Hi Daniel,

Thanks for your suggestion. I made some changes in config and it works fine. One more thing I wanted to ask is I want to add an attribute to xml. But I am not able to figure out how exactly libvirt is defining xml. I understand that config can only add the attributes that are defined in the xml. But how do I add a new attribute?

Thanks.

The get_guest_config() function returns an instance of the
nova.virt.libvirt.config.LibvirtConfigGuest object. That class
has defined attributes for setting various parts of the XML
config. You can't simply set arbitrary attributes and expect
it to work - you'll need to define how it is exposed in the
LibvirtConfigGuest object (or one of the related classes
that it uses) and then impl the code to generate the XML dom
from that attribute.
