Hi,

On a KVM host installed with following packages versions  :

[root@rhel6-roadster test_channels_OK]# rpm -qa | grep libvirt

libvirt-devel-0.10.2-29.el6.x86_64

libvirt-0.10.2-29.el6.x86_64

libvirt-client-0.10.2-29.el6.x86_64

libvirt-java-0.4.9-1.el6.noarch

libvirt-java-devel-0.4.9-1.el6.noarch

libvirt-python-0.10.2-29.el6.x86_64

[root@rhel6-roadster test_channels_OK]# rpm -qa | grep qemu

qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.415.el6.x86_64

gpxe-roms-qemu-0.9.7-6.10.el6.noarch

qemu-img-0.12.1.2-2.415.el6.x86_64

[root@rhel6-roadster test_channels_OK]# virsh --version

0.10.2

[root@rhel6-roadster test_channels_OK]#

When trying to add a channel device via virsh attach-device , I got following errors :

<channel type='unix'>

      <source mode='bind' path='//var/lib/libvirt/qemu/omnivision_123456.agent'/>

      <target type='virtio' name='omnivision_123456.agent' state='disconnected'/>

<alias name='channel_OmniVision'/>

      <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='30'/>

</channel>

Guest is off :

[root@rhel6-roadster test_channels_OK]# virsh attach-device Linux_2  add_channel_device.xml

error: Failed to attach device from add_channel_device.xml

error: Requested operation is not valid: cannot do live update a device on inactive domain

[root@rhel6-roadster test_channels_OK]#

Guest is running :

[root@rhel6-roadster test_channels_OK]# virsh attach-device Linux_2  add_channel_device.xml
error: Failed to update device from add_channel_device.xml

error: XML error: unknown device type

[root@rhel6-roadster test_channels_OK]

Did I miss something ?

Thanks for help.
