Hi,
I have a question about nested virtualization. The scenario is as below:
1. Prepare the nested environment, start L2 guest.
2. On the host, connect the L1 vm console, then on L1 guest, connect the L2
guest console:
(host)# virsh console L1_vm
Connected to domain L1_vm
Escape character is ^] (Ctrl + ])
...
(L1 vm)# virsh console L2_vm
Connected to domain L2_vm
Escape character is ^] (Ctrl + ])
...
(L2 vm)# <=== press " ^] " to exit the console, it return to the **host**
(host)#
Is it expected that "^]" in L2 guest will exit thoroughly to the host, not
the L1 guest?
Yes it is expected since the keystroke goes through L1 first.
You can use the '-e' switch of virsh to set the console escape character
in one of the clients differently:
$ virsh -e '^[' console 1
Connected to domain fedora32
Escape character is ^[ (Ctrl + [)
