Dear Alex / List ,
Thanks for the response.
The problem is regarding detaching from the guest not host.
I see, if you attach a PCI device into guest with 'managed'
mode(managed='yes') then the device is automatically detached from guest
and returned to host after guest exiting, for example.

Notes, need to wait for local network recovery again then check network
connectivity.
If your network still is disconnect, it may be a bug IMHO, please show
your libvirt
and qemu-kvm version, or my example is not what you want, please let me
know.
Thanks,
Alex
In our case since ixgbevf driver is NOT present in the host hence the
virtual
interfaces never really attach themselves to the host.

Dear List ,
We are using intel 82599EB based SRIOV capable 10GbE cards
on the host machine.The VFs are being assigned to the guest
in pass through mode and are providing the network connectivity
as expected.
However when we shutdown the guest the connectivity does not
comes back via the VFs on the guest in next boot unless
the VFs are detached from the *guest* *before* initiating a
shutdown of the guests.
Dear Rajesh,

(
the detach is explicitly done via virsh command
/usr/local/libvirt/bin/virsh detach-device guest01 ~/nic.xml
nic.xml contained
<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'>
<source>
<address domain='0x0000' bus='0x04' slot='0x10' function='0x0'/>
</source>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03'
function='0x0'/>
</hostdev>
)
The question is anyone else facing similar problem and
if so what solution was used?
Secondly , is there anyway to automate the detaching of the
VFs from the guest when the guest is put in the shutdown
sequence ? (or for that matter destroyed).
| When *|managed|* is *"yes"* for a PCI device, it is automatically
detached from the host before being passed on to the guest, and
automatically *reattached* to the host after the *guest exits* such as
shutdown a guest.
