[Qemu-discuss] Get guess to detect a scsi disk

[Ming-Ching Tiew]

I am using qemu 2.0 to get a guest to detect a scsi disk, but the guest is unable to do it. I tried this syntax :-

qemu-system-x86_64 .... -drive file=/tmp/hd.test,if=scsi,media=disk,bus=0,unit=6,cyls=38,heads=255,secs=63

qemu-system-x86_64 .... -drive file=/tmp/hd.test,if=scsi,media=disk,index=0

qemu-system-x86_64 .... -drive file=/tmp/hd.test,if=scsi,media=disk,bus=0,unit=6

Change it to if=ide works. Do I have to prepare the disk in certain manner or compile qemu to include certain features ?

The qemu has been compile with this :-

./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --enable-gtk --with-gtkabi=3.0 --enable-uuid --target-list=x86_64-softmmu,i386-softmmu
