I keep getting an error when I try to attach a device in the libvirt api through python
The python code is:
conn=libvirt.open('qemu:///system') dom = conn.lookupByName("fedoratest") if dom.info()[0]==1: dom.attachDevice('net.xml')
And I keep getting: "libvirtError: XML description not well formed or invalid
The xml is a simple network card that works fine in virsh. It is just: #cat net.xml <interface type='network'> <mac address='52:54:00:00:fe:5c'/> <source network-'default'/>
Your XML is really not well formed. This <source network-'default'/> should be <source network='default'/>
target dev='vnet1'/>
And you miss a < before the word target: target dev='vnet1'/> should be <target dev='vnet1'/>
</interface>
I've tired giving it the full path still no luck. Thanks in advance,
Matthias
