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 ->
../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.0/0000:08:00.1/host7/rport-7:0-0/target7:0:0/7:0:0:0

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Feb 8 12:58 /sys/bus/scsi/devices/7:0:2:0 ->

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Feb 8 12:58 /sys/bus/scsi/devices/7:0:3:0 ->

and added them (7:0:3:0) to this base xml in various formats instead of the default
zeros:
<hostdev mode="subsystem" " type="scsi">
<source>
<adapter name="scsi_host7"/>
<address bus="0" target="0" unit="0"/>
</source>
<readonly/>
<address bus="0" controller="0" target="0"
type="drive" unit="0"/>
</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?

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:

This is not how you attach a hostdev to a domain. You need to be looking at
<hostdev/>:
