[Users] serial (COM) port

[Nerijus Baliunas]

Thanks, I tried creating /usr/libexec/vdsm/hooks/before_vm_start/60_serial like this:

#!/usr/bin/python

import os
import sys
import hooking
import traceback

domxml = hooking.read_domxml()
devices = domxml.getElementsByTagName('devices')[0]

serial = domxml.createElement('serial')
serial.setAttribute('type', 'dev')
devices.appendChild(serial)

source = domxml.createElement('source')
source.setAttribute('path', '/dev/ttyS0')
serial.appendChild(source)
target = domxml.createElement('target')
target.setAttribute('port', '1')
serial.appendChild(target)

hooking.write_domxml(domxml)

But VM does not start then. I tried to create the script similar to
http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualization/3.0/html/Administration_Guide/ch16s03.html
What did I do wrong?

Thanks,
Nerijus
