Share my minds: FreeBSD access via Xen console

wtorek, 29 października 2013

To allow access via xen console you need to change /etc/ttys:

-ttyu0 /usr/libexec/getty std.9600 dialup off secure
+ttyu0 /usr/libexec/getty std.9600 dialup on secure

Than add few lines into /boot/loader.conf :

boot_multicons="YES"
boot_serial="YES"
comconsole_speed=9600
console="comconsole,vidconsole"

Now you can restart server.

Now you can access to FreeBSD console via xen:

[root@xenserver1 ~]# xl console "FreeBSD 9.2"

FreeBSD/amd64 (tanatos) (ttyu0)

login:

To end session on console please enter Ctrl+]
