Hi, I am using the libvirt 1.0.6 with the patch applied: http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=commitdiff;h=371c155 The problem I encountered is, with virsh comand 'nodedev-create /home/kvm/vHBA.xml', the vHBA can be generated as expected on the host, but error msg will show in the virsh shell: libvirt: Node Device Driver error : Node device not found I try to find the reason with gdb, and found that the 'nodedev-create' command will call virNetClientIOEventLoop() function of the remote driver, in this function, code will wait on: repoll: ret = poll(fds, ARRAY_CARDINALITY(fds), timeout); after about 50s, poll() returns, but the replied msg->header.status=VIR_NET_ERROR. I am not familiar with the rpc call in the remote driver, does anybody here can give some clues? BRs, Dennis
