If a machine is Q35, the primary sata controller is hardcoded in qemu to have the id "ide" (with no index in the name). Likewise on 440fx-based machinetypes, the primary ide controller is called "ide". All other SATA controllers will have the standard name "sata%d", where %d is the index of the controller, and if any additional IDE controllers are ever supported, they will have the name "ide%d". --- src/qemu/qemu_command.c | 15 +++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 15 insertions(+) diff --git a/src/qemu/qemu_command.c b/src/qemu/qemu_command.c index 340478c..89beeb3 100644 --- a/src/qemu/qemu_command.c +++ b/src/qemu/qemu_command.c @@ -1049,6 +1049,21 @@ qemuAssignDeviceControllerAlias(ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED virDomainDefPtr def, else ret = virAsprintf(&controller->info.alias, "pci.%d", controller->idx); break; + case VIR_DOMAIN_CONTROLLER_TYPE_IDE: + /* for any machine based on I440FX, the first (currently only) + * IDE controller is an integrated controller hardcoded with + * id "ide" + */ + if (qemuDomainMachineIsI440FX(def) && controller->idx == 0) + ret = VIR_STRDUP(controller->info.alias, "ide"); + break; + case VIR_DOMAIN_CONTROLLER_TYPE_SATA: + /* for any Q35 machine, the first SATA controller is the + * integrated one, and it too is hardcoded with id "ide" + */ + if (qemuDomainMachineIsQ35(def) && controller->idx == 0) + ret = VIR_STRDUP(controller->info.alias, "ide"); + break; default: break; } -- 2.1.0 -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
