Okay, auto-generating device data based on the whole domain definition makes sense in DeviceDefPostParse. Reading my reply, it seems I thought leaving that check there would not play well with checking the drive addresses against all devices, not just the devices of the "opposite" type.

It seems the check would be just as effective in DeviceDefPostParse. ACK with the attribute removed and the check moved to PostParse. (If you still believe it should reamin as is, just resend it and wait for an ACK from someone else :)) > Patch 11 - just sets up to make patch 12 appear cleaner > > Patch 12 - checks to ensure the generated address based on name doesn't > conflict with some defined SCSI hostdev address. > ACK to these two. While they do not catch all the cases, they at least check that the address generated by libvirt does not clash with user's input.
