[libvirt] PCI/USB devices documentation
Hello, so far unsuccessfully, I'm trying to attach PCI/USB devices to Guests (via virt-manager, soon via virsh because - whatever :]). Anyway, there is <hostdev managed='yes'> where I'm wondering what 'managed' means, because it's not documented here[1]. Is it a bug or is it documented elsewhere? btw also, 'Node devices XML format'[2] page is empty Thanks, Zdenek References: --- [1] http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsUSB [2] http://libvirt.org/formatnode.html PS: I haven't forgotten about Slackware SSH how-to, but- *sigh* I promise! -- Zdenek Styblik Net/Linux admin OS TurnovFree.net email: stybla@turnovfree.net jabber: stybla@jabber.turnovfree.net

[quote] In managed mode, the configured device will be automatically detached from the host OS drivers when the guest is started, and then re-attached when the guest shuts down. In unmanaged mode, the device must be explicit detached ahead of booting the guest. The guest will refuse to start if the device is still attached to the host OS.

Thanks, Zdenek

Definitely. When people go through things, making a list of "what docs should we be updating?", having a bug with the details help to get it on that list. :)

Done. I've filled bug for all empty pages in documentation I could find and this one in topic. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=649229 I hope it helps ...
