Hello,
reading here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/virtio-scsi
it should be possible to use virtio-scsi, even if not completely
integrated in libvirt.
And installation would require this part for the hard disk:
-drive if=none,id=hd,file=/path/to/test.img -device
virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi -device scsi-hd,drive=hd
I have now an F17 host (kernel 3.3.7) and F17 guest (3.4.0) configured
with a virtio_blk disk
guest definition for the disk is this:
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='qcow2'/>
<source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/f17.img'/>
<target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00'
slot='0x06'
function='0x0'/>
</disk>
Can I change it with "virsh edit" so that I can use virtio-scsi inside
guest and test?
What would be the xml snippet for it? Or do I have to use also a
wrapper to start qemu-kvm with particular options as during install?
Thanks in advance,
Gianluca
