Description Ľuboš Kardoš 2013-03-06 09:26:02 UTC 
Description of problem:
I created virtual machine in virt manager and I added hardware of type serial. I set up device type: "TCP net console (tcp)" and I selected mode: "Client mode (connect)" but in /etc/libvirt/qemu/machine.xml I see:    

<console type='tcp'>
   <source mode='bind' host='127.0.0.1' service='4555'/>


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-manager-0.9.0-18.el6.x86_64 (RHEL-6.4)

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create virtual machine in virt manager before finish click on "Customize configuration before install".
2. Click on "add hardware".
3. Select "serial".
4. Select device type: "TCP net console (tcp)"
5. Select mode: "Client mode. (connect)"
6. Click "Finish"
7. Click "Begin Installation"
  
Actual results:
Incorrect configuration in /etc/libvirt/qemu/machine.xml:

<console type='tcp'>
   <source mode='bind' host='127.0.0.1' service='4555'/>

Comment 4 tingting zheng 2014-05-06 10:47:50 UTC 
I can reproduce this bug with:
virt-manager-0.9.0-19.el6.x86_64
When follow the below steps to add serial with tcp mode connect,the xml of guest shows as:
    <serial type='tcp'>
      <source mode='bind' host='127.0.0.1' service='4555'/>
      <protocol type='raw'/>
      <target port='1'/>
      <alias name='serial1'/>
    </serial>

Tested with:
virt-manager-0.9.0-20.el6.x86_64

Steps:
1.Launch virt-manager.
2.Open a guest console,click on "add hardware"->"Serial"->"TCP net console (tcp)"
3.Select mode: "Client mode. (connect)"
4.Click "Finish"
5.Check the xml of guest,it shows as:
    <serial type='tcp'>
      <source mode='connect' host='127.0.0.1' service='4555'/>
      <protocol type='raw'/>
      <target port='1'/>
    </serial>

Refer to the above steps,move the bug to VERIFIED.
