Thread: KVM Virsh: Redirect CentOS / Redhat Console To A Serial Port

Hi,

Just wen through the tutorial posted on this site about redirecting FreeBSD guest console redirection. How can I redirect CentOS guest console with virsh console centos command? Right now it does not show anything.

TIA

It is same as regular server. Add ttyS0

Code:

echo “ttyS0″ >> /etc/securetty

Than add console=ttyS0 to kernel line in /etc/grub.conf

Code:

console=ttyS0

Add getty or minigetty or agetty in /etc/inittab

Code:

S0:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty ttyS0 115200

Reload changes

Code:

init q

From host try

Code:

virsh console kvm-id

Thanks rocky!
