Hi,
I'm new to this group so bear with me.
So I need to passthrough a pci device on a particular bus and slot to get Linux to
recognize it correctly.
I need pci bus 6, slot 0.
However whenever I try to use this slot inside of virsh edit it complains:
error: XML error: Invalid PCI address 0000:06:00.0. slot must be >= 1
Failed. Try again? [y,n,i,f,?]:
Is there a way to work around this ? Like can I disable the strict XML checking or even
run the qemu commands manually?
Thanks,
Andy

There are HOST PCI addresses and GUEST PCI addresses. For instance,
<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'>
<source>
<address domain='0x0000' bus='0x06' slot='0x12'
function='0x5'/>
</source>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00'
slot='0x03'
function='0x0'/>
</hostdev>
This will assign (PCI passthrough is bad term BTW) PCI device which is
found on the HOST on address 06:12.5 to the GUEST where it will be at
00:03.0. Or do you need the device to appear at specific address in the
GUEST?
However whenever I try to use this slot inside of virsh edit it complains:
error: XML error: Invalid PCI address 0000:06:00.0. slot must be >= 1

This suggests that you have a controller that creates bus 6 but already
has something plugged on slot 1 so it is not available.

No, we don't support disabling XML checking. If we did the code would
explode because of all the special casing. Also, if you didn't get the
error from libvirt, you'd get it from qemu. It doesn't matter.
As for manual qemu commands - sure 'virsh qemu-monitor-command'
