      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      Attaching device with unsupported target ccw addr gets unclear error message. In code, it mainly uses info->alias to check, others are 'null'. But sometimes we may not necessarily use alias.

      Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:

      libvirt-9.5.0-7.el9_3.x86_64
      qemu-kvm-8.1.0-4.el9.x86_64

      100%

      Steps to reproduce

      For disk device:

       

      # virsh attach-disk rhel /var/lib/libvirt/images/test.img vdb --targetbus virtio --address ccw:00.0.0000
      error: Failed to attach disk
      error: unsupported configuration: cannot use CCW address type for device '<null>' using machine type 'pc-q35-rhel9.2.0' 

      For scsi controller:

      # cat controller.xml 
      <controller type='scsi' index='10'>
         <address type='ccw' cssid='0x0' ssid='0x0' devno='0x0000'/>
      </controller> 
      # virsh attach-device rhel controller.xml 
      error: Failed to attach device from controller.xml
      error: unsupported configuration: cannot use CCW address type for device '<null>' using machine type 'pc-q35-rhel9.2.0'
      

      Same with other devices.

       

      Expected results

      Use device name to check, for example:

      cannot use CCW address type for device 'vdb' using machine type 'pc-q35-rhel9.2.0'

      or

      cannot use CCW address type for device 'controller' using machine type 'pc-q35-rhel9.2.0'

      Actual results

      If we don't use alias, the error will use '<null>' which is not clear.
