The 0+1+5 numbering from the "usb-uas" example isn't going to work with "usb-bot". +Starting with qemu version 2.7 usb-bot and usb-uas devices can be +hotplugged. In the hotplug case they are added with "attached = +false" so the guest will not see the device until the "attached" +property is explicitly set to true. That allows to attach one or more +scsi devices before making the device visible to the guest, i.e. the +workflow looks like this: + + (1) device-add usb-bot,id=foo + (2) device-add scsi-{hd,cd},bus=foo.0,lun=0 + (2b) optionally add more devices (luns 1 ... 15). + (3) scripts/qmp/qom-set foo.attached = true + enjoy, Gerd |
