Dear Qemu Genius
This is zaifeng (wzf_developer@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
