Title:
Setup virtual serial connection for Windows VMs FAILS
Status in QEMU:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Hi,
To setup a virtual serial connections between two Windows 2008 R2(64-bit)
guest VMs, I am referring the link
http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/WindowsGuestDrivers/UpdatedGuestDebugging
I started the host VM using the command
# /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -smp 1 -enable-kvm -m 512 -boot c
-chardev stdio,id=mon0 -mon chardev=mon0 -serial tcp::4445,server,nowait -hda
/mnt/sda5/var/lib/libvirt/images/win2008host.img
To start a target VM, the link specifies the below command
/usr/local/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 \--enable-kvm \-m 1024 \-drive
file=win-target.img \-chardev stdio,id=mon0 \-mdev=mon0 \-serial
tcp:127.0.0.1:4445.
I am using the QEMU emulator version 0.15.1 (qemu-kvm-0.15.1). The
command is lil bit changed and also doesn't have -mdev option. I
executed the below command.
# /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -smp 1 -m 512 -boot c
-chardev stdio,id=mon0 -mon chardev=mon0 -serial tcp:127.0.0.1:4455
-hda /var/lib/libvirt/images/win2008target.img
It through the error
inet_connect_opts: connect(ipv4,127.0.0.1,127.0.0.1,4455): Connection refused
chardev: opening backend "socket" failed: Connection refused
qemu: could not open serial device 'tcp:127.0.0.1:4455': Connection refused
Please let me know if any one knows how to fix issue.
