Hi Vikas,
FYI, this list is for discussing upstream libvirt development, not a
forum for distro support. Since you are using SLES, it would be best to
enter a support ticket with SUSE.
/kvmh911351246:~ # virsh -c qemu+ssh://9.113.51.247:22/system
<http://9.113.51.247:22/system>
libvir: XML-RPC error : *authentication required*
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor/

The SSH authentication to hypervisor host 9.113.51.247 has already
been established.
/kvmh911351246:~ # *ssh root(a)9.113.51.247 <mailto:root@9.113.51.247>*

Hence the cause of the authentication failure is not clear.
The second connection to another SLES 11.3 host looks like
/
virsh # connect qemu+ssh://9.121.58.19:22/system
<http://9.121.58.19:22/system>
*bash: socat: command not found
libvir: Remote error : socket closed unexpectedly
*error: Failed to connect to the hypervisor/
You could try installing socat on the SLES11 SP3 systems.
where the cause of the error is entirely different.
The libvirt packages available on these environments are
*9.113.51.247 (SLES 11.3)*
/libvirt-cim-0.5.12-0.7.16
libvirt-1.0.5.1-0.7.10
libvirt-python-1.0.5.1-0.7.10
libvirt-client-32bit-1.0.5.1-0.7.10
libvirt-lock-sanlock-1.0.5.1-0.7.10
libvirt-client-1.0.5.1-0.7.10/
*9.121.58.19 (SLES 11.3)*
/libvirt-cim-0.5.12-0.7.16
libvirt-client-1.0.5.1-0.7.10
libvirt-python-1.0.5.1-0.7.10
libvirt-1.0.5.1-0.7.10/
The libvirt packages on your SLES11 SP3 machines are quite old and need
updated.
