rbd: Fix to cleanly reject -drive without pool or image

[mirror_qemu.git] / docs / mach-virt-serial.cfg

# mach-virt - VirtIO guest (serial console)
# =========================================================
#
# Usage:
#
#   $ qemu-system-aarch64 \
#     -nodefaults \
#     -readconfig mach-virt-serial.cfg \
#     -display none -serial mon:stdio \
#     -cpu host
#
# You will probably need to tweak the lines marked as
# CHANGE ME before being able to use this configuration!
#
# The guest will have a selection of VirtIO devices
# tailored towards optimal performance with modern guests,
# and will be accessed through the serial console.
#
# ---------------------------------------------------------
#
# Using -nodefaults is required to have full control over
# the virtual hardware: when it's specified, QEMU will
# populate the board with only the builtin peripherals,
# such as the PL011 UART, plus a PCI Express Root Bus; the
# user will then have to explicitly add further devices.
#
# The PCI Express Root Bus shows up in the guest as:
#
#   00:00.0 Host bridge
#
# This configuration file adds a number of other useful
# devices, more specifically:
#
#   00.1c.* PCI bridge (PCI Express Root Ports)
#   01:00.0 SCSI storage controller
#   02:00.0 Ethernet controller
#
# More information about these devices is available below.
#
# We use '-display none' to prevent QEMU from creating a
# graphical display window, which would serve no use in
# this specific configuration, and '-serial mon:stdio' to
# multiplex the guest's serial console and the QEMU monitor
# to the host's stdio; use 'Ctrl+A h' to learn how to
# switch between the two and more.


# Machine options
# =========================================================
#
# We use the virt machine type and enable KVM acceleration
# for better performance.
#
# Using less than 1 GiB of memory is probably not going to
# yield good performance in the guest, and might even lead
# to obscure boot issues in some cases.
#
# Unfortunately, there is no way to configure the CPU model
# in this file, so it will have to be provided on the
# command line, but we can configure the guest to use the
# same GIC version as the host.

# Firmware configuration
# =========================================================
#
# There are two parts to the firmware: a read-only image
# containing the executable code, which is shared between
# guests, and a read/write variable store that is owned
# by one specific guest, exclusively, and is used to
# record information such as the UEFI boot order.
#
# For any new guest, its permanent, private variable store
# should initially be copied from the template file
# provided along with the firmware binary.
#
# Depending on the OS distribution you're using on the
# host, the name of the package containing the firmware
# binary and variable store template, as well as the paths
# to the files themselves, will be different. For example:
#
# Fedora
#   edk2-aarch64                                      (pkg)
#   /usr/share/edk2/aarch64/QEMU_EFI-pflash.raw       (bin)
#   /usr/share/edk2/aarch64/vars-template-pflash.raw  (var)
#
# RHEL
#   AAVMF                                             (pkg)
#   /usr/share/AAVMF/AAVMF_CODE.fd                    (bin)
#   /usr/share/AAVMF/AAVMF_VARS.fd                    (var)
#
# Debian/Ubuntu
#   qemu-efi                                          (pkg)
#   /usr/share/AAVMF/AAVMF_CODE.fd                    (bin)

# =========================================================
#

# SCSI storage controller (and storage)
# =========================================================
#
# We use virtio-scsi here so that we can (hot)plug a large
# number of disks without running into issues; a SCSI disk,
# backed by a qcow2 disk image on the host's filesystem, is
# attached to it.
#
# We also create an optical disk, mostly for installation
# purposes: once the guest OS has been succesfully
# installed, the guest will no longer boot from optical
# media. If you don't want, or no longer want, to have an
# optical disk in the guest you can safely comment out
# all relevant sections below.
