libvirt users - Feb 2013 - [Q] how to manage Infiniband disk(SRP) volume wit libvirt.

Dear members.

I'm looking for best practice for administration Infiniband SRP volume
with libvirt (virsh)

How to manage these volumes?

  * SRP Disk is /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-2766f6c3030303037 or /dev/sdi

    Now I edited guest domain file with ``virsh edit XXXX'' command
    and append the following lines.

      <disk type='block' device='disk'>
        <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
        <source dev='/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-2766f6c3030303037'/>
        <target dev='vdc' bus='virtio'/>
        <address type='pci' domain='0x0000'
bus='0x00' slot='0x06'
function='0x0'/>
      </disk>

    It seems work fine, however I feed it is a little bit slow.

    Can I attach this volume another(good performance) way?
    ie. attach as scsi disk.

Thank you for your advice.

Sincerely.
