libvirt users - Jul 2015 - adding devices and chardev in .xml configuration file ...

Hi,

As I want to start qemu by adding following parameters :


-device virtio-serial
-chardev socket,path=/tmp/foo,server,nowait,id=test
-device virtserialport,chardev=test,name=port.0

Is it possible to add them in the .xml configuration file of the guest , so they
will be automatically added when the guest is started ?

If yes , any doc describing the syntax ?

Thx.

Regards,


J.P. Ribeauville

If you don't actually care that much about the id and name, then yes:

  <channel type='unix'>
    <source type='bind' path='/tmp/foo'/>
    <target type='virtio' port='0'/>
  </channel>

If you do, then it's possible too, but unsupported.
