20.16.17. Host Physical Machine Interface
A character device presents itself to the host physical machine as one of the following types:
Parameter | Description | XML snippet |
---|---|---|
Domain logfile | Disables all input on the character device, and sends output into the virtual machine's logfile |
|
Device logfile | A file is opened and all data sent to the character device is written to the file. |
|
Virtual console | Connects the character device to the graphical framebuffer in a virtual console. This is typically accessed via a special hotkey sequence such as "ctrl+alt+3" |
|
Null device | Connects the character device to the void. No data is ever provided to the input. All data written is discarded. |
|
Pseudo TTY | A Pseudo TTY is allocated using /dev/ptmx . A suitable client such as virsh console can connect to interact with the serial port locally. |
|
NB Special case | NB special case if <console type='pty'> , then the TTY path is also duplicated as an attribute tty='/dev/pts/3' on the top level <console> tag. This provides compat with existing syntax for <console> tags. | |
Host physical machine device proxy | The character device is passed through to the underlying physical character device. The device types must match, eg the emulated serial port should only be connected to a host physical machine serial port - do not connect a serial port to a parallel port. |
|
Named pipe | The character device writes output to a named pipe. See pipe(7) man page for more info. |
|
TCP client/server | The character device acts as a TCP client connecting to a remote server. |
Or as a TCP server waiting for a client connection.
Alternatively you can use telnet instead of raw TCP. In addition, you can also use telnets (secure telnet) and tls.
|
UDP network console | The character device acts as a UDP netconsole service, sending and receiving packets. This is a lossy service. |
|
UNIX domain socket client/server | The character device acts as a UNIX domain socket server, accepting connections from local clients. |
