Hi,

I'm trying to use unix-type channel to send/receive datas between host and guest .

Here are the steps I follow :

1) Adding these lines to expose a channel unix type to my guest <channel type='unix'> <source mode='bind' path='/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/omnivision_1.agent'/> <target type='virtio' name='org.qemu.guest_agent.0'/> <alias name='channel0'/> <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='2'/> </channel>

This won't fly. A channel with that name is special. It's guest agent socket that libvirt automatically connects to once domain is starting up. You need to provide a different name and everything should just work. Michal
