Hi, I am using virsh 0.9.8 My qemu is 1.0 version. I would like to use Ivshmem device from virsh command line. It is possible to use ivshmem device from qemu command line.But its not working if I am giving -device ivshmem device in xml config file. Does virsh support ivshmem device.?? -- Mrugani Kurtadikar Btech IT College of Engineering, Pune. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML

Hi, I am trying to create a VM with the IVSHMEM feature, and I specify the device using qemu command line argument in my XML by using the pass through tag as follows: <qemu:commandline> <qemu:arg value='-device ivshmem,size=2048M,shm=fd:/mnt/huge/map_1:0x0:0x40000000:/dev/zero:0x0:0x3fffc000:/var/run/.ivshmem_metadata_config_2:0x0:0x4000'/>

About Redhat's QA, I do not care. About Qemu's QA, I do care ;) I
