<h1>Node devices XML format</h1>
<ul id="toc"></ul>
<h2><a name="NodedevAttributes">Node Device XML</a></h2>
<p>
There are several libvirt functions, all with the
prefix <code>virNodeDevice</code>, which deal with management of
host devices that can be handed to guests via passthrough as
<hostdev> elements
in <a href="formatdomain.html#elementsUSB">the domain XML</a>.
These devices are represented as a hierarchy, where a device on
a bus has a parent of the bus controller device; the root of the
hierarchy is the node named "computer".
</p>
<p>
When represented in XML, a node device uses the
top-level <code>device</code> element, with the following
elements present according to the type of device:
</p>
<dl>
<dt><code>name</code></dt>
<dd>The name for this device. The name will be alphanumeric,
with words separated by underscore. For many devices, the
name is just the bus type and address, as in
"pci_0000_00_02_1" or "usb_1_5_3", but some devices are able
to provide more specific names, such as
"net_eth1_00_27_13_6a_fe_00".
</dd>
<dt><code>parent</code></dt>
<dd>If this element is present, it names the parent device (that
is, a controller to which this node belongs).
</dd>
<dt><code>capability</code></dt>
<dd>This node appears for each capability that libvirt
associates with a node. A mandatory
attribute <code>type</code> lists which category the device
belongs to, and controls which further subelements will be
present to describe the node:
<dl>
<dt><code>system</code></dt>
<dd>Describes the overall host. Sub-elements include:
<dl>
<dt><code>product</code></dt>
<dd>If present, a simple text string giving the product
name of the system.</dd>
<dt><code>hardware</code></dt>
<dd>Describes the hardware of the system, including
sub-elements for <code>vendor</code>, <code>version</code>,
<code>serial</code>, and <code>uuid</code>.</dd>
<dt><code>firmware</code></dt>
<dd>Describes the firmware of the system, including
sub-elements for <code>vendor</code>, <code>version</code>,
and <code>release_date</code>.</dd>
</dl>
</dd>
<dt><code>pci</code></dt>
<dd>Describes a device on the host's PCI bus. Sub-elements
include:
<dl>
<dt><code>domain</code></dt>
<dd>Which domain the device belongs to.</dd>
<dt><code>bus</code></dt>
<dd>Which bus within the domain.</dd>
<dt><code>slot</code></dt>
<dd>Which slot within the bus.</dd>
<dt><code>function</code></dt>
<dd>Which function within the slot.</dd>
<dt><code>product</code></dt>
<dd>Product details from the device ROM, including an
attribute <code>id</code> with the hexadecimal product
id, and an optional text description of that id.</dd>
<dt><code>vendor</code></dt>
<dd>Vendor details from the device ROM, including an
attribute <code>id</code> with the hexadecimal vendor
id, and an optional text name of that vendor.</dd>
</dl>
</dd>
<dt><code>usb_device</code></dt>
<dd>Describes a device on the host's USB bus, based on its
location within the bus. Sub-elements include:
<dl>
<dt><code>bus</code></dt>
<dd>Which bus the device belongs to.</dd>
<dt><code>device</code></dt>
<dd>Which device within the bus.</dd>
<dt><code>product</code></dt>
<dd>Product details from the device ROM, including an
attribute <code>id</code> with the hexadecimal product
id, and an optional text description of that id.</dd>
<dt><code>vendor</code></dt>
<dd>Vendor details from the device ROM, including an
attribute <code>id</code> with the hexadecimal vendor
id, and an optional text name of that vendor.</dd>
</dl>
</dd>
<dt><code>usb</code></dt>
<dd>Describes a USB device, based on its advertised driver
interface. Sub-elements include:
<dl>
<dt><code>number</code></dt>
<dd>The device number.</dd>
<dt><code>number</code></dt>
<dd>The device class.</dd>

</dd>
<dt><code>net</code></dt>
<dd>Describes a device capable for use as a network
interface. Sub-elements include:
<dl>
<dt><code>interface</code></dt>
<dd>The interface name tied to this device.</dd>
<dt><code>address</code></dt>
<dd>If present, the MAC address of the device.</dd>
<dt><code>capability</code></dt>
<dd>A network protocol exposed by the device, where the
attribute <code>type</code> can be "80203" for IEEE
802.3, or "80211" for various flavors of IEEE 802.11.
</dd>
</dl>
</dd>
<dt><code>scsi_host</code></dt>
