# q35 - VirtIO guest (serial console)
# =========================================================
#
# Usage:
#
# $ qemu-system-x86_64 \
# -nodefaults \
# -readconfig q35-virtio-serial.cfg \
# -display none -serial mon:stdio
#
# 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
# plus a small selection of core PCI devices and
# controllers; the user will then have to explicitly add
# further devices.
#
# The core PCI devices show up in the guest as:
#
# 00:00.0 Host bridge
# 00:1f.0 ISA bridge / LPC
# 00:1f.2 SATA (AHCI) controller
# 00:1f.3 SMBus controller
#
# 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 q35 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.

# available for hotplug.

# SCSI storage controller (and storage)
# =========================================================

# 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
