Dear Qemu Genius
This is zaifeng (wzf_develo...@foxmail.com) (WeChat ID: QemuKVM). Yes, I am a cloud engineer. (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧ May I ask you some questions about Qemu? ---------------- Here is the problem: If you use IDE disk on a Windows VM, "QEMU HARDDISK" could be found from device manager. Some applications will refuse to boot on virtualized environment by detecting if the disk name contains "QEMU" string. I have no idea why, maybe they worried about copy-vm = copy-license? I know for virtio-scsi disks, it's possible to change it by adding </vendor> </product> </serial> in libvirt-xml. However it does not work for IDE disk. Simply detach or convenrt that IDE disk to virtio-scsi solves the problem. However, we hope that our customer could use IDE disk without any configuration. ---------------- So..... Here is my questions: Q1: How to change the vendor-name of a IDE disk? Is there any API(s) to config it? I can't find the way from libvirt-doc. In Qemu code, I seems that "QEMU HARDDISK" is just by default, and it's configurable. Q2: Why add </vendor> </product> </serial> in libvirt-xml doesn't work for IDE disk? Why only virtio-scsi disk support this kind of config? Is there any hint? story? background? reason? ---------------- I hope any Qemu Genius could answer my question! Qemu project push the human-race forward, and I want to be that part of progress! Kind Regards, zaifeng. ヽ(✿゚▽゚)ノ
