Hi,
I'm trying to get a virtual serial device up and running between my host and virtual machine with a device name on the host. I'm using libvirt 0.8.3 and qemu 0.13.0. The challenge that I'm running into is that I'm able to get a serial device, but I cannot fix it to a pre-defined device name. For example, I'm using the following in my VM's xml file:
<serial type='pty'> <source path='/dev/pts/19' /> <target port='0' /> </serial>
As I said this works, but it doesn't set the host side to /dev/pts/19. Is there any way to do this?
I could reproduce it, trying to find out why.
When using type='type', the source path is an output only attribute. You can't control it yourself, it is autoassigned by the kernel as it sees fit. Regards, Daniel
