Task #7260

Updated by ll nu about 5 years ago

A customer requested, because our vm-s start slow because of entropy starvation. 

 A fix is to add the pcie device, however easily we can only fix implement this for new to newly created vms: 
 http://docs.opennebula.org/5.8/deployment/open_cloud_host_setup/pci_passthrough.html 

 because we are using the qemu backend we could somehow add it live to existing vm-s but it would require more effort: 
 https://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Hotadd_pci_devices 

 we could recommend our users to install haveged but: 
 "The quality of the generated entropy is not guaranteed and sometimes contested"¹
