Re: [libvirt] [PATCH 3/3] qemu: Auto-generate controller for hotplugged hostdev

If a SCSI hostdev is included in an initial domain XML, without a corresponding controller statement, one is created silently when the guest is booted. When hotplugging a SCSI hostdev, a presumption is that the controller is already present in the domain either from the original XML, or via an earlier hotplug. [root@xxxxxxxx ~]# cat disk.xml <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='scsi'> <source> <adapter name='scsi_host0'/> <address bus='0' target='3' unit='1088438288'/> </source> </hostdev> [root@xxxxxxxx ~]# virsh attach-device guest01 disk.xml error: Failed to attach device from disk.xml error: internal error: unable to execute QEMU command 'device_add': Bus 'scsi0.0' not found Since the infrastructure is in place, we can also create a controller silently for use by the hotplugged hostdev device.
