oops. Misunderstood. Sorry. "qemu:///session" shows the list. What is
the difference (shortly if possible)? Two different daemons?


In system mode, the daemon runs as root.  It is the preferable option,
default when connecting as root, supports more features than session mode.

In session mode, the daemon runs under the user who connects, some
features might not work.

There are many differences which I wouldn't be able to explain here, but
I will direct you to http://libvirt.org/drvqemu.html where more on that
can be found.

Thanks, this is exactly I was looking for.


There are 2 scsi drives - one is HDD, the other one is DVD.

HDD is:
-device
scsi-hd,bus=scsi0.0,channel=0,scsi-id=0,lun=0,drive=drive-scsi0-0-0-0,id=scsi0-0-0-0,bootindex=2

-drive
file=/home/aik/virtimg/Fedora-18-ppc64-DVD.iso,if=none,id=drive-scsi0-0-0-1,readonly=on,format=raw



DVD is:
-device scsi-cd,bus=scsi0.0,ch

The second one is cut, "ch" is not a valid parameterer name. Furthermore
when I add a machine with "virsh -c qemu:///system create lalala.xml"
(and I have boith scsi devices in that xml), both parameters are passed
to QEMU as is and it all works.


Not that's interesting!  What's the info in the logs now when you can
access them?  (my previous explanation was aimed at system mode)

I am not sure I understood the question precisely. The only log I can see is the one created on "virsh -c qemu:///session create libvirtguest-aik.xml" (or with "system" instead of "session"), I pasted "ls" from /var/log/libvirtd/ below.

When "virsh ... create ...", the number of SCSI drives in my xml is exactly the same and the command line is passed completely to QEMU so it does not fail as if I run "virt-install".


[root@vpl2 ~]# ls -aR /var/log/libvirt/
/var/log/libvirt/:
.  ..  lxc  qemu  uml

/var/log/libvirt/lxc:
.  ..

/var/log/libvirt/qemu:
.  ..  AikLibvirtTest.log

/var/log/libvirt/uml:
.  ..
[root@vpl2 ~]#


This is a piece from the log after successful run of "virsh create":

2013-04-12 03:35:25.178+0000: starting up

This is the broken command line after "virt-install" (for the reference):

/usr/local/bin/qemu-system-ppc64 -name fc18guest5 -S -M pseries -enable-kvm -m 1024 -smp 1,sockets=1,cores=1,threads=1 -uuid 71f8b17f-ca48-80fe-db58-4d933c66fe2d -no-user-config -nodefaults -chardev socket,id=charmonitor,path=/home/aik/.config/libvirt/qemu/lib/fc18guest5.monitor,server,nowait -mon chardev=charmonitor,id=monitor,mode=control -rtc base=utc -no-reboot -no-shutdown -device pci-ohci,id=usb,bus=pci,addr=0x1.0x2 -device spapr-vscsi,id=scsi0,reg=0x2000 -drive file=/home/aik/virtimg/fc18guest,if=none,id=drive-scsi0-0-0-0,format=raw -device scsi-hd,bus=scsi0.0,channel=0,scsi-id=0,lun=0,drive=drive-scsi0-0-0-0,id=scsi0-0-0-0,bootindex=2 -drive file=/home/aik/virtimg/Fedora-18-ppc64-DVD.iso,if=none,id=drive-scsi0-0-0-1,readonly=on,format=raw -device scsi-cd,bus=scsi0.0,ch
