[libvirt-users] When adding a channel device, we need a shutdown
Hi, It looks like , when adding a channel device, that the Guest must be powered off / on to be able to detect the new device . ( simple reboot isn't not enough) Is there any way to avoid this power_cycle ? Thx. J.P.

Yes, you can hotplug the device: virsh attach-device --live ... It's supposed to be implemented since the 1.1.1 release. Michal
Hi, "Yes, you can hotplug the device: virsh attach-device --live ... It's supposed to be implemented since the 1.1.1 release." Does it mean that a virsh attach-device --config (AFAIK , taken in account at next guest reboot) should work by using release to 1.1.1 ? Thx.

Yes. Although I think there were some fixes after that. So you should use the latest version possible anyway. Michal
