Hello,
Hi again Ranjith,
I posted this yesterday to the Xen-devel list, posting it additionally to the fedoraproject list too. My problem is Virt-manager is unable to connect to the hypervisor (explained below). However, xm list, xm info work fine.
Yes, I saw your other e-mail too, but I'm afraid I can't help much as I always have: - used xl only, when building Xen from sources, - used Fedora Xen packages only, when using libvirt stuff
:-(
So I followed the guide http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_4.2_Build_From_Source_On_RHEL_CentOS_Fedora and built/installed Xen from source, using grub2-mkconfig to rebuild grub and was able to reboot Dom0 with Xen successfully.
Ok.
Then I installed packages for virt-manager. # yum install libvirt-daemon-xen python-virtinst libvirt-daemon-config-network libvirt-daemon-driver-network virt-manager virt-viewer Everything got installed except for one package. Got an error message "No package libvirt-daemon-driver-network available."
On my Fedora 18, I get this:
$ yum search libvirt-daemon-driver-network ... ... ==================================================================================== libvirt-daemon-driver-network.x86_64 : Network driver plugin for the libvirtd daemon
$ rpm -qa | grep libvirt-daemon-driver-network libvirt-daemon-driver-network-1.0.6-3.fc18.x86_64
Anyway, I do not think this could be the cause of your issue.
Now when I start virt-manager, it is unable to connect to Xen and fails with the following error. # virt-manager Unable to connect to libvirt.
unable to connect to 'localhost:8000': Connection refused
Verify that:
- A Xen host kernel was booted
- The Xen service has been started
Libvirt URI is: xen:///
I see... Just shooting in the dark here, and forgive me if it's a stupid question, but is libvirtd running?
# xm list and # xm info work fine. This means xend is running right ?
Indeed. You can double check that with something like:
$ ps aux | grep xend
or:
# service xend status
Although, I'm not sure the latter will work, considering you're not using any Fedora RPM/SRPM...
So in summary, Built and installed from source Xen 4.1.5, on Fedora 17. Can boot into Xen Dom0, xm works, xend running, But virt-manager unable to connect to Xen!
As I said, I'm really short in ideas/experience, sorry. Something I would probably try is: - uninstalling your built version of Xen - installing Fedora 17's Xen packages - try libvirt with them
That would at least tell us more about where --if not what-- the issue could be.
