Hi,
I am frustrated searching for a quick-start documentation for virsh, just to no avail. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Here is what I did: - Compile and install libvirt, virt-manager, virt-install and virt-viewer from source code. This is done (on Ubuntu 8.04). - Now I want to do install a new VM with QEMU or KVM. I got the below error with virt-install:
# virt-install -c qemu:///system --name jeos2 --ram 500 --file img.jeos2 --cdrom jeos-8.04.1-jeos-i386.iso Fri, 15 Aug 2008 19:19:10 ERROR virConnectOpen() failed Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/virt-install", line 496, in <module> main() File "/usr/bin/virt-install", line 345, in main conn = cli.getConnection(options.connect) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/virtinst/cli.py", line 92, in getConnection return libvirt.open(connect) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 139, in open if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virConnectOpen() failed') libvirtError: virConnectOpen() failed
How to fix this? Perhaps I need to run libvirtd before using virsh???
I tried to run libvirtd to see if that fixes the problem, but got the below error:
Yes, for QEMU you need to have the libvirtd daemon up & running. Before attempting to connect with virt-install, make sure you can connect with virsh, eg as a good test run: virsh --connect qemu:///system capabilities
# libvirtd libvir: QEMU error : internal error failed to set bridge forward delay to 0 Failed to autostart network 'default': internal error failed to set bridge forward delay to 0
This suggests you are missing the 'brctl' command - it is part of the bridge-utils packages Daniel -- |: Red Hat, Engineering, London -o- http://people.redhat.com/berrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org -o- http://ovirt.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: GnuPG: 7D3B9505 -o- F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 :|
