libvirt: use "serial console" and "log file" in parallel
==================
Trivial blueprint => No spec
==================
The "serial console" feature was introduced as a means for connecting
to an instance without having network access. From a user perspective
it goes a similar direction like VNC, SPICE and RDP connections.
As an implementation decision, a user could EITHER use the log file
OR the serial console. In other words, if a hypervisor admin configures
a compute node with::
[serial_
enabled=True
all instances which are scheduled on that compute node would NOT be
able to log the early boot messages into the log file.
The intention of this blueprint is to enable libvirt guests to have
* a log file
* AND a serial console
in parallel.

libvirt: use "serial console" and "log file" in parallel
We decided this was best reviewed in code during the last nova meeting, so BP is now approved. --johnthetubuaguy 29th June 2015

libvirt: use log file and serial console at the same time
Seems like this needs a big change in approach based on a -2 on the above patch.
Sorry, we have now hit the non-priority feature freeze for Liberty. You will need to resubmit this blueprint for Mitaka or apply for an exception. For more details on why this is happening, and the rest of the process details, please see: https:/
