I have followed the setup on=20
http://www.ovirt.org/documentation/admin-guide/serial-console-setup/
I am able to ssh to the hosted engine and select a VM.
A VM with console enabled and permissions set gives a blank screen (=20
freezes ).
Many reasons can lead to this, depending on the guest os.
Have you modified all needed files into the guest OS?
This is what I did for my vms (tty0 is to get the boot sequence into=20
the spice/vnc console insted of a black screen)
CentOS 5:
* grub.conf
for i in $(cat /tmp/update_grub); do ssh root@$i 'sed -e=20
"s/^\\t\(kernel\).*$/&*console\=3Dtty0 console\=3DttyS0*/g" -i=20
/etc/grub.conf'; done
* inittab
for i in $(cat /tmp/liste) ; do echo $i; ssh root@$i "sed -i \"/tty6/a=20
*S0:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty ttyS0*\" /etc/inittab"; done
* securetty
for i in $(cat /tmp/liste) ; do echo $i; ssh root@$i "sed -i \"/tty11/a=20
*ttyS0*\" /etc/securetty"; done
CentOS 6:
* grub.conf
for i in $(cat /tmp/update_grub); do ssh root@$i 'sed -e=20
"s/^\\t\(kernel\).*$/&*console\=3Dtty0 console\=3DttyS0*/g" -i=20
/etc/grub.conf'; done
* securetty
for i in $(cat /tmp/liste) ; do echo $i; ssh root@$i "sed -i \"/tty11/a=20
*ttyS0*\" /etc/securetty"; done
CentOS 7 : securetty file already includes ttyS0 by default
* grub2.cfg
for i in $(cat /tmp/update_grub2);do echo -e "$i:\n"; ssh root@$i 'sed=20
-e "s/^\\t\(linux16\).*$/&*console\=3Dtty0 console\=3DttyS0*/g" -i=20
/boot/grub2/grub.cfg'; done
for i in $(cat /tmp/update_grub2);do echo -e "$i:\n"; ssh root@$i=20
'grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg'; done
As a last alternative, grubby does the staff on every OS and grub=20
versions, but doesn't modify the securetty file.
* grubby
for i in $(cat /tmp/update_grub2);do echo -e "$i:\n"; ssh root@$i=20
"grubby --update-kernel=3DALL --args=3D\"console=3Dtty0 console=3DttyS0\"=
"; done
So I checked serial-getty@.service
So you run el7 :)
Am I right this service should run on a host?
Sure, but not
enough
When I check status, I get this:
... systemd[1]: *Dependency failed for Serial Getty on hvc0.*
.. systemd[1]: *Job serial-getty(a)hvc0.service/start failed with result=20
'dependency'.*
*
*
What needs to be done? When I restart the service it takes a long tine=20
and looks like a timeout is triggered.
you can check if ttyS0 is opened with stty < /dev/ttyS0
If true, the issue might come from a right permission.
Did you add the wanted user (doesn't work with group) per vm with the=20
minimum UserVmManager role?
if the user is SuperUser, it still can't connect to the console due to a=20
bug.
Looking forward to use the serial console feature.
it works very well and it is very convinient:)
Just a last tip : the default escape character to escape from ssh is "~."
Good luck!
