melanie witt c8ad9f4e19 libvirt: set device address tag only if setting disk unit
In Pike, we began setting disk unit values manually for the
'virtio-scsi' controller model in order to allow up to 256 devices [1].
We do this by setting the disk unit of the address tag manually for the
guest config. If we do not set the address tag manually, libvirt would
autogenerate it for us.

A problem occurs when a user has a SCSI disk that is a volume or isn't
using the 'virtio-scsi' controller model because we're not guarding our
manual setting of the address tag in the guest config by the disk unit,
in addition to the SCSI bus. This means that for a SCSI volume, we
generate an address tag like '<address type="drive" controller="0"/>'
for any SCSI volume, so a user with more than one device will get the
following error when they try to boot an instance:

  Failed to start libvirt guest: libvirtError: unsupported
    configuration: Found duplicate drive address for disk with target name
    'sda' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'

This updates the conditionals to only manually set the address tag if
the bus is SCSI _and_ the disk unit has been specified. Otherwise, let
libvirt autogenerate the address tag and take care of avoiding
collisions.

OpenStack Nova

OpenStack Nova provides a cloud computing fabric controller, supporting a wide variety of compute technologies, including: libvirt (KVM, Xen, LXC and more), Hyper-V, VMware, XenServer, OpenStack Ironic and PowerVM.

Use the following resources to learn more.

API

To learn how to use Nova's API, consult the documentation available online at:

For more information on OpenStack APIs, SDKs and CLIs in general, refer to:

Operators

To learn how to deploy and configure OpenStack Nova, consult the documentation available online at:

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:

Developers

For information on how to contribute to Nova, please see the contents of the CONTRIBUTING.rst.

Any new code must follow the development guidelines detailed in the HACKING.rst file, and pass all unit tests.
