Description Hongqing Yang 2011-01-18 10:37:24 UTC
Description of problem:
when I create the guest with the following script:

virt-install \
--connect qemu:///system \
--virt-type kvm \
--name demo \
--ram 500 \
--disk  path=/home/hongqing/testscript/demo.img,size=10,sparse=true \
--accelerate \
--location ftp://download.englab.nay.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/14/Fedora/x86_64/os/ \
--channel tcp host=127.0.0.1:6080  mode=connect target_type=virtio  name=org.fedoraproject.anaconda.log.0


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Compiled against library: libvir 0.8.3
Using library: libvir 0.8.3
Using API: QEMU 0.8.3
Running hypervisor: QEMU 0.13.0

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum groupinstall virtualization
2. start the listening rsyslogd process on the host, using the analog script described below: 
   eval `scripts/analog -p 6080 ./ -o rsyslogd.conf -s`
3.run the script
  
Actual results:
console output is below:

Expected results:

  <channel type='tcp'>
      <source mode='bind' host='127.0.0.1' service='None'/>
      <protocol type='raw'/>
    </channel>

mode=bind should be *mode=connect* , service =6080

Additional info:

Comment 1 Hongqing Yang 2011-01-18 10:46:45 UTC
the port status is bleow:
tcp        0      0 *:6080      *:*   LISTEN      24547/rsyslogd      
tcp        0      0 *:6080      *:*   LISTEN      24547/rsyslogd

Comment 2 Hongqing Yang 2011-01-19 07:43:04 UTC
I have figure it out:

before the --channel option, the --serial option should be added first.

virt-install \
--connect qemu:///system \
--virt-type kvm \
--name demo \
--ram 500 \
--disk  path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/demo.img,size=10,sparse=true \
--accelerate \
--location ftp://download.englab.nay.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/14/Fedora/x86_64/os/ \
--serial tcp,host=:6080 mode=connect
--channel tcp host=:6080 mode=connect target_type=virtio, name=org.fedoraproject.anaconda.log.0
