Following message is detailed!!! Guest: window 7 profession Linux: Ubuntu 1604 Qemu:1 v2.11.0-rc0 Libvirt: 3.9 method of booting: virsh start myGuest1 method of plug HDMI: virsh qemu-monitor-command myGuest1 --hmp 'device_add driver=vfio-pci,host=01:00.0,xvga=on,multifunction=yes' phenomenon: after plugging, my Guest is failed to check with "ping", for a while, my display is light and load windows. expect: my guest is running when i plug HDMI, it seem that hot add a device.

Hi, this command hot-plugs the whole GPU card, and I'm not surprised that it doesn't work. Passing the whole GPU to guest is a little bit tricky and requires several steps. Main reason why it's not automated yet is that each HW combination is specific and requires different tuning. I would recommend you to read this wiki page [1]. [1] <https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PCI_passthrough_via_OVMF> I was able to configure it on my computer, basically you need to make sure that you have IOMMU available and enabled, that your GPU card is in it's own isolated IOMMU group, configure kernel to assign vfio-pci driver while booting and properly configure guest XML in libvirt. Everything is described and explained on that wiki page. Pavel
