Hello,
AFAIK, aliases cannot be set for Graphics devices. I tried this very simple experiment with libvirt 1.2.4 (from virt-preview on F20)
relevant part of the input xml:
<graphics type='spice' port='-1' autoport='yes' listen='127.0.0.1'> <listen type='address' address='127.0.0.1'/> <alias name='display.0'/> </graphics> <graphics type='vnc' port='-1' autoport='yes' listen='127.0.0.1'> <listen type='address' address='127.0.0.1'/> <alias name='display.1'/> </graphics>
# virsh -c qemu:///system virsh # create testdom_spice_vnc_aliases.xml # see attachment Domain fedora19 created from testdom_spice_vnc_aliases.xml
virsh # dumpxml fedora19 # only relevant part, see attachment for full output [...] <graphics type='spice' port='5900' autoport='yes' listen='127.0.0.1'> <listen type='address' address='127.0.0.1'/> </graphics> <graphics type='vnc' port='5901' autoport='yes' listen='127.0.0.1'> <listen type='address' address='127.0.0.1'/> </graphics> [...]
So, are really aliases not allowed for the Graphics Devices or am I doing something wrong? If aliases aren't allowed, any plans to support them?
Note that in addition to what Eric said, the <graphics> tags don't represent actual guest devices, so the concept of device aliases doesn't really apply here.
