From ec7efac4a967c650ae1cd8cebe28e7c69cbe3864 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Daniel P. Berrange" Date: Mon, 7 Dec 2009 20:51:49 +0000 Subject: Fix backcompat for hotplug of SCSI controllers SCSI controllers have no trouble existing without any attached disks. This could be achieved with the (legacy) monitor syntax pci_add pci_addr=auto storage if=scsi This is now denied with scsi requires a backing file/device. failed to add if=scsi There is no need for this denial and it breaks compatability with existing QEMU usage, so remove the check for presence of a drive.
