Package: libvirt-daemon
Severity: important
Tags: trixie ppc64el
Version Info:
Host/Guest OS: Debian Trixie/sid (powerpc64le)
Kernel: 6.12.27-powerpc64le-64k
QEMU: 10.0.0
Libvirt: 11.3.0
Issue:
Live-attaching or detaching a device with virsh on a Debian Trixie
(ppc64le) guest does not take effect immediately. While the host command
succeeds, the guest OS only recognizes the change after a full reboot.
This defeats the purpose of the hotplug feature.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Start a guest with Debian-Trixie OS same as Host
2) Attach an interface to guest using below virsh attach-device command
'virsh attach-interface --live vm bridge --source virbr0'
3) The command executes successfully and give output as "Interface
attached successfully"
4) But the interface is not immediately attached to guest. When the
guest is rebooted , then the
interface is seen on the guest.
5) Same is happening with virsh detach-interface command. A guest reboot
is required to remove
the interface from guest
Thanks Trupti
