Abstract:
A method and system for hotplug removing a device in a virtual machine system. A computer system hosts a virtual machine that runs a guest. A hotplug manager in the computer system sends a request to the guest for hotplug removal of a device associated with the guest. The hotplug manager detects an indication of reboot of the guest, and completes the hotplug removal in response to detection of the reboot.
