docs: Incorporate information in usb-storage.txt into rST manual
We already have a section on USB in the rST manual; fold the information in docs/usb-storage.txt into it. We add 'format=raw' to the various -drive options in the code examples, because QEMU will print warnings these days if you omit it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The ``usb-bot`` and ``usb-uas`` devices can be hotplugged. In the hotplug

the device until the ``attached`` property is explicitly set to true.

#. ``device-add scsi-{hd,cd},bus=foo.0,lun=0``

qemu usb storage emulation
|
||||
--------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
QEMU has three devices for usb storage emulation.
|
||||
|
||||
Number one emulates the classic bulk-only transport protocol which is
|
||||
used by 99% of the usb sticks on the market today and is called
|
||||
"usb-storage". Usage (hooking up to xhci, other host controllers work
|
||||
too):
|
||||
|
||||
qemu ${other_vm_args} \
|
||||
-drive if=none,id=stick,file=/path/to/file.img \
|
||||
-device nec-usb-xhci,id=xhci \
|
||||
-device usb-storage,bus=xhci.0,drive=stick
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Number two is the newer usb attached scsi transport. This one doesn't
|
||||
automagically create a scsi disk, so you have to explicitly attach one
|
||||
manually. Multiple logical units are supported. Here is an example
|
||||
with tree logical units:
|
||||
|
||||
qemu ${other_vm_args} \
|
||||
-drive if=none,id=uas-disk1,file=/path/to/file1.img \
|
||||
-drive if=none,id=uas-disk2,file=/path/to/file2.img \
|
||||
-drive if=none,id=uas-cdrom,media=cdrom,file=/path/to/image.iso \
|
||||
-device nec-usb-xhci,id=xhci \
|
||||
-device usb-uas,id=uas,bus=xhci.0 \
|
||||
-device scsi-hd,bus=uas.0,scsi-id=0,lun=0,drive=uas-disk1 \
|
||||
-device scsi-hd,bus=uas.0,scsi-id=0,lun=1,drive=uas-disk2 \
|
||||
-device scsi-cd,bus=uas.0,scsi-id=0,lun=5,drive=uas-cdrom
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Number three emulates the classic bulk-only transport protocol too.
|
||||
It's called "usb-bot". It shares most code with "usb-storage", and
|
||||
the guest will not be able to see the difference. The qemu command
|
||||
line interface is similar to usb-uas though, i.e. no automatic scsi
|
||||
disk creation. It also features support for up to 16 LUNs. The LUN
|
||||
numbers must be continuous, i.e. for three devices you must use 0+1+2.
|
||||
The 0+1+5 numbering from the "usb-uas" example isn't going to work
|
||||
with "usb-bot".
|
||||
|
||||
Starting with qemu version 2.7 usb-bot and usb-uas devices can be
|
||||
hotplugged. In the hotplug case they are added with "attached =
|
||||
false" so the guest will not see the device until the "attached"
|
||||
property is explicitly set to true. That allows to attach one or more
|
||||
scsi devices before making the device visible to the guest, i.e. the
|
||||
workflow looks like this:
|
||||
|
||||
(1) device-add usb-bot,id=foo
|
||||
(2) device-add scsi-{hd,cd},bus=foo.0,lun=0
|
||||
(2b) optionally add more devices (luns 1 ... 15).
|
||||
(3) scripts/qmp/qom-set foo.attached = true
