We have a chassis with a peripheral PCI device installed. We have a hypervisor running on the chassis where we have deployed a VM which can use the PCI device once it is attached.

When the PCI device is powered on or off we need to do a hotplug in/out using virsh commands. Even though the virsh commands for hotplug is executed successfully, the VM sees the PCI inside the VM for one or 2 secs. What do you think is the issue?
