[libvirt-users] Virsh Attach Volume Fails

Hi,

When trying to attach a created volume to an instance using the virsh utility I
am running into this error :-


[] $ sudo virsh attach-device instance-00000015 disk.xml

error: Failed to attach device from disk.xml

error: internal error unable to execute QEMU command
'__com.redhat_drive_add': Device 'drive-virtio-disk21' could not
be initialized


For experimental purpose I have libvirt 0.10.2 and QEMU 0.12.1. The volume to be
attached is on a remote storage.


Any idea what I might be missing ?


Thanks,

Vilobh
