[libvirt-users] --persistent/--config confusion
Hi, I'm wondering how to attach a network device properly to a domain. According to the man page without "--config" a device created with "attach-device" will be added to the domain yet with "--config" it will only be added to the config and only be available after a restart of the guest. Is there no way to attach the device immediately *and* also make that change persistent? Regards, Dennis

Try combining both --config and --live on the same command line. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org

I tried --persistent and that seemed to have updated both the running system and the configuration. Regards, Dennis
