Hi,

i wanted to use cpu hotplug feature.
on debian mailinglist, i found that it should be possible in >= qemu-kvm-1.2
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=680551)

but if i try, the guest system halts immediatly :(

root@prox1:~# pveversion -vpve-manager: 2.2-31 (pve-manager/2.2/e94e95e9)

ii qemu-server 2.0-69 Qemu Server Tools

hope someone has a clue.

AFAIK, it's doesn't work with qemu-kvm 1.2. (debian just disable hotplug to avoid crash)

Maybe for 1.3 release, I know that qemu dev are currently working on it.

thanks for your answer. do you know if there is any schedule visible for next qemu release with date?

thanks,
patrick
