This turns out to be a bug in libvirt, fixed in 1.3.4 or later; see the discussion here: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-06/msg07217.html I'm going to close this as 'not a bug', since it's not a bug in QEMU proper.

Add scsi disk to the VM. After add four or more scsi disks, start the VM and will got Qemu error. Steps to reproduce ================== 1.Use virt-manager to create a VM. 2.After the VM is started, add scsi disk to the VM. They will be allocated to "sdb,sdc,sdd....." . 3.If we got a disk name > sdg, virt-manager will also assign a virtio-scsi controller for this disk.And the VM will be shutdown. 4.Start the VM, will see the error log. Expected result =============== Start the vm smoothly.The added disks can work. Actual result ============= Got the error: starting domain: internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: qemu-system-aarch64: /build/qemu-zxCwKP/qemu-2.5+dfsg/migration/savevm.c:620: vmstate_register_with_alias_id: Assertion `!se->compat || se->instance_id == 0' failed. details=Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 90, in cb_wrapper callback(asyncjob, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 126, in tmpcb callback(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/libvirtobject.py", line 83, in newfn ret = fn(self, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 1402, in startup self._backend.create() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/libvirt.py", line 1035, in create if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainCreate() failed', dom=self) libvirtError: internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: qemu-system-aarch64: /build/qemu-zxCwKP/qemu-2.5+dfsg/migration/savevm.c:620: vmstate_register_with_alias_id: Assertion `!se->compat || se->instance_id == 0' failed.
