Re: [Qemu-devel] Spice vdagent on SLED 11

[Raj Rajasekaran]

lspci listed 'Communication Controller Virtio console' as one of the devices exposed. But I did not see any /dev/vport*.

So the right config is being passed to KVM.
You can run lspci in the virtual machine to make sure the right PCI devices are being exposed.
Then presuming the guest as virtio-serial support (and I don't know if SLED11 has that compiled in) then you'll see /dev/vport* (and potentially symlinks in /dev/virtio-ports/ depending on how udev is setup in SLED)
