Description Haim 2012-03-22 12:53:44 UTC

Description of problem:

I would like to propose the following RFE:

live guest XML injection allowing admin to change custom params such as Console (spice\VNC) on the fly. 

This is important so admin won't have to kill the VM. 

probability: 

- This feature is supported on libvirt\qemu 

so, we just need to wrap it up.

we'd need to model this per specific action (like hotplug disk, nic, etc.)
the example above is to "hot change display type"?
please change bug summary accordingly, and open specific bugs on other use cases.

(allowing to pass through xml to libvirt will invalidate logic in the engine)

Closing old bugs. If this issue is still relevant/important in current version, please re-open the bug.
