Laine Stump 2013-02-04 21:24:27 UTC Doc Text Feature:

Change the bridge connected to a guest network device without
detaching or disabling the guest or its network device.

Reason:

Sometimes an administrator may need to move a guest's network
connection to a different network without stopping the guest. This
functionality wasn't available in earlier versions of libvirt - in
order to change the connection, the network device would need to be
completely detached from the guest (making the guest believe it had
been unplugged) then re-attached after changing the configuration to
specify the new connection.

Result:

It is now possible (via "virsh update-device") to change a guest's
<interface> definition to specify a different type (switching between
"type='network'" and "type='bridge'"), and change the name of the
bridge used for the given network, without stopping/pausing the guest
or detaching its network device. From the point of view of the guest the network will have remained up during this entire transition; if
the move requires a new IP address, that must be handled by changing
the configuration on the guest, or by requesting that it renew its
dhcp lease.
