[Kimchi-devel] RFC - PCI Hot Plug

Hello everybody! I tried PCI Hot Plug in Kimchi but it didn't work as expected. Once my VM was running I plugged my audio device into my VM successfully, I was able to use it flawlessly. However, if I reboot (or completely turn off/on), the VM will not boot anymore. It tries to exclusively get the device but for some reason (libvirt bug?) that device was not detached from the host. Then, I must to turn off the VM amd remove the PCI using Kimchi to be able to boot it again. Such behavior doesn't happen if I add the PCI when the VM is turned off. Also, virt-manager doesn't look to support hot plug, it throws a libvirt exception (libvirtmod.virDomainAttachDevice) if I try to add a PCI while VM is running. Does anybody have experienced it before, any advise? Thank you -- Jose Ricardo Ziviani ----------------------------- Software Engineer Linux Technology Center - IBM
