Please can anyone enlighten me as to why linux qemu-kvm always
creates the console on my terminal, when I am trying to direct
all of its input and output to a pipe ?
I have created :
$ mkfifo /tmp/el6x32{.in,.out,.monitor}
and use the command:
$ /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -M rhel6.4.0 -cpu n270 -smp 1 \
-hda /home/rpmbuild/OEL6/img/OEL6_32.img \
-kernel /home/rpmbuild/OEL6/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.39-400.215.14.el6uek.i686 \
-initrd /home/rpmbuild/OEL6/boot/initramfs
2.6.39-400.215.14.el6uek.i686.img \
-append 'root=/dev/sda rw selinux=0 enforcing=0 console=0' \
-m 2048 -k en-gb -nographic -vga none -vnc none -enable-kvm \
-chardev pipe,id=0,path=/tmp/el6x32 -monitor pipe:/tmp/el6x32.monitor
But this ends up with the kernel's console on qemu-kvm's STDIO .
I actually want the console to be redirected to take input from
/tmp/el6x32.in and direct output to /tmp/el6x32.out -
I thought that was what the above '-chardev pipe,id=0,path=/tmp/el6x32'
should do if kernel boot params 'console=0' is also supplied ?
Why isn't this happening for me ? Anyone got a guest to read console input
from a pipe and direct console output to a pipe ? If so, how?
Thanks in advance for any replies, Jason.
