"virsh attach-interface [...] --config" does not work as documented

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • The Parameter --config of virsh attach-interface does not work as expected.

  • The manpage states:

    If --config is specified, affect the next boot of a persistent guest.

    But the although --config is specified the change gets applied immediately

  • virsh help attach-interface tells:

    --config         affect next boot

    But although --config is specified, the interface gets added immediately.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6
