I would venture to say that the RHEL6 Guest needs to have vmtools installed. DirectPath will not be enable without vmtools for linux installed on the RHEL6 OS.
