virDomainDiskDefAssignAddress
To expand on that, in the case of detaching a disk, you could 1) provide
the target dev in the XML you give to "virsh
detach-device", 2) give the
target dev name that you provided in the original XML when you call
"virsh detach-disk", or 3) you could specify a custom alias in the
original XML ("<alias name='ua-somename'/>" - note that the
leading
"ua-" is *required* for a custom alias name) and then give that same
alias to "virsh detach-device-alias". All three will allow you to
reliably select the disk you want, and have the same result.
Thank you very much for the information. I didn't know how to use a custom
alias. I'm going to study about it.
