[libvirt] libvirt -- add virtio-scsi disk with scsi-generic

Hi, Paolo, All, I read "virtio-scsi support proposal v2"(http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.libvirt/50428). Try to add a virtio-scsi with scsi-generic like this: <hostdev type='scsi'> <source> <adapter name='scsi_host0'/> <address type='scsi' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/> </source> <target> <address type='scsi' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='2'/> </target> </hostdev> But It turn out to be wrong, showing: error: Failed to define domain from rhel63ga error: XML error: unknown host device source address type 'scsi_host' I'd like to know how shall to add a virtio-scsi disk with scsi-generic option. Thanks~ -- Best regards, Cheng

But It turn out to be wrong, showing:

Sorry for mistake, "scsi_host" should be "scsi"
I'd like to know how shall to add a virtio-scsi disk with scsi-generic option.
Thanks~

It's not yet supported by libvirt. Paolo

Thank you~ I'd like to know when it is supported? Is it on schedule? 2013/1/24 Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>:

Right, it's not supported yet, it's on my TODO list (yes, on schedule), but it will be after the patches for "Migration with NPIV". Even might be after (or before) integration of ivshmem server into libvirt. So you may have to wait for a while.
