The qcow2 disk is at scsi0 slot, hence I think that is the correct node. Please let me know if otherwise.

Thanks

I'm not 100% sure, but maybe is it the wrong node ? (on machine model 10, with blockdev enable, we use a throttle node at top node ("drive- scsi0"), maybe it need to be done on the "format" node where qcow2 is available

for example:

 -blockdev '{"driver":"throttle","file":{"cache":{"direct":true,"no-
flush":false},"driver":"qcow2","file":{"aio":"io_uring","cache":{"direc
t":true,"no-flush":false},"detect-
zeroes":"unmap","discard":"unmap","driver":"file","filename":"/var/lib/
vz/images/8006/vm-8006-disk-0.qcow2","node-
name":"edd19f6c1b3a6d5a6248c3376a91a16","read-only":false},"node-
name":"fdd19f6c1b3a6d5a6248c3376a91a16","read-only":false},"node-
name":"drive-virtio0","throttle-group":"throttle-drive-virtio0"}'

you should use the node "fdd19f6c1b3a6d5a6248c3376a91a16"
