<div>I hope this is not to far off topic.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have a Windows 2003 guest on a CentOS 5.5 KVM host. I need to use the serial port on the win2003 guest for the application it is serving.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have no idea what needs to be done but it looks like the linux host is trying to use the serial port as the priamary console but I don't really understand what that is or where it is configured.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>What I need is for the host to ignore any traffice over the serial port and to pass it to the guest.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>On the host, ls -l /dev | grep ttyS, returns:</div>
<div>crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 4, 64 Jul 6 10:17 ttyS0<br>crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 4, 65 Jul 6 10:17 ttyS1<br>crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 4, 66 Jul 6 10:17 ttyS2<br>crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 4, 67 Jul 6 10:17 ttyS3<br>
</div>
<div>It only has 1 serial port so I don't know why ttyS1-S3 are listed.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>On the guest it says that Com1 is configured and working properly.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>On the Virtual Machine Hardware tab of the guest it lists a Serial 0.</div>
<div>Details:</div>
<div>Serial Device (Priamary Console)</div>
<div>Device Type: pty</div>
<div>Target Port: 0</div>
<div>Source Path: /dev/pts/2</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Any help would be greatly appreaciated. Thanks!!!</div>
