Description Shaolong Hu 2012-11-30 02:27:21 UTC
Created attachment 654707 [details]
error device cannot start

Description of problem:
------------------------
Attach 24 usb-storage device to windows guest, sometimes after reboot one disk can not be used with error "device cannot start".


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
--------------------------------------------------------------
qemu-kvm-rhev-0.12.1.2-2.331.el6.x86_64
guest: win7-64

How reproducible:
------------------
50%


Steps to Reproduce:
--------------------
1. boot guest with 24 usb storage
2. reboot guest repeatedly, check device manager, sometimes one disk with error "device cannot start", see screenshot in attachment.


Additional info:
-----------------
I test 6 usb-storage on one echi controller, won't hit this problem, so the number of usb-storage does have matter.

Comment 3 Ronen Hod 2013-05-26 16:14:58 UTC
How is the CPU doing? Could this be the issue?
Bug 949547 - qemu-kvm process consumes 8% cpu even when windows guest is idle inside and 70% when guest uses 10% cpu inside
Is a Linux guest any better?
Deferring to RHEL6.6, since supporting 24 USB disks inside a Win guest is probably not high priority.

Comment 4 Ronen Hod 2013-07-25 09:35:56 UTC
Closing.
Unlikely to be fixed in RHEL6.
Please test with RHEL7, and file a new BZ

Seems we missed this needinfo before.

Can we have a test and update the testing result in the bz?

Best Regards,

Test several times, there is one time that one of 24 usb storage shows "!" in device manager after guest boots, but after "disable"/"enable", it starts correctly, so the situation is better now though has some minor issue.
