The current preferred syntax for disk drives uses -drive file=/vms/plain.qcow,if=virtio,index=0,boot=on,format=qcow The new syntax splits this up into a pair of linked args -drive file=/vms/plain.qcow,if=none,id=drive-virtio-0,format=qcow2 -device virtio-blk-pci,drive=drive-virtio-0,id=virtio-0,addr=<PCI SLOT> SCSI/IDE devices also get a bus property linking them to the controller -device scsi-disk,drive=drive-scsi0-0-0,id=scsi0-0-0,bus=scsi0.0,scsi-id=0 -device ide-drive,drive=drive-ide0-0-0,id=ide0-0-0,bus=ide0,unit=0
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.
