The path to the pty of a Xen PV console is set only in
virDomainOpenConsole. But this is done too late. A call to
virDomainGetXMLDesc done before OpenConsole will not have the path to
the pty, but a call after OpenConsole will.
e.g. of the current issue.
Starting a domain with '<console type="pty"/>'
Then:
virDomainGetXMLDesc():
<devices>
<console type='pty'>
<target type='xen' port='0'/>
</console>
</devices>
virDomainOpenConsole()
virDomainGetXMLDesc():
<devices>
<console type='pty' tty='/dev/pts/30'>
<source path='/dev/pts/30'/>
<target type='xen' port='0'/>
</console>
</devices>
The patch intend to have the TTY path on the first call of GetXMLDesc.
This is done by setting up the path at domain start up instead of in
OpenConsole.

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
