Hi,
I want to create a virtual hci device on my virtual machine. I have seen
that qemu has options supporting this
https://qemu.weilnetz.de/doc/qemu-doc.html#Bluetooth_0028R_0029-options
and
https://qemu.weilnetz.de/doc/qemu-doc.html#pcsys_005fusb
Is there any support for these options in libvirt? I was not able to find
anything in documentation so I added the qemu command line xml as follows
<qemu:commandline>
<qemu:arg value='-usbdevice'/>
<qemu:arg value='bt:hci'/>
<qemu:arg value='-bt'/>
<qemu:arg value='hci,host'/>
</qemu:commandline>
but when I try to run my machine from virt-manager i get the following
error:
Error starting domain: internal error: process exited while connecting to
monitor: 2017-02-28T21:25:51.735987Z qemu-system-x86_64: -device
ich9-usb-ehci1,id=usb,bus=pcie.0,addr=0x1d.0x7: PCI: slot 29 function 7 not
available for ich9-usb-ehci1, in use by ich9-usb-ehci1
this error does not appear if I remove the commandline xml nodes
Does anyone have any guidance for troubleshooting this?
If it helps at all, virsh -v gives 2.1.0, virt-manager about page lists
1.3.2 and qemu-system-x86_64 --help gives 2.6.1 I am running Ubuntu 16.10.
thanks,
Max Ehrlich

QEMU will assign addresses for any device that doesn't have an address present. Your custom device is missing an address and QEMU is asigning one, unaware that the address it picks will clash with one assigned by libvirt. To fix this you probably need to add addressing to your device addition, but I'm unclear about exactly how the bluetooth devices work in QEMU so can't give an explicit recommendation Regards, Daniel -- |: http://berrange.com -o- http://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org :| |: http://entangle-photo.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :|
Daniel, Thanks for the reply. This is pretty much what I had assumed. I would guess that assigning any free address, or telling qemu to plug the bt device into a controller that libvirt creates, might work, but I cant find anything in the documentation for qemu that would assign an address via command line. Do you know how to do it? thanks, Max On Wed, Mar 1, 2017 at 4:11 AM Daniel P.
