I haven't looked into the history of the "--address" option for virsh
attach-disk, but 0.7.5 is *very* old, so it's completely possible that
it doesn't support that option. Can you upgrade to something more
modern? (libvirt is now at 1.0.4, and most distros are using at least
0.9.something or 0.10.something)
I was running on Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS. I have now upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS.
"Address" seems to be in this newer version. Thanks for that!
However, now I cannot even add disks at all to the virtual servers.
If you look at the flow bellow, you see that I start a virtual server, removes a disk and then tries to add it again (using 2 methods).
First method (attach-device) just sits there forever and I have to cancel it.
The second method (attach-disk) timeouts after some time.
The log-file just states:
2013-04-09 22:35:57.000+0000: 6203: error : qemuDomainObjBeginJobInternal:789 : Timed out during operation: cannot acquire state change lock
I assume this means that libvirt cannot contact the QEMU monitor? How can I test that the QEMU monitor is still responding? Is there a way to bypass libvirt and send commands to QEMU Monitor manually?
