libvirt users - Oct 2013 - Is it possible to define serial port speed?

Hi

I would like to know if it's possible to define serial port speed using
libvirt.

I'm trying to connect the guest with the host for communication.
Usually only small messages are transferred, but i might need to
transfer huge files, so i would like to know if i can use SerialPort
interface to do that.

Thanks anyway,
Marco Dinis

Traditional speed settings fairly meaningless for emulated hardware,
as the emulation will transfer data as fast as possible. If you are
connecting the virtual serial port to a host serial port though,
QEMU will pass through settings. ie if the guest OS sets the serial
device speed, QEMU will update the host serial port to match. So there
is nothing to configure from libvirt's POV. The guest OS initiated
changes should just "do the right thing"
