Re: Cannot access KVM using virsh console after KVM rebooted or shut off
Hi,
Try to enable vnc on your vm, then try to connect using that protocol and see what
happens.
You can use chicken of the vnc os x client to connect and be sure your host machine have
the right ports open for incoming vnc connections (start at 5900).
Best regards,

Dear all,
I used ssh with -X option to connect to an Ubuntu remote server where I applied virsh
(libvirt) to manage my KVM virtual machines, and my local machine is MacOS. Then,
I used virt-install to install a Tiny Core Linux VM, and I got a pop-up Virt Viewer
window
(via XQuartz) which is the console for my Tiny Core VM. However, if I rebooted my VM,
then I checked the VM state by virsh list --all which was running. Then, I tried
`virsh console my_vm_domain` but this command got stuck on:
> Connected to domain my_vm_domain
> Escape character is ^]
The `virsh console` command hung without any response. This issue also happened when
I used virsh console after I shut down and later started the VM. Even the VM was already
started, I cannot return to the VM console by `virsh console`.
I can get the VM console in Virt Viewer at the first boot (using virt-install).
But, if I shutdown the VM once, I can never access the VM console by virsh console even
the VM state is running. Any idea about how to use virsh console?
Thanks,
Yifei
