Hello,
First of all, happy new year!
I am interested in the hot plugging facilities of libvirt, in particular
in what qemu calls 'hot add' of network interface cards. (And also the
reverse: hot unplugging/removing of NICs.)
I think I am overlooking something, but so far the best I have been able
to find is:
http://libvirt.org/sources/virshcmdref/html/
and it is not entirely clear to me what the relevant virsh commands are.
The most obvious choice seems to be the iface-* commands such as
http://libvirt.org/sources/virshcmdref/html/sect-iface-define.html
but these seem to be about physical rather than virtual network
interfaces, and the documentation `needs to be written' anyway, and from
the copyright notice the manual seems to be somewhat outdated by now.
Can you give me a little help with this? Is such hot plug/add
functionality supported by libvirt in the first place? Is there some
kind of overview document about this? What is the most authoritative
documentation of this functionality? Is there a Java or C API to access
this functionality?
Thank you for any help you can give me,
