Re: [Users] EL5 support for VirtIO SCSI?

Hi Paolo. I think this would be quite a useful patch. The two benefits as far as I can see would be: (1) smoother importing of VMs from Vmware/vsphere/vcenter into hypervisors that make use of libvirt. The VM definition would not need to change the scsi adapter property. (2) potentially allow usi

Hello Stefan. Thanks.  I understand qemu supports other scsi adapters however.  See this post from earlier this year. That post makes reference to the following hbas: auto, buslogic, ibmvscsi. lsilogic, lsisas1068, lsisas1078, virtio-scsi, vmpvscsi. The post is referring to libvirt, so the number

Re: [Users] EL5 support for VirtIO SCSI?

Hello Itamar. The specific use case is a particular propriety filesystem that needs to see a scsi device.  It will do scsi inquiry conmmands to verify suitability. In talking to the devs - of the filesystem - there is no way around it.  I'd previously tried virtio-block - resulting in the /dev/vd

Hi Rene. I specifically need the scsi support (virtio-scsi). I do know about the virtio-block support, which results in /dev/vd* devices as you say. From what I read even EL6 earlier than 6.3 does not support virtio-scsi Alternatively, does oVirt support an emulated scsi adapter of a different ty

Hi, afaik the rhel 5 kernel series just has not the necessary drivers for all virtio stuff, so it's not supported and does not work, unless you want to patch your own kernel. Am 13.11.2013 06:44, schrieb Paul Jansen: > I have just set up an Ovirt 3.3.0 install and have done a test install of > C

[Users] EL5 support for VirtIO SCSI?

I have just set up an Ovirt 3.3.0 install and have done a test install of Centos 6.4 in a VM.  The VM was configured with an IDE drive and a virtio-scsi drive.  The Centos 6.4 install sees both drives OK. I'm wanting to do some testing on a product that is based on EL5, but I'm finding that it c
