Hi,
I am trying to start machine on RH6.
virsh # start ulp-001
error: Failed to start domain ulp-001
error: internal error process exited while connecting to monitor: char
device redirected to /dev/pts/1
qemu-kvm: -device lsi,id=scsi0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5: Parameter 'driver'
expects a driver name
Try with argument '?' for a list.
virsh # version
Compiled against library: libvir 0.8.1
Using library: libvir 0.8.1
Using API: QEMU 0.8.1
Running hypervisor: QEMU 0.12.1
This is part of the config
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
<source file='/rhev-data/defaultStore/ulp-001a.img'/>
<target dev='sda' bus='scsi'/>
<address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0'
unit='0'/>
</disk>
<controller type='ide' index='0'>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00'
slot='0x01' function='0x1'/>
</controller>
<controller type='scsi' index='0'>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00'
slot='0x05' function='0x0'/>
</controller>
Any tips?

This is a really terrible QEMU error message. What it actually
means is that LSI SCSI is not supported in this QEMU binary.
Only IDE or VirtIO are supported block drivers in RHEL. No SCSI
and no USB

Hi, this is bad, we want to migrate some machines from VMWare, but
internal scripts relly on /dev/sda to be present. Is the support for
'scsi' planned for RHEL6?
Thanks for decoding the message for me ;)

Robert

I expect it is fairly unlikely in the short term, since the QEMU code
has some significant problems in the SCSI area wrt both performance
and data integrity. VirtIO Block is going to be faster& more reliable,
and IDE is going to be more reliable too (not sure of speed of IDE vs
SCSI)
