A Red Hat training course is available for Red Hat Virtualization

9.4. System Devices

System devices are critical for the guest to run and cannot be removed. Each system device attached to a guest also takes up an available PCI slot. The default system devices are:

  • Host bridge
  • ISA bridge and USB bridge (The USB and ISA bridges are the same device)
  • Graphics card (using either the Cirrus or qxl driver)
  • Memory balloon device

For information about how to use PCI Express and conventional PCI devices with Intel Q35-based virtual machines, see Using PCI Express and Conventional PCI Devices with the Q35 Virtual Machine.
