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) Daniel -- |: http://berrange.com -o- http://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: http://entangle-photo.org -o- http://live.gnome.org/gtk-vnc :|
