20.16.4. Controllers
Depending on the guest virtual machine architecture, it is possible to assign many virtual devices to a single bus. Under normal circumstances libvirt can automatically infer which controller to use for the bus. However, it may be necessary to provide an explicit
<controller> element in the guest virtual machine XML:
...
<devices>
<controller type='ide' index='0'/>
<controller type='virtio-serial' index='0' ports='16' vectors='4'/>
<controller type='virtio-serial' index='1'>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x0a' function='0x0'/>
<controller type='scsi' index='0' model='virtio-scsi' num_queues='8'/>
</controller>
...
</devices>
...
Figure 20.25. Controller Elements
Each controller has a mandatory attribute
type, which must be one of "ide", "fdc", "scsi", "sata", "usb", "ccid", or "virtio-serial", and a mandatory attribute index which is the decimal integer describing in which order the bus controller is encountered (for use in controller attributes of address elements). The "virtio-serial" controller has two additional optional attributes, ports and vectors, which control how many devices can be connected through the controller.
A
<controller type='scsi'> has an optional attribute model, which is one of "auto", "buslogic", "ibmvscsi", "lsilogic", "lsias1068", "virtio-scsi or "vmpvscsi". It should be noted that virtio-scsi controllers and drivers will work on both KVM and Windows guest virtual machines. The <controller type='scsi'> also has an attribute num_queues which enables multi-queue support for the number of queues specified.
A
"usb" controller has an optional attribute model, which is one of "piix3-uhci", "piix4-uhci", "ehci", "ich9-ehci1", "ich9-uhci1", "ich9-uhci2", "ich9-uhci3", "vt82c686b-uhci", "pci-ohci" or "nec-xhci". Additionally, if the USB bus needs to be explicitly disabled for the guest virtual machine, model='none' may be used. The PowerPC64 "spapr-vio" addresses do not have an associated controller.
For controllers that are themselves devices on a PCI or USB bus, an optional sub-element
address can specify the exact relationship of the controller to its master bus, with semantics given above.
USB companion controllers have an optional sub-element
master to specify the exact relationship of the companion to its master controller. A companion controller is on the same bus as its master, so the companion index value should be equal.

<address type='pci' domain='0' bus='0' slot='4' function='7'/>
