libvirt users - Sep 2015 - Re: Windows Guest ports enumeration ..

Hi,

I add the device in the .xml conf file using this way :

<channel type='unix'>
      <source mode='bind'
path='//var/lib/libvirt/qemu/omnivision_1.agent'/>
      <target type='virtio' name='omnivision_1.agent'
state='disconnected'/>
      <alias name='channel1'/>
      <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0'
bus='0' port='2'/>
    </channel>


After the guest has been rebooted, I see that the diver  VirtIO-Serial Driver is
now installed .

So far so good ....

Then,  I tried to have a look within the registry but no additional key  here :

HKLM\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\SERIALCOMM


Is it the right way to proceed ?
Or did I miss something ?

Thanks for help.

Regards,

J.P.

Hi,

Within following page :
http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Virtio-serial_API

it's mentioned a link to "GetDevidePath" .
Unfortunately link seems to be  broken.

Is there another way  to get infos on how to enumerate ports ( on Windows guest)
in order  to retrieve a channel device newly  created on the guest by adding it
on the .xml configuration file ?

Thanks.

Regards,
