RE: [Libvir] how to setup usb/serial ports with libvirt & kvm (Fedora 7)
mouse" depending on the input device you've selected. A
hack
I've found useful for modifying the kvm command-line
arguments is to change the <emulator> tag to point to a shell
script that invokes kvm as you'd like. For example,
/etc/libvirt/kvm-wrapper containing:
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/bin/qemu-kvm "$@" -usbdevice host:1234:5678
might do the trick.
Thanks Jim,
A wrapper containing
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/bin/qemu-kvm "$@" -serial /dev/ttyUSB0
Did the trick nicely for me mapping the usb/serial converter plugged into
the host machine to /dev/ttyS0 on the virtual guest machine.
I've now got the virtual guest (RH9) transferred & logging data from the
serial port.
