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.

J.P.

Yes, you can hotplug the device: virsh attach-device --live ...
It's supposed to be implemented since the 1.1.1 release.
