Greetings, I have a vm to which I can access using virsh console vm1/ I'd like in addition to be able to dump the serial of the vm in to a file on the host. I've found this https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/6/html/virtualization_administration_guide/sub-section-libvirt-dom-xml-devices-host-interface but it seems that the first second example which might be suited to what I need doesn't work as I get an empty file: here are my serial config for the vm: <serial type='pty'> <source path='/dev/pts/2'/> <target type='isa-serial' port='0'> <model name='isa-serial'/> </target> <alias name='serial0'/> </serial> <serial type='file'> <source path='/var/log/router-serial.log'/> <target type='isa-serial' port='0'> <model name='isa-serial'/> </target> <alias name='serial1'/> </serial> <console type='pty' tty='/dev/pts/2'> <source path='/dev/pts/2'/> <target type='serial' port='0'/> <alias name='serial0'/> </console> what might be wrong in the above? Dagg.
