similar to: Re: Windows Guest ports enumeration ..

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.

Hi, I'm trying to use unix-type channel to send/receive datas between host and guest . Here are the steps I follow : 1) Adding these lines to expose a channel unix type to my guest <channel type='unix'> <source mode='bind' path='/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/omnivision_1.agent'/> <target type='virtio'

Hi, I think that issue is due to the fact that my Guest is a transient domain. When shutting down it or migrating to another host , then virsh list --all doesn't show this Guest anymore. How may I make this Guest a persistent one ? ( i.e. this Guest has been created via RHEV-M GUI) Thx for hlep. Regards, J.P. -----Message d'origine----- De : libvirt-users-bounces@redhat.com

Hi, I found an answer : Use virConnectOpenAuth() instead of virConnectOpenReadOnly().

Hi, My piece of code ( C langage) uses cgroups to retrieve counters related to cpu and memory usage related to KVM guests hosted by the host where this code runs.
