+In order to assign a whole PCI/e device to a VM one should use ```qvm-pci``` tool. E.g.
+
+``` {.wiki}
+lspci
+```
+
+Find the BDF address of the device you want to assign, and then:
+
+``` {.wiki}
+qvm-pci -a <bdf> <vmname>
+```
+
+E.g. assuming 00:1a.0 is a BDF of the device I want to assign to "personal" domain:
+
+``` {.wiki}
+qvm-pci -a 00:1a.0 personal
+```
+
+Note that one can only assign full PCI or PCI Express devices. This means one cannot assign single USB devices -- only the whole USB controller with whatever USB devices connected to it. This limit is imposed by PC and VT-d architecture.
