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. Thanks in advance. sl
