So beyond patch 3 which I know you have to repost anyway - starting
with
this patch and going forward, I figure you have to repost anyway as
long
as I get the question in patch 5 answered of course...
This patch left me with a concern. Up to this point vboxAttachDrives
would add at least one controller for each type supported regardless
of
whether the VM used it.
After this patch only those controllers defined in the VM XML will be
added. Which would seem to be fine, except for the case of hotplug
which
I wasn't clear whether vbox support or not.
Let's say the VM is defined with and IDE controller, if someone tried
to
add a SCSI disk after startup, then there'd be no SCSI controller
already present.
I've just checked this with VirutalBox GUI and the only thing that can
be changed on live VM is removable media (CD/DVD). All options to add
disk devices to controller are disabled when VM is running. Neither
quick web search returned anything useful regarding hot-add disk
support on VBOX.
Having said that, the original behavior was, IIRC, the reason why I
actually started working on this series. According to our tech support
they have ran into a couple of cases where the OS would BSOD (some
legacy Windows OS e.g. 2000 or XP) when there was a controller (without
a disk) attached to VM that the OS did not handle well. It sounded very
strange to me but I've been told it was not a one-off case though I
personally haven't reproduced it. Unfortunately, I won't be able to
provide more details as we no longer use VBox internally (migrated to
KVM) so those potential test cases are no longer around.

I think prior to this patch - there should be a patch that "manages"
all
those range check differences, storageBus comparison checks, etc. for
VIR_DOMAIN_CONTROLLER_TYPE_SATA that end up in future patches.
