You have: -drive file=/mnt/my-data-disk.qcow2,if=floppy,id=drive-data-disk,format=qcow2,cache=none -device virtio-scsi-pci,bus=pci.0,addr=0x7,id=scsi0 -device scsi-hd,drive=drive-data-disk,id=data-disk,bus=scsi0.0 So drive-data-disk is in use by both virtio-scsi and floppy. So your second and third example have a perfectly fine error. In the first example, the error ("Property 'virtio-blk-pci.drive' can't take value 'drive-data-disk', it's in use") refers to the virtio-blk-pci device that "if=virtio" creates implicitly. It does not refer to the scsi-hd device. -drive file=/mnt/my-data-disk.qcow2,if=virtio,id=drive-data-disk,format=qcow2,cache=none -device scsi-hd,drive=drive-data-disk,id=data-disk,bus=scsi0.0 But the error is only obscure, not wrong. Will this problem ever by hit through libvirt? (In reply to Ademar Reis from comment #4) > Will this problem ever by hit through libvirt? The libvirt used if=none by default which i think it would not hit this issue at all, as I did not find where to specify if='virtio'/'ide'/'floppy'... in virsh XML configure file. # cat test.xml | grep disk -A 4 <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='none'/> <source file='/home/RHEL-7.0-20140505.1_Server_x86_64.raw'/> <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x06' function='0x0'/> </disk> <interface type='network'> <mac address='52:54:00:92:a5:29'/> <source network='default'/> <model type='rtl8139'/> It generated the qemu-kvm command line as following: ...-drive file=/home/RHEL-7.0-20140505.1_Server_x86_64.raw,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,format=raw,cache=none -device virtio-blk-pci,scsi=off,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6,drive=drive-virtio-disk0,id=virtio-disk0,bootindex=1 Best Regards, sluo Perhaps we should report in use by whom. Because if=virtio is legacy usage, and libvirt always uses if=none with -device, closing this as WONTFIX. |
