[Xen-users] Does XEN support crash carts?

[Steffen Hulegaard <shulegaa@xxxxxxxxx>]

     While VNC is good enough, it doesn?t work 
if the NIC is down.  So is there a way to switch 
amongst guest VM?s once a crash cart?s 
monitor/keyboard/mouse is attached to the 
video/USB/etc. ports (on the back of the physical 
box running XEN)?

     For the network down (out-of-band) 
emergencies, is there a way to 
switch amongst domain and/or guest VM 
consoles once a crash cart ?terminal? (i.e.  
terminal emulator, hyperterm, etc.) is 
attached to the (primary) serial port 
on the back (of a physical box running XEN)?  

     I see that any given VM can be configured 
to map the VM console to the physical serial 
port I/O ? but that would only work for one of the 
VMs at a time ? right?

Thanks,

Jadean
