This resolves https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1008903 The Q35 machinetype has an implicit SATA controller at 00:1F.2 which isn't given the "expected" id of ahci0 by qemu when it's created. The original suggested solution to this problem was to not specify any controller for the disks that use the default controller and just specify "unit=n" instead; qemu should then use the first ide or sata controller for the disk. Unfortunately, this "solution" is ignorant of the fact that in the case of SATA disks, the "unit" attribute in the disk XML is actually *not* being used for the unit, but is instead used to specify the "bus" number; each SATA controller has 6 buses, and each bus only allows a single unit. This makes it nonsensical to specify unit='n' where n is anything other than 0. It also means that the only way to connect more than a single device to the implicit SATA controller is to explicitly give the bus names, which happen to be "ide.$n", where $n can be replaced by the disk's "unit" number. --- src/qemu/qemu_command.c | 15 ++++++--------- tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-pcihole64-q35.args | 2 +- tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-q35.args | 2 +- 3 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/qemu/qemu_command.c b/src/qemu/qemu_command.c index 4628dac..e6239c9 100644 --- a/src/qemu/qemu_command.c +++ b/src/qemu/qemu_command.c @@ -4383,18 +4383,15 @@ qemuBuildDriveDevStr(virDomainDefPtr def, if (qemuDomainMachineIsQ35(def) && disk->info.addr.drive.controller == 0) { /* Q35 machines have an implicit ahci (sata) controller at - * 00:1F.2 which has no "id" associated with it.
