Hi,
On Fedora 18 (libvirt 0.10.2.6-1) I'm trying to add a new serial device
to a KVM VM with:
virsh attach-device foobar /tmp/serial.xml
and I keep getting:
error: Failed to attach device from /tmp/serial.xml
error: XML error: unknown device type
with serial.xml:
<serial type='file'>
<source path='/tmp/serialfile'/>
<target port='1'/>
</serial>
Though I tried it w/o the <target> tag, with and without the --config
flag, and with and without the guest running. Assuming it's similar, I
tried and was successful in adding this device via virt-manager, though
it complains if the VM is running (which is fine).
What am I doing wrong with the virsh attach-device command or XML?
There is no support for hotplug of any character device (that
covers serial, parallel, console, channnel elements in the XML)
