Hi all,
A simple question, I hope ;)
Is it possible to enable the qemu monitor in libvirt's xml?
It need the monitor, to dynamically add a usb device to a windows vm.

Nope, the monitor is redirected
so that libvirt can send commands
to it directly.
However, support for usb device attach/detach was just added to
libvirt, so you won't need to directly talk to the monitor to do
this. You should be able to do something like the following for
a usb disk:
cat << __eof__ > disk.xml
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
<source file='/path/to/diskfile'/>
<target bus='usb'/>
</disk>
__eof__
virsh attach-device some-active-domain disk.xml
I haven't tested this so no guarantees, and you'll need current
upstream libvirt. Hopefully this will be in virt-manager soon
though so it will be nice and easy :)
