Re: [libvirt] Remote Xen and libvirt >= 0.5.0 Issues

Hi, I'm currently running a few servers with CentOS 5.3 (i386) with the stock Xen version: # rpm -q kernel-xen xen libvirt kernel-xen-2.6.18-92.1.22.el5 kernel-xen-2.6.18-128.1.6.el5 xen-3.0.3-80.el5_3.2 libvirt-0.6.3-1 libvirt was compiled from the src RPM from libvirt.org to run on i386 architecture without issue. I'm having a problem when trying to connect to remote Xen installations using versions of libvirt starting from 0.5.0 and above. When issuing virsh commands to query the local instance, it works without issue, but any remote sources gives 'error: failed to connect to the hypervisor'. Here's what LIBVIRT_DEBUG reveals: # LIBVIRT_DEBUG=6 virsh -d 5 -c xen://node3/ list command: "list " 13:53:17.133: debug : do_open:930 : trying driver 0 (Test) ... 13:53:17.133: debug : do_open:936 : driver 0 Test returned DECLINED 13:53:17.133: debug : do_open:930 : trying driver 1 (Xen) ... 13:53:17.133: debug : do_open:936 : driver 1 Xen returned DECLINED 13:53:17.133: debug : do_open:930 : trying driver 2 (OPENVZ) ... 13:53:17.133: debug : do_open:936 : driver 2 OPENVZ returned DECLINED 13:53:17.133: debug : do_open:930 : trying driver 3 (VBOX) ... 13:53:17.133: debug : do_open:936 : driver 3 VBOX returned DECLINED 13:53:17.133: debug : do_open:930 : trying driver 4 (remote) ... 13:53:17.133: debug : do_open:936 : driver 4 remote returned DECLINED 13:53:17.133: debug : virUnrefConnect:210 : unref connection 0x93275d0 1 13:53:17.134: debug : virReleaseConnect:171 : release connection 0x93275d0 error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
