Re: [libvirt] virtio serial device problem

Hi all, When we use the latest version of QEMU to build ovirt, we get this error reported from libvirt.

qemu-system-ppc64: -device virtserialport,bus=virtio-serial0.0,nr=1,chardev=charchannel0,id=channel0,name=com.redhat.rhevm.vdsm: Bus 'virtio-serial0.0' is full qemu-system-ppc64: -device virtserialport,bus=virtio-serial0.0,nr=1,chardev=charchannel0,id=channel0,name=com.redhat.rhevm.vdsm: Bus 'virtio-serial0.0' not found Libvirt helps create QEMU command line and put virtserialport device to bus virtio-serial0.0. For latest version of QEMU, the bus type is changed.

It still doesn't work at all. Does anyone know how to use virtserialport in QEMU command line? If configuration is changed in QEMU, libvirt also needs to change it accordingly. Thanks. :) --Li
