Hi,

It looks like , when adding a channel device, that the Guest must be powered off / on to be able to detect the new device . ( simple reboot isn't not enough)

Is there any way to avoid this power_cycle ?

Yes, you can hotplug the device: virsh attach-device --live ... It's supposed to be implemented since the 1.1.1 release. Michal
