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>
Aliases are output-only; they are ignored on input. Libvirt demands total control over the alias field, because it interacts with qemu via the alias that libvirt chooses.
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?
No plans to support user-specified aliases on input. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
