2 | qemu usb storage emulation | |
3 | -------------------------- | |
4 | ||
43ffe61f | 5 | QEMU has two emulations for usb storage devices. |

7 | Number one emulates the classic bulk-only transport protocol which is | |
8 | used by 99% of the usb sticks on the marked today and is called | |
9 | "usb-storage". Usage (hooking up to xhci, other host controllers work | |
10 | too): | |
11 | ||
12 | qemu ${other_vm_args} \ | |
13 | -drive if=none,id=stick,file=/path/to/file.img \ | |
14 | -device nec-usb-xhci,id=xhci \ | |
15 | -device usb-storage,bus=xhci.0,drive=stick | |
16 | ||

18 | Number two is the newer usb attached scsi transport. This one doesn't | |
19 | automagically create a scsi disk, so you have to explicitly attach one | |
20 | manually. Multiple logical units are supported. Here is an example | |
21 | with tree logical units: | |
22 | ||
23 | qemu ${other_vm_args} \ | |
24 | -drive if=none,id=uas-disk1,file=/path/to/file1.img \ | |
25 | -drive if=none,id=uas-disk2,file=/path/to/file2.img \ | |
26 | -drive if=none,id=uas-cdrom,media=cdrom,file=/path/to/image.iso \ | |
27 | -device nec-usb-xhci,id=xhci \ | |
28 | -device usb-uas,id=uas,bus=xhci.0 \ | |
29 | -device scsi-hd,bus=uas.0,scsi-id=0,lun=0,drive=uas-disk1 \ | |
30 | -device scsi-hd,bus=uas.0,scsi-id=0,lun=1,drive=uas-disk2 \ | |
31 | -device scsi-cd,bus=uas.0,scsi-id=0,lun=5,drive=uas-cdrom | |
