Description of problem: Consoles get scrambled and unusable if two clients try to connect at same time to the console. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libvirt-0.9.4-17.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. append 'console=ttyS0,115200' to guest kernel cmdline in grub.conf 2. reboot guest 3. open a terminal and run virsh console $guest 4. open another terminal and run virsh console $guest 6. run other shell command such as 'ls' in the first terminal Actual results: Output information is incomplete in these 2 terminals. Expected results: if a client has opened the console, and the other clients should get a notice rather than continue to allow connect the console, it will let 2 clients confusion, especially, if these 2 clients are a remote users. Additional info: Maybe, There are 2 solutions for this issue: 1. Document these stuff in virsh man page or other place such as libvirt.org 2. Get a notice if the console is alive. Solution 2 should be very nice.
