Hello, I was trying to get some guest os hardware working and ultimately had to use the qemu-cmdline vdsm hook to set the pci bus id and address for a given vm device. I noticed that ovirt had a vmdevices tab in the Admin UI with this information in it, but it could not be edited. After looking through things I found this: https://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/virt/expose-vm-dev... Apparently ovirt had at one point planned on allowing the administrator to change individual vm device properties, and some of this support such as the property persistence in the ovirt database, was already implemented. The only thing that seems to be missing is marking the fields in the Admin UI as editable, and the hook to update the database from those fields. Does anyone know if there are any plans on actually finishing this feature and getting it into a ovirt release? Or if not, why? The linked page is outdated, and claims the original target was ovirt 3.6. -Patrick Hibbs

I never needed to this but I could see host devices tab on web console for a vm in oVirt 4.5.0. Clicking on Add Device button will bring up a window to select host and some devices from the host to attach to the vm. Is this what you are looking for? -HS Tan

No, that's for PCI passthrough. The tab I'm referring to is the one next to it in the UI labeled "VM Devices." Which (should?) allow editing the virtual devices in the guest. Currently, it only allows us to view the settings for vm devices, and it has a button for editing VGPU properties (but not all of them) only. -Patrick Hibbs On Wed, 2022-09-28 at 02:13 +0000, Hean-Seng Tan wrote:
