CartesianConfigReference KVM guest_port_unattended_install

guest_port_unattended_install

Description

Sets the port of the helper application/script running inside guests that will be used for flagging the end of the unattended install.

Both on Linux and Windows VMs, the default value is 12323:

guest_port_unattended_install = 12323

This must match with the port number on unattended install files. On Linux VMs, this is hardcoded on kickstart files '%post' section:

%post --interpreter /usr/bin/python
...
server = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
server.bind(('', 12323))
server.listen(1)
(client, addr) = server.accept()
client.send("done")
client.close()

This is a specialization of the guest_port configuration entry.
