thx, So dumb question at this point. I'm in the process of moving
from
virt-manager to ovirt. virsh has an edit domain function, or I can
edit the xml by hand. I'm able to locate the xml on the host, but
obviously if I edit it by hand it will be replaced by vdsm. I'm having
a hell of a time trying to find the xml on the engine, so that I can
try modifying the xml to add a serial console. Based on that code
that's all that's really going on with that patch. So I'd think I can
wing it by modifying the db or xml directly. Just not sure where to
go to do so. I'm guessing I could go into vm_device and replace
device='virtio-serial' with 'serial' but that seems to easy. Any
pointers you've got on how the xml is stored or produced would be
great.
It's a bit more complicated than that….there's no XML stored in the backend.
You'd be better off applying the patch over and compile yourself:)
The supported way of how to amend the libvirt XML is via VDSM hooks. You need to intercept
the created XML and add whatever is needed, see http://www.ovirt.org/VDSM-Hooks, some of
the examples can be used as a base for what you're trying to do...
