Hi guys,
I want to attach a few USB disks to specified USB controller in domain on libvirt layer, but I didn't find any method to deal with it. Anyone can help me on that?
I added some USB type disk to my domain, started it, I found all USB disk had been attached to same USB controller automatically, I want to assign some USB disks to another controller manually but I can't find the entry. qemu-kvm has provided command line to support it by using "bus" argument.(like: device_add usb-storage,id=my_usb_disk,drive=my_usb_disk,bus=usb.0 )
Action steps:
1. Add some USB disks to domain xml,
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
<source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/usb-img/usb-1.img'/>
<target dev='sda' bus='usb'/>
<alias name='usb-disk0'/>
</disk>
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
<source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/usb-img/usb-2.img'/>
<target dev='sdb' bus='usb'/>
<alias name='usb-disk1'/>
</disk>
...
2. Added more than 2 USB controller to domain xml
<controller type='usb' index='0'>
<alias name='usb0'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x2'/>
</controller>
<controller type='usb' index='1'>
<alias name='usb1'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x06' function='0x0'/>
</controller>
<controller type='usb' index='2'>
<alias name='usb2'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x0'/>
</controller>
<controller type='usb' index='3'>
<alias name='usb3'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x08' function='0x0'/>
</controller>
3. Enter into guest OS to check those usb device
[root@localhost ~]# lsusb -t
