Hi all,
According to Eric's approach, I dumped its xml, but can not find its address as mentioned in former mail(Or,is it a bug?). Could you show me a detailed example for my doubt, thanks.
# virsh dumpxml rhel
<domain type='kvm' id='7'>
<name>rhel</name>
<uuid>205c40e0-e917-47fe-9c4a-1f35748ffd21</uuid>
<memory unit='KiB'>1048576</memory>
<currentMemory unit='KiB'>1048576</currentMemory>
...
<devices>
<emulator>/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm</emulator>
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='none'/>
<source file='/mnt/jiahu/images/rhel.img'>

To force the guest to see the device under a particular UBS controller,
you need to include an <address> designation in your XML.
Check the 'virsh dumpxml' output to see what <address> got autogenerated
for your use case, then adjust the bus number in that address to instead
point to the controller number you want it associated with.
