Hi,
We have a KVM qcow2 image to be launched on a KVM host. From Dashboard, I don't
find a way to specify the disk type for a new instance as IDE. The instance was
launched with a virtio disk type.
virsh dumpxml <kvm_vm_name>
shows the following.
....
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='qcow2' cache='none'/>
<source
file='/opt/stack/data/nova/instances/2f317b2e-f3b8-40cd-ba79-402231ccee51/disk'/>
<target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x08'
function='0x0'/>
</disk>
....
I want it to be
<target dev='vda' bus='ide'/>
<address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' unit='0'/>
The libvirt.xml under data/nova/instances/<image_id>
....
<disk type="file" device="disk">
<driver name="qemu" type="qcow2" cache="none"/>
<source
file="/opt/stack/data/nova/instances/2f317b2e-f3b8-40cd-ba79-402231ccee51/disk"/>
<target bus="virtio" dev="vda"/>
</disk>
....
I want it to be
<target bus="ide" dev=vda"/>
I could manually change libvirt.xml and virsh edit <kvm_vm_name> as mentioned
above. But I want to be able to do it either from Dashboard GUI or commands
such as glance or nova.
Does anyone have any pointers on workarounds / solution on this?
Thanks
Pattabi
