Hello,
We have established a communication channel between a ubuntu 10.04 host
and a windows xp guest using vm channel.
At the host end we have used a unix socket. Below is the libvirt related
config
===========================================================
<channel type='unix'>
<source mode='bind' path='/tmp/guestfs' />
<target type='virtio' name='org.windows-kvm.port.1'/>
<address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0'/>
</channel>
===========================================================
To test if the channel has been successfully created or not we run the
"vioser_test" at the guest and. At the host end we run "socat
/tmp/guestfs -".
We find that while the guest is able to send commands to the host, it
does not work from the host to the guest end.
Is the source code for vioser_test available for reference. Also is
there any reference documents to write agents like vioser_test utility.
I'm not familiar with this vioser_test utility, is it part of the virtio
driver package for windows? If so the source code is available here:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=virt/kvm/kvm-guest-drivers-windows.git
Amit's virtio-serial test suite is also available for reference:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/VirtioSerial#How_To_Test
I'm not sure how applicable it is for windows though.
Thanks in advance.
