CentOS Virtualization
Re: CentOS Virtualization
No, it's more likely the guest isn't set up to use that console. Do you have ssh access to the guest? If so then check to see if it has console=ttyS0 as part of its kernel command line in /proc/cmdline and if not, you could try adding it via the grub.cfg/conf file for the guest version.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

Re: CentOS Virtualization
So I can access this VM from putty now. Now I just need to dump the mysql data from the database running on it.

Re: CentOS Virtualization
So i am back again and need more assistance on this. I have made a mistake by removing access via SSH to this VM and have no way to access it. Can anyone assist in telling me how i can re-enable SSH from the VM on the host machine? To be more specific, it had a pubkey that was used and I needed to remove it so I could run this Linux VM through VMware converter. I added PubkeyAuthentication no to /etc/ssh/sshd_config and now I am unable to access it at all. So now I am back to this:
# virsh console <myhost>7
Connected to domain <myhost>7
Escape character is ^]
and I need to get onto that VM so i can remove the PubkeyAuthentication no line from the sshd_config
#struggling
# virsh console <myhost>7
Connected to domain <myhost>7
Escape character is ^]
and I need to get onto that VM so i can remove the PubkeyAuthentication no line from the sshd_config
#struggling
Re: CentOS Virtualization
You do know that you can run both VMWare and Virtual Box on Linux.
Re: CentOS Virtualization
But kvm and libvirt are what we ship as part of CentOS.

Re: CentOS Virtualization
If you can access the "real" console, you can define the init to be a shell (init=/bin/bash for example)..... it depends.
