[libvirt-users] aliases for graphic devices

[Francesco Romani]

Hello,

AFAIK, aliases cannot be set for Graphics devices. I tried this very simple experiment
with libvirt 1.2.4 (from virt-preview on F20)

relevant part of the input xml:

    <graphics type='spice' port='-1' autoport='yes' listen='127.0.0.1'>
      <listen type='address' address='127.0.0.1'/>
      <alias name='display.0'/>
    </graphics>
    <graphics type='vnc' port='-1' autoport='yes' listen='127.0.0.1'>
      <listen type='address' address='127.0.0.1'/>
      <alias name='display.1'/>
    </graphics>


# virsh -c qemu:///system
virsh # create testdom_spice_vnc_aliases.xml  # see attachment
Domain fedora19 created from testdom_spice_vnc_aliases.xml

virsh # dumpxml fedora19  # only relevant part, see attachment for full output
[...]
    <graphics type='spice' port='5900' autoport='yes' listen='127.0.0.1'>
      <listen type='address' address='127.0.0.1'/>
    </graphics>
    <graphics type='vnc' port='5901' autoport='yes' listen='127.0.0.1'>
      <listen type='address' address='127.0.0.1'/>
    </graphics>
[...]

So, are really aliases not allowed for the Graphics Devices or am I doing something wrong?
If aliases aren't allowed, any plans to support them?

Thanks and best regards,
