Hi,
I'm trying to attach a host FC HBA to VM (NPIV).
Running ovirt 3.5 on CentOS 6.7, libvirt-0.10.2-46.el6_6.6.x86_64, I created vHBA using
nodedev-create command - see below HBA and vHBA.
I wrote a vdsm hook which appends the vHBA xml stanza to the devices xml element but the
vm start starts without the vHBA device.
Also, when trying to attach the device manually as a live device - I get:
2016-02-01 21:30:24.216+0000: 129764: debug : qemuDomainObjBeginJobInternal:847 : Starting

This is not how you attach a hostdev to a domain. You need to be looking

Thank you for your reply,
I'm still getting hard time to attach the hostdev, I couldn't make it work out of
the doc.
I took the address details from:
# ll /sys/bus/scsi/devices/7:*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Feb 8 12:58 /sys/bus/scsi/devices/7:0:0:0 ->

and added them (7:0:3:0) to this base xml in various formats instead of the default
zeros:

</hostdev>
Libvirt keeps saying:
" error : virDomainHostdevDefParseXMLSubsys:3091 : XML error: unknown host device
source address type 'scsi'"
I still can't figure it out, I still have open questions I can't understand from
the docs:
Am I using the right subsystem type? Or maybe I should attach the host HBA PCI (QLogic)
directly?
Should I use the host scsi_host or should it be the vHBA created uding libvirt?
How exactly I extract the host address and derives the destination address?

You said in your original message that you are using libvirt 0.10.2 on

type='scsi' works only since libvirt 1.0.6 - you are trying to do scsi
hostdev which isn't supported in the version of libvirt you're using.
Depending on your requirements, you may be able to assign the scsi
controller (a PCI device) to the guest (but that would require that no
other disk on that same controller be in use by the host or another
guest). Otherwise you should either assign the disk with <disk> (which
will present an emulated device to the guest, using the contents of
/dev/whatever as the content), or build your own libvirt of a later
version (not recommended unless you really know what you're doing).
Am I using the right subsystem type? Or maybe I should attach the host HBA PCI (QLogic)

Hi again :-)
Upgraded my env - Centos 7.1 host, ovirt 3.6, libvirt-1.2.8-16.el7_1.5.x86_64.
With "sgio='filtered'" in my scsi host-device-assignment xml I'm
getting:
"internal error: 'sgio' is not supported for SCSI generic device yet"
Without it I'm getting:
"internal error: Failed to open /sys/bus/scsi/devices/12:0:0:0/scsi_generic"
None of the devices under /sys/bus/scsi/devices have "scsi_generic" file anyway
so I'm not yet even in a wrong address situation:
# for i in `ls -1 /sys/bus/scsi/devices` ; do cat $i/scsi_generic ; done 2> /dev/null
#
My scenario includes multiple VMs which use the same host HBA, each VM access its own
mapped volumes on a storage server (over FC).
I'd like to create vHBA per VM - the guests OS should handle luns directly without the
host OS to intermediate, hence "Direct LUN" or assigning disk to the vm
isn't good for me.
Assigning PCI to the guest is also impossible because the PCI should be used by multiple
VMs.
Is there a way to fulfil my requirements using libvirt+qemu?
