+ <summary>
+ vbox: Add support for configuring storage controllers
+ </summary>
+ <description>
+ The VirtualBox driver now supports the
<code><controller></code>
+ element in the domain XML for configuring storage controllers in VBOX
+ VMs. Additionally, libvirt's domain XML schema was updated to allow
+ optional <code>model</code> attribute for
<code><controller
+ type='ide'></code> which is used by the VBOX driver to
set the
+ IDE controller model to be one of 'piix4', 'piix4' (default),
or
+ 'ich6'. Finally, with this change <code>dumpxml</code>
generates
+ <code><controller></code> elements that correspond to
current
+ VBOX VM storage controller configuration.

+ <summary>
+ vbox: Add support for attaching empty removable disks
+ </summary>
+ <description>
+ The VirutalBox driver now supports adding CD-ROM and floppy disk
+ devices that do not have the disk source specified. Previously such
+ devices were silently ignored.
+ </description>

+ <summary>
+ vbox: Add support for attaching SAS storage controllers
+ </summary>
+ <description>
+ In VirtualBox, SCSI and SAS are distinct controller types whereas
+ libvirt does not make such distinction. Therefore, the VBOX driver was
+ updated to allow attaching SAS controllers via <code><controller
+ type='scsi' model='lsisas1068'></code>
element. If there are
+ both SCSI and SAS controllers present in the VBOX VM, the domain XML
+ can associate the disk device using the
<code><address></code>
+ element with the <code>controller</code> attribute, and
optionally,
+ set the port via <code>unit</code> attribute.

+ <change>
+ <summary>
+ vbox: Do not ignore failures to attach disk devices when defining
+ </summary>
+ <description>
+ The <code>define</code> now fails and reports an error if any of
the
+ <code>controller</code> or <code>disk</code> devices
specified in the
+ domain XML fail to attach to the VirtualBox VM.

+ <summary>
+ vbox: Fix <code>dumpxml</code> to always output disk devices
+ </summary>
+ <description>
+ The VirtualBox driver was ignoring any disk devices in
+ <code>dumpxml</code> output if there was a SAS storage controller
+ attached to the VM.
+ </description>

+ <summary>
+ vbox: Fix <code>dumpxml</code> to always generate valid domain XML
+ </summary>
+ <description>
+ When a VirtualBox VM has multiple disks attached, each to a different
+ storage controller that uses 'sd' prefix for block device names e.g.
+ one disk attached to SATA and one to SCSI controller, it no longer
+ generates XML where both would have 'sda' device name assigned.
+ Instead it properly assigns 'sda' and 'sdb' to those disks in
the
+ order of appearance.
