With libvirt 0.6.4, you can use the "virsh domxml-from-native" tool to convert from QEMU arguments to XML automatically: http://libvirt.org/drvqemu.html#xmlimport > > about the console I used to start qemu-kvm under SCREEN program. > > is ther another better way to have serial console ? > > for that i don't have any good answer. it seems libvirt ties the qemu > monitor with a pipe to its own process, so you don't have manual > control anymore. > > i'd much prefer if it used a unix socket, so you could open it with > socat or similar tools. If by "serial console" you mean an actual emulated serial port, use the <serial> tag in the XML for this. You can point it to a socket, actual device, TCP server, etc. http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsConsole If you want access to the Qemu monitor console, Libvirt does not provide that directly (by design), but it does use Unix sockets to interact with the monitor, so you could in theory kill Libvirt and talk to Qemu directly through the monitor socket in /var/run/libvirt/qemu. -jim -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
