It seems that your qemu does not support monitor command 'drive_add'. What's version of your qemu?
Thank you. Here is my version
[cloudadmin@test2 ~]$ /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -version QEMU PC emulator version 0.12.1 (qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2), Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard I finally think it is a permission issue. If I run commands as root and get kvm run by the default qemu user, both attach-disk and detach-disk works like your case. However, if I set to run as another user, such as cloudamin, attach-disk works but detach-disk does not. My libvirtd.conf has unix_sock_group = "cloudadmin" unix_sock_rw_perms = "0770" auth_unix_ro = "none" auth_unix_rw = "none" log_level = 3 log_outputs="3:file:/var/log/libvirt/libvirtd.log" and qemu.conf has user = "cloudadmin" group = "cloudadmin" dynamic_ownership = 0 All images are owned by the cloudadmin:cloudadmin. Is there a problem with this setup? Thank you very much. Shi

When 'drive_add' failes, we do not call qemuMonitorAddDevice(). But it is called.

What's the reply of command 'device_add'? Can you provide it. I think it should fail.
Thanks. Wen Congyang
Than you very much.

Thank you very much. It is exactly the same output as mine,
particularly
<driver name='file' type='qcow2'/> I thought it has to be name='qemu' to detach properly but since you didn't have a problem, I am very lost on why mine didn't work.
My libvirtd.log shows (with debugging turned on) 14:43:18.965: debug : qemuMonitorCommandWithHandler:235 : Receive command reply ret=0 errno=0 33 bytes 'Device 'virtio-disk1' not found^M ' 14:43:18.965: debug : virEventDispatchTimeouts:405 : Dispatch 3 14:43:18.965: debug : virEventDispatchHandles:450 : Dispatch 8 14:43:18.965: error : qemuMonitorTextDelDevice:2314 : operation failed: detaching virtio-disk1 device failed: Device 'virtio-disk1' not found^M
Do you know what the "device not found" error means?
It seems attaching virtio-disk1 failed. Can you provide the log when you attach virtio-disk1?
Thanks. Wen Congyang
Thanks.
