vdev

Specify and configure a virtual device to include in the VM

Synopsis:

vdev name [options]*

Options:

The supported options vary with the individual vdev being configured. More information is given below.

Description:

Provide the virtual device name to the guest system that will run in the VM being configured. If name is not already known to the qvm process instance assembling the VM, qvm searchs for a shared library in the host system paths within LD_LIBRARY_PATH to load. If necessary, qvm adds the vdev- prefix or the .so suffix to the library filename if either is not present in the name argument.

There are many options you can provide following the device name. For example, the loc and intr options provide the location and interrupt for the device to use, while the log option specifies the message types to output and the output destination.

For full details about the different supported vdevs and all of the options you can set for each, refer to the Virtual Device Reference chapter.
