Take a look at this page [1] for documentation of the hooks system. There is also an example how to use it to change the XML at the end [2].

Hello Tomas, Thank you for coming back to me. I don't suppose you have any examples or guides you could point me in the direction of please?

Hi, you can try to use VDSM hook to add a dummy serial device to the VM domain XML. Or if you really need a physical device then you can use the hook to add the element to the domain XML. Don't forget to pin the VM to a specific host though. Hope this helps, Tomas On Wed, 16 May 2018 10:17:49 +0100 Joshua Blake wrote: > Hello, > > We have an old Windows XP VM, that requires access to a physical serial > port for our telephone system.
