Re: [Xen-users] Need to Access 2 Serial Ports in HVM Win 2K3 server. 
| The multiple serial port option is very recent and definitely not in the yum-available xen packaged for CentOS. If you need multiple serial ports with an older version of xen, you'll need to use a wrapper qemu-dm script that adds the serial ports to the qemu-dm commandline.

Here is my setup - CentOS 5.2, fully yum-updated and Xen 3.0.3.  I have a
 working Windows 2003 Server HVM that has access to one serial port via
 emulation (serial="/dev/ttySXX in the domU config file.)  I have tried,
 without success, to give two serial ports to the HVM by modifying the config
 file as follows:
 
 serial = "/dev/ttys0"
 serial = "/dev/ttys1"
 (this did nothing - no serial ports in the HVM - I realize now this is the
 wrong syntax)
 
 or:
 
 serial = [ "/dev/ttys0", "/dev/ttys1" ]
 
 This is the correct syntax, but the HVM won't start.
 
 I have googled this until my eyes have bled, and the conclusion I have come
 to is that the binaries are complied to support just one serial port per
 HVM.  So here is my questions:  Can I modify the config and recompile the
 source for xen and/or qemu to provide more than one serial port per HVM.
 
 If I can just get someone to point me in the right direction, I would
 greatly appreciate it.
 
 Thanks,
 David
