VirtualSerialPortURIBackingInfo data object
specifies network backing for a VirtualSerialPort.
You can use URI backing to create a network serial port on the virtual machine,
supporting connections between the virtual machine and remote systems.
When a virtual machine establishes a connection with a remote system on the network, the virtual machine can act as a server or a client. When the virtual machine acts as a server, it accepts a connection. When the virtual machine acts as a client, it initiates the connection.
You can configure the virtual serial port for communication through a
virtual serial port concentrator that acts as a proxy between the virtual
machine and the network. When you specify a
proxyURI,
the virtual machine initiates the connection with the concentrator
and forwards the direction
and serviceURI
to the concentrator.
For information about using a virtual serial port concentrator,
see Using a Proxy with vSphere Virtual Serial Ports.
ESX hosts support different protocols depending on your virtual serial port configuration.
proxyURI specified),
you can use telnet, TCP, and SSL protocols.
The serviceURI
must use one of the following URI schemes:
<host>:<port> - this is the equivalent of
tcp://<host>:<port>.
tcp://<host>:<port> - unencrypted TCP connection
(IPv4 or IPv6).
tcp4://<host>:<port> - unencrypted TCP connection
(IPv4 only).
tcp6://<host>:<port> - unencrypted TCP connection
(IPv6 only).
ssl://<host>:<port> - this is the equivalent of
tcp+ssl://<host>:<port>.
tcp+ssl://<host>:<port> - encrypted SSL over TCP.
tcp4+ssl://<host>:<port> - SSL over TCP over IPv4.
tcp6+ssl://<host>:<port> - SSL over TCP over IPv6.
telnet://<host>:<port> - telnet over TCP.
The virtual machine and remote system can negotiate and use SSL if the remote
system supports the telnet authentication option; if not, the connection
uses unencrypted text (plaintext).
telnets://<host>:<port> - telnet over SSL over TCP.
In this case, SSL negotiation begins immediately and you cannot use
the telnet authentication option.
proxyURI
to connect to a virtual serial port concentrator, the URI scheme for
the communication between the remote system on the network and the concentrator
depends on the concentrator implementation. The connection between
the concentrator and the virtual serial port must use telnet or secure telnet
(telnets). The proxy URI must use one of the following URI schemes:
telnet://<host>:<port>- telnet over TCP.
The virtual machine and remote system can negotiate and use SSL if the remote
system supports the telnet authentication option; if not, the connection
uses unencrypted text (plaintext).
telnets://<host>:<port> - telnet over SSL over TCP.
In this case, SSL negotiation starts immediately and you cannot use
the telnet authentication option.
You cannot specify a username and password in the proxy URI. Any text following the port specification is ignored.
For information about URI format, see RFC 2396.
