I think we can in fact just replace 'nserials' / 'serials' with
'nconsoles' / 'consoles' unconditionally. If a guest has a
traditional serial port, then this wil be duplicated into the
'def->consoles' array too. So soley looking at def->consoles[0]
should be sufficient.
We can set console_type based on targetType
eg I think this should work for both pv & hvm
if (vm->def->nconsoles) {
chr = vm->def->consoles[0];
console_type = (chr->targetType == VIR_DOMAIN_CHR_CONSOLE_TARGET_TYPE_SERIAL ?
LIBXL_CONSOLE_TYPE_SERIAL : LIBXL_CONSOLE_TYPE_PV);
}
Regards,
Daniel
