The path to the pty of a Xen PV console is set only in virDomainOpenConsole. But this is done too late. A call to virDomainGetXMLDesc done before OpenConsole will not have the path to the pty, but a call after OpenConsole will. e.g. of the current issue. Starting a domain with '<console type="pty"/>' Then: virDomainGetXMLDesc(): <devices> <console type='pty'> <target type='xen' port='0'/> </console> </devices> virDomainOpenConsole() virDomainGetXMLDesc(): <devices> <console type='pty' tty='/dev/pts/30'> <source path='/dev/pts/30'/> <target type='xen' port='0'/> </console> </devices> The patch intend to have the TTY path on the first call of GetXMLDesc. This is done by setting up the path at domain start up instead of in OpenConsole. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1170743 Signed-off-by: Anthony PERARD <anthony.perard(a)citrix.com&gt; --- Change in V3: Using aop_console_how from libxl_domain_create_new() Ignore empty string that can return libxl_console_get_tty() Change in V2: Adding bug report link. Reword the last part of the patch description. Cleanup the code. Use VIR_FREE before VIR_STRDUP. Remove the code from OpenConsole as it is now a duplicate.
