Re: [libvirt-users] host to VM serial device configuration

Hey John, If I understand correctly, you are trying to get access to the character device after you've created the domain. The exact device is auto-assigned when the VM is created, but you can get the correct device from the domain XML after the domain is running. I use 'type=pty' in my domain definition XML. I then extract the device that was assigned to the domain using the following bit of python: import xml.etree.cElementTree as etree xml = etree.fromstring(myDomainObject.XMLDesc(0)) tty = xml.find('devices').find('console').attrib['tty'] Hope this helps! --Igor
