There's a small bug in SCSI drive hotplug where QEMU is not assigning unique block device names when you leave the name unspecified $ /home/berrange/usr/qemu-0.12/bin/qemu -vnc :1 -monitor stdio -device lsi QEMU 0.11.91 monitor - type 'help' for more information (qemu) drive_add 0:0:4 file=/home/berrange/mcdboot.img,if=scsi OK bus 0, unit 0 (qemu) drive_add 0:0:4 file=/home/berrange/mcdboot.img,if=scsi OK bus 0, unit 1 (qemu) drive_add 0:0:4 file=/home/berrange/mcdboot.img,if=scsi OK bus 0, unit 2 (qemu) drive_add 0:0:4 file=/home/berrange/mcdboot.img,if=scsi OK bus 0, unit 3 (qemu) info block ide1-cd0: type=cdrom removable=1 locked=0 [not inserted] floppy0: type=floppy removable=1 locked=0 [not inserted] sd0: type=floppy removable=1 locked=0 [not inserted] scsi0-hd0: type=hd removable=0 file=/home/berrange/mcdboot.img ro=1 drv=raw encrypted=0 scsi0-hd0: type=hd removable=0 file=/home/berrange/mcdboot.img ro=1 drv=raw encrypted=0 scsi0-hd0: type=hd removable=0 file=/home/berrange/mcdboot.img ro=1 drv=raw encrypted=0 scsi0-hd0: type=hd removable=0 file=/home/berrange/mcdboot.img ro=1 drv=raw encrypted=0 (qemu) Notice they are all 'scsi0-hd0', instead of scsi0-hd1, scsi0-hd2, etc (Ignore the fact that i attached the same underlying file many times :-) Regards, Daniel -- |: Red Hat, Engineering, London -o- http://people.redhat.com/berrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org -o- http://ovirt.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: GnuPG: 7D3B9505 -o- F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 :|
