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.

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 :) - Cole
