I am trying to setup a kernal-debugging between a VM (target machine) and my laptop(host machine). Both are running Win7. VM is on ESX4.1.
On VM, while trying to set up a serial port using named pipe. Under Edit Settings, I choose Serial port 1, then to the right, after Pipe Name, I put \\.\pipe\Debug and other settings(Near End is Server, Far End is a process). After clicking OK, there is a pop up windows "Check if the input is properly formatted. Please use alphanumeric charaterristics from a-z, A-Z and 0-9". Does ESXi won't accept \ char?
If I just put Debug, it will pass. But the question is how to config Windbg on the host computer(running on a differnt physical machine). In Kernel Debugging dialog, how to sepecify the port. I have tried \\{ip of vm}\Debug and \\{ip of VM}\pipe\Debug. Both not work.
If someone has experience on this, could you please give me a hint?
Thanks alot!!!
