vmware-vspc

Virtual Serial Port Concentrator for use in the vSphere environment. It collects serial console logs from VMs which have configured virtual serial port pointing to it.

Usage with OpenStack

Copy vspc.conf.sample as vspc.conf and edit as appropriate:

[DEFAULT]
debug = True
host = 0.0.0.0
port = 13370
cert = cert.pem
key = key.pem
uri = vmware-vspc
serial_log_dir = /opt/vmware/vspc

Then start with:

$ vmware-vspc --config-file vspc.conf

In nova.conf add the following properties:

[vmware]
serial_port_service_uri = vmware-vspc
serial_port_proxy_uri = telnets://<vspc_host>:13370#thumbprint=<vspc_thumbprint>

where vspc_host is the host where VSPC runs and vspc_thumbprint is the SHA1 thumbprint of the configured certificate.

Usage with Devstack

There is a devstack plugin, so simply add this to your local.conf:

[[local|localrc]]
