  • 1.  vSPC input length restriction?

    Posted Jul 15, 2014 03:34 PM

    We're using a variant of the virtual serial port concentrator with ESX 5. We've noticed that when a VMs console is connected through vSPC, input is

    truncated to 384 characters. This doesn't happen if we create a VM with a telnet console port and telnet in. We've verified that the packet sent from

    vSPC to the host contains the whole line.

    Is there a limitation on vSPC input sizes, or some setting that we need to change?

    Hi

    Welcome to communities.

    I assume due to data transfer speed only

    No, it seems to just truncate. This is repropduced with manually cutting and pasting into the terminal window for the console.

    In a related update, we have been able to work around this by modifying the send code in vSPC to send a maximum of 300 characters and

    then do a short sleep.
