Re: [libvirt] iface-list command in virsh

As the iface-list command doesn't work, I'm trying to get physical interface of a host via nodedev-list, but it doesn't give me bridges, like br0 for example (which exists anyway). How can I retrieve available bridges of a host ?

I have tried to use virsh iface-list in remote TCP connection and it fails also. I have trying on the libvirt host with my normal account and it fails also, but when I connect under root account on the libvirt host, iface-list works. Any clue ? When you run virsh locally as non-root, it connects to qemu://session, which doesn't have root privileges, and the iface-* commands won't work (because netcf requires root to run). If you run virsh as root, you will be connected to qemu://system, which has root, and iface-* will work. The failure to work when connecting to a remote libvirtd is puzzling, though. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list(a)redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
