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
