Testing Serial Console
The main aim of this feature is exposing an interactive web-based serial consoles through a web-socket proxy. This page describes how to test it from a devstack environment.
Setting up a devstack environment
For instructions on how to setup devstack with serial console support enabled see this guide.
Testing the API
Starting a new instance.
# cd devstack && . openrc
# nova boot --flavor 1 --image cirros-0.3.2-x86_64-uec cirros1
Nova provides a command nova get-serial-console which will returns a URL with a valid token to connect to the serial console of VMs.
# nova get-serial-console cirros1
+--------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
| Type | Url |

Currently nova does not provide any client able to connect from an interactive console through a web-socket. A simple client for test purpose can be written with few lines of Python.
# sudo easy_install ws4py || sudo pip install ws4py
# cat >> client.py <<EOF
import sys
from ws4py.client.threadedclient import WebSocketClient
class LazyClient(WebSocketClient):
def run(self):
try:
while not self.terminated:
try:
= self.sock.recv(4096)
b
sys.stdout.write(b)
sys.stdout.flush()except: # socket error expected
pass
finally:
self.terminate()
if __name__ == '__main__':
if len(sys.argv) != 2 or not sys.argv[1].startswith("ws"):
print "Usage %s: Please use websocket url"
print "Example: ws://127.0.0.1:6083/?token=xxx"
1)
exit(try:
= LazyClient(sys.argv[1], protocols=['binary'])
ws connect()
ws.while True:
# keyboard event...
= sys.stdin.read(1)
c if c:
ws.send(c)
ws.run_forever()except KeyboardInterrupt:
ws.close() EOF
# python client.py ws://127.0.0.1:6083/?token=5f7854b7-bf3a-41eb-857a-43fc33f0b1ec
