These are the messages that I get when trying to attach a virtio disk
to or perform a shutdown of the problem vm guest.
Add hardware
This device could not be attached to the running machine. Would you
like to make the device available after the next guest shutdown?
Requested operation is not valid: cannot do live update a device on
inactive domain
