Thanks. I understand qemu supports other scsi adapters however. See
this post from earlier this year.
That post makes reference to the following hbas: auto, buslogic, ibmvscsi. lsilogic,
lsisas1068, lsisas1078, virtio-scsi, vmpvscsi.
From an upstream QEMU perspective, the HBAs that ought to work on
x86_64
guests are virtio-scsi, lsisas1078, and vmpvscsi.
The lsilogic adapter is known to be buggy/incomplete. ibmvscsi is for
POWER, not x86_64.
That said, I'd still only rely on virtio-scsi for production systems.
I am confident there is development effort behind virtio-scsi to fix
bugs and so on. With the other adapters it's more of a best-effort
scenario.
