I have 8 disks in my virtual bastion server whose PCI address is also shared here along with the host ID which controls them. However lspci lists three drive controllers. Does it mean that the other two are not used at all and only SCSI Controller: LSI Logic is used here. Why host0 and other hosts are there if only host2 is used.

      I have 8 disks in my virtual bastion server whose PCI address is also shared here along with the host ID which controls them. However lspci lists three drive controllers. Does it mean that the other two are not used at all and only SCSI Controller: LSI Logic is used here. Why host0 and other hosts are there if only host2 is used.
