disk passtrough


Recommended Posts

I have ssd i want to test western digital dashboard app which exist only on windows.

I passed trough the ssd to a windows vm :

<disk type='block' device='disk'>
      <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='writeback'/>
      <source dev='/dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WDS500G2B0B-00YS70_XXXXXXXXXX' index='2'/>
      <backingStore/>
      <target dev='hdd' bus='virtio'/>
      <alias name='virtio-disk3'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x09' function='0x0'/>
    </disk>

Windows sees the disk but not as a western digital ssd. It's a red hat virtio SCSI disk device and so western digital dashboard doesn't detect any ssd.

Is there a way to have the ssd (or any disk) detected as if it were physically connected to the windows vm ?
