Dear all,
I use virsh command to start a container and connect to it.
When I use virsh -c lxc:/// console mycontainer, I only have one
console. I wonder how to open multiple terminal windows for the
same container.
There are two possible approaches. If you are running a full OS distro
inside the container and want to have mingetty login prompts on the
console devices, then you should simply add multiple <console> elements
to the guest XML. You can then use the --devname parameter to the
'virsh console' command to say which console you want to connect to.
If you just want to get a direct bash shell though, you can simply
join the namespace directly, as many times as you like with
# virsh lxc-enter-namespace mycontainer /bin/sh
