libvirt users - Jun 2016 - Adding a channel device within an Openstack Fedora Instance ..

Hi,

I'm trying to add a channel on a Openstack instance via this command :

# virsh attach-device instance-00000005 test.xml

   that returns this error


error: Failed to attach device from test.xml
error: internal error: no virtio-serial controllers are available
#

  # cat test.xml :

<channel type='unix'>
      <source mode='bind'
path='//var/lib/libvirt/qemu/instance-00000005.agent'/>
      <target type='virtio'
name='instance-00000005.agent'/>
</channel>


#virsh dumpxml instance-00000005

How may I add this controller ( before adding the channel device) ?

Thanks for help.
