The current SCSI hotplug support attaches a brand new SCSI controller for every disk. This is broken because the semantics differ from those used when starting the VM initially. In the latter case, each SCSI controller is filled before a new one is added. If the user specifies an high drive index (sdazz) then at initial startup, many intermediate SCSI controllers may be added with no drives. This patch changes SCSI hotplug so that it exactly matches the behaviour of initial startup. First the SCSI controller number is determined for the drive to be hotplugged. If any controller upto and including that controller number is not yet present, it is attached. Then finally the drive is attached to the last controller. NB, this breaks SCSI hotunplug, because there is no 'drive_del' command in current QEMU. Previous SCSI hotunplug was broken in any case because it was unplugging the entire controller, not just the drive in question. A future QEMU will allow proper SCSI hotunplug of a drive. This patch is derived from work done by Wolfgang Mauerer on disk controllers. * src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Fix SCSI hotplug to add a drive to the correct controller, instead of just attaching a new controller. * src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c, src/qemu/qemu_monitor.h, src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.c, src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.h, src/qemu/qemu_monitor_text.c, src/qemu/qemu_monitor_text.h: Add support for 'drive_add' command
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
