Hi,
Today I noticed one strange thing. I* *removed the contents of
*usbSharedFolder.xml
*and kept it blank. Then I again tried both ways i.e. calling attachDevice
method using code as well as virsh but again it gave libvir: VirtualBox
Driver error : out of memory but I was expecting some syntactical error. Is
this a bug....??
And if it is a bug can anyone release a patch for this....??

Hi,
I am trying to attach a usb device to my virtualbox node using libvirt. My
node is already running, I stop my node and then I am trying to add this
usb device.
I have a separate xml file defined for usb. It looks like this:
*<device>
<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb'>
<source>
<vendor id='0x4321'/>
<product id='0xfeeb'/>
</source>
</hostdev>
</device> *
*
*
I am trying to attach it using code:
*conn = libvirt.open("vbox:///session")
if conn ==None:
print 'Failed to open connection to the hypervisor'
sys.exit(1)
print 'connected to vbox hypervisor driver'
domainInstance = conn.lookupByName('SampleNode')
filed = open('/root/testFolder/usbSharedFolder.xml', 'r')
config_str = filed.read()
libvirt.virDomain.attachDevice(domainInstance, config_str)*
When it is executed I am getting an error message saying:
*libvir: VirtualBox Driver error : out of memory *
*
*
Even with virsh it is giving the same error. I am using the below command:
*attach-device SampleNode /root/testFolder/usbSharedFolder.xml*
Can anyone tell me what is going wrong. It is really very important.
Please do reply.
Thanks in advance.
