Is there any XML > syntax error here? Or libvirt doesn't support <qemu:commandline> tag? If XML changes disappear after virsh edit, then it is a case of you using XML that wasn't recognized by libvirt. > > <qemu:commandline> > <qemu:arg value='-set'/> > <qemu:arg value='device.drive-virtio-disk0.x-data-plane=on'/> > </qemu:commandline> Did you also remember to declare the namespace? Per http://libvirt.org/drvqemu.html#qemucommand it is essential to have something like: <domain type='qemu' xmlns:qemu='http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/qemu/1.0 '> before any other <qemu:...> will be recognized. (The namespace does not have to be named 'qemu:', but it makes it easier to stick to the naming used by the examples) -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
