[All 305-300 Questions]

Which of the following KVM parameters is identical to the KVM parameter -hdb file.img?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

In QEMU/KVM, the legacy parameter -hdb file.img attaches a disk image as the primary IDE slave device. According to QEMU documentation, this corresponds to an IDE device with index 1, media type disk, and interface IDE.

The modern equivalent using the -drive syntax is:

-drive file=file.img,index=1,media=disk,if=ide

Option D matches this mapping precisely. The other options use invalid or unsupported parameter combinations and do not correctly represent the IDE device mapping.

Therefore, the correct answer is D.
