Hi,
What is the current way of getting a xen console on a FreeBSD 10.1 DomU?
I’ve been searching on:
* https://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/Xen (reasonably up to date, but has no
info on console)
* http://wiki.xen.org (completely outdated, “official” documentation points
to installation of FreeBSD 7.2(!))
I found instructions to add a line to /boot/loader.conf
(console=comconsole”)
or a line to /etc/ttys (xc0 /usr/libexec/getty Pc vt100 on
secure)
You shouldn't need to modify /etc/ttys at all unless you are using a
FreeBSD PVH guest or Dom0.
But in either case I am getting an error on the Linux Dom0:
xenconsole: Could not read tty from store: No such file or directory
Is it still possible to get a console from a Linux Dom0? How?
What would be the best place to publish instructions for that?
Which kind of guest are you trying to get the console from?
If it's a HVM guest (I'm only guessing here), you need to add
serial='pty' to your xl configuration file and then follow
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/serialconsole-setup.html.
Thanks, that did the trick.
Now the question remains where to document this properly so that others will
not be mislead by all the other advice out there?
Jeroen.
