something like ... Add the controller <controller type='scsi' index='0' model='virtio-scsi'> <alias name='scsi0'/> </controller> And then the the disk ... <disk type='block' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source dev='/dev/sdg'/> <target dev='sda' bus='scsi'/> <alias name='scsi0-0-0-0'/> </disk>

For anyone living vicariously through my virtualized RHEV experiment: 1. Get a life! 2. The answers are YES and YES. Once the virtio-scsi controller has been added to a guest by editing the XML, SCSI disks can be added through the virt-manager GUI. And RHEV is perfectly happy to use a shared virtio-scsi disk as "Fibre Channel" storage. It seems that there's no documentation on adding virtio-scsi *disks* out there, because adding the controller is the only tricky part (for a very small value of tricky).
