[libvirt-users] trying but failing - pass-through scsi/sata
hi everybody
I'd imagine this topic must have been covered, yet I've
failed to find any really helpful and a solid howto/examples
of how to pass-through a sata disks.
currently I'm having this in my xml:
<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='scsi' managed='no'>
<source>
<adapter name='scsi_host4'/>
<address bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
</source>
<address type='drive' controller='4' bus='0'
target='0' unit='0'/>
</hostdev>
I took it from
http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsHostDevSubsys
yet a Linux guest (SL7) fails to find/detect any disks, if I
dumpxml I get this:
<device>
<name>block_sdb_OCZ_VERTEX4_OCZ_352C77TZVQF1Y3SX</name>
<path>/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/ata5/host4/target4:0:0/4:0:0:0/block/sdb</path>
<parent>scsi_4_0_0_0</parent>
<capability type='storage'>
<block>/dev/sdb</block>
<bus>ata</bus>
<drive_type>disk</drive_type>
<model>OCZ-VERTEX4</model>
<vendor>ATA</vendor>
<serial>OCZ-VERTEX4_OCZ-352C77TZVQF1Y3SX</serial>
<size>128035676160</size>
<logical_block_size>512</logical_block_size>
<num_blocks>250069680</num_blocks>
</capability>
</device>
how do I pass-through sata drives?
any help much appreciated, thanks!
