Hi,

I'm trying to access the QEMU monitor in a Xen HVM based domainU. I am running CentOS 5.1 (2.6.18-53.1.14.el5xen) with Xen 3.0.3. My config file reads as follows:

import os, re
arch = os.uname()[4]
if re.search('64', arch):
arch_libdir = 'lib64'
else:
arch_libdir = 'lib'

kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
builder='hvm'
memory = 1024
shadow_memory = 8
name = "xenwin"
vif = [ 'type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0' ]
acpi = 1
apic = 1
disk = [ 'file:/home/xen/xenwin.img,hda,w', 'file:/home/xen/windows.iso,hdc:cdrom,r' ]
device_model = '/usr/' + arch_libdir + '/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
boot="cd"
sdl=1
vnc=0
monitor=1
serial='pty'
usbdevice='tablet'
The guest boots up just fine (I have tried both WinXP and Windows Server 2008) but pressing Ctrl+Alt+2 does not switch the SDL display to the QEMU monitor as I had expected. Are there any additional steps I need to take to enable this functionaility? I'm sure I have missed something so any guidance would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Neal
