The old syntax was
-chardev SOMECONFIG
-nic user,guestfwd=tcp:IP:PORT-chardev:CHARDEV
The new syntax is
-chardev SOMECONFIG
-netdev user,guestfwd=tcp:IP:PORT,chardev=ID,id=user-ID
The old syntax was
-usbdevice host:PRODUCT:VENDOR
Or
-usbdevice host:BUS.DEV
The new syntax is
-device usb-host,product=PRODUCT,vendor=VENDOR
Or
-device usb-host,hostbus=BUS,hostaddr=DEV
The previous syntax was severely limited in its options
-usbdevice disk:/home/berrange/output.img
The new syntax is the same as for other disk types
-drive file=/home/berrange/output.img,if=none,id=usb-1,index=1
-device usb-storage,drive=usb-1
Again, the index= arg is wrong here, and will be removed in a
later merge
The current syntax uses a pair of args
-net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:56:6c:55,vlan=3,model=pcnet,name=pcnet.0
-net user,vlan=3,name=user.0
The new syntax does not need the vlan craziness anymore, and
so has a simplified pair of args
-netdev user,id=user.0
-device pcnet,netdev=user.0,id=pcnet.0,mac=52:54:00:56:6c:55,addr=<PCI SLOT>
The current syntax for audio devices is a horrible multiplexed
arg
-soundhw sb16,pcspk,ac97
The new syntax is
-device sb16,id=sound0
or
-device AC97,id=sound1,addr=<PCI SLOT>
NB, pcspk still uses the old -soundhw syntax
The current character device syntax uses either
-serial tty,path=/dev/ttyS2
Or
-chardev tty,id=serial0,path=/dev/ttyS2 -serial chardev:serial0
With the new -device support, we now prefer
-chardev file,id=serial0,path=/tmp/serial.log -device isa-serial,chardev=serial0
This patch changes the existing -chardev syntax to use this new
scheme, and fallbacks to the old plain -serial syntax for old
QEMU.
The monitor device changes to
-chardev socket,id=monitor,path=/tmp/test-monitor,server,nowait -mon chardev=monitor
In addition, this patch adds --nodefaults, which kills off the
default serial, parallel, vga and nic devices. THis avoids the
need for us to explicitly turn each off
Existing applications using libvirt are not aware of the disk
controller concept. Thus, after parsing the <disk> definitions
in the XML, it is neccessary to create <controller> elements
to satisfy all requested disks, as per their defined drive
addresses
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/conf/domain_conf.h,
src/libvirt_private.syms: Add virDomainDefAddDiskControllers()
method for populating disk controllers, and call it after
parsing disk definitions.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Call virDomainDefAddDiskControllers()
when doing ARGV -> XML conversion
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv*.xml: Add disk controller
data to all data files which don't have it already
The current code for using -drive simply sets the -drive 'index'
parameter. QEMU internally converts this to bus/unit depending
on the type of drive. This does not give us precise control over
the bus/unit assignment though. This change switches over to make
libvirt explicitly calculate the bus/unit number.
In addition bus/unit/index are actually irrelevant for VirtIO
disks, since each virtio disk is a separate PCI device. No disk
controller is involved.
Doing the conversion to bus/unit in libvirt allows us to correctly
attach SCSI controllers when required.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Specify bus/unit instead of index for
disks
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-disk*.args: Switch over from
using index=NNNN, to bus=NN, unit=NN for SCSI/IDE/Floppy disks
When parsing the <disk> element specification, if no <address>
is provided for the disk, then automatically assign one based on
the <target dev='sdXX'/> device name. This provides for backwards
compatability with existing applications using libvirt, while also
allowing new apps to have complete fine grained control.
* src/conf/domain_conf.h, src/conf/domain_conf.c,
src/libvirt_private.syms: Add virDomainDiskDefAssignAddress()
for assigning a controller/bus/unit address based on disk target
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Call virDomainDiskDefAssignAddress() after
generating XML from ARGV
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/*.xml: Add in drive address information
to all XML files
Change -monitor, -serial and -parallel output to use -chardev if it is
available.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Update qemudBuildCommandLine to use -chardev where
available.
* tests/qemuxml2argvtest.c tests/qemuxml2argvdata/: Add -chardev equivalents
for all current serial and parallel tests.
Introduce a new type="dir" mode for <disks> that allows use of
QEMU's virtual FAT block device driver. eg
<disk type='dir' device='floppy'>
<source dir='/tmp/test'/>
<target dev='fda' bus='fdc'/>
<readonly/>
</disk>
gets turned into
-drive file=fat:floppy:/tmp/test,if=floppy,index=0
Only read-only disks are supported with virtual FAT mode
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/conf/domain_conf.h: Add type="dir"
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: Document new disk type
* src/xen/xend_internal.c, src/xen/xm_internal.c: Raise error for
unsupported disk types
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-disk-cdrom-empty.args: Fix
empty disk file handling
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-disk-drive-fat.args,
tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-disk-drive-fat.xml,
tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-floppy-drive-fat.args,
tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-floppy-drive-fat.xml
tests/qemuxml2argvtest.c: Test QEMU vitual FAT driver
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Support generating fat:/some/dir type
disk args
* src/security/security_selinux.c: Temporarily skip labelling
of directory based disks
If one has e.g.
<guest>
<os_type>hvm</os_type>
<arch name='x86_64'>
<wordsize>64</wordsize>
<emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64</emulator>
<machine>pc-0.11</machine>
<machine canonical='pc-0.11'>pc</machine>
<machine>pc-0.10</machine>
<machine>isapc</machine>
<domain type='qemu'>
</domain>
<domain type='kvm'>
<emulator>/usr/bin/kvm</emulator>
<machine>pc</machine>
<machine>isapc</machine>
</domain>
</arch>
</guest>
and start a guest with:
<domain type='kvm'>
...
<os>
<type arch='x86_64'>hvm</type>
...
</os>
</domain>
then the default machine type should be 'pc' and not 'pc-0.11'
Issue was reported by Anton Protopopov.
* src/capabilities.[ch]: pass the domain type to
virCapabilitiesDefaultGuestArch() and use it to look up the default
machine type from a specific guest domain if needed.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/xen/xm_internal.c: update
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-machine-aliases2.xml: update
the domain type to 'kvm' and remove the machine type to check
that the default gets looked up correctly
Latest upstream QEMU can be built with Xen support, which introduces
a -xen-domid argument. This was mistakenly detected as -domid due
to old Xenner support. Adapt to cope with both syntax. Also only
set domid if the virt type is xen, or the guest type is xen
* src/qemu_conf.c, src/qemu_conf.h: Detect new -xen-domid flag in
preference to -domid.
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-bootloader.args,
tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-input-xen.args: Add missing
-domid param
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-misc-uuid.args: Remove bogus
-boot param.
* tests/qemuxml2argvtest.c: Add missing QEMUD_CMD_FLAG_DOMID params

which doesn't have any aliases, while the guest has aliases
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-machine-aliases2.*,
tests/qemuxml2argvtest.c: add a test using /usr/bin/kvm and make
sure that 'pc' machine type doesn't get canonicalized using the
aliases in the guest machine type list
* tests/testutilsqemu.c: make 'pc' an alias for qemu-system-x86_64
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-machine-aliases1.*,

virExec will write out the pid of the daemonized process only. Use this
in the QEMU driver, rather than QEMU's pidfile, so we can catch errors we
might miss if the emulator bails early.
Seems like a simple typo - it has been "format=" since the flag
was introduced, but we added it as "fmt=".

handling code. In particular, if you had a section of XML like:
<disk type='file' device='cdrom'>
<target dev='hdc' bus='ide'/>
<readonly/>
</disk>
This used to work with older libvirt, but now fails. This is because we are
actually passing the literal string (null) to the qemu command-line, which qemu
barfs on. This patch fixes it up by making it blank, which allows qemu to
continue on it's merry way.
