[libvirt] Libvirt Support Virtio-serail

[Pankaj Rawat]

Hi ,

I installed fedora17 on my system, the libvirt version is 0.9.11

I configured guest.xml as specified
<console type='pty'>
      <target type='virtio'/>
</console>
<console type='pty'>
      <target type='virtio'/>
</console>

When I define the guest xml I can see the port assigned to it

Now when I try to access the console via
#virsh console --devname console0 guest
Or
#virsh console --devname console1 guest
My console get stuck , I am not getting any prompt.
Is something I am missing?

Regards
Pankaj Rawat

Hmm, what version of libvirt do you have ? This behaviour
suggest that your version is too old to support multiple
consoles.

Doh, I mean --devname
