Examples

Attaching a File-Based Storage Volume

The command requires at minimum the file-based storage volume path, as shown by the virsh vol-list command, and the device name under which the disk is exposed to guest, typically "vdX", where X is "a", "b", etc.

virsh attach-disk testvm-01 /main-storage-pool/test-volume vdb

virsh will detect malformed device names and will error out if that is the case.
