Hi.
Thanks to help of this mailing list (especially Jim Fehlig), I have finished setup of
libvirt.
However, there is something weird. It is that I installed libvirt on 5 servers but
the default connection of one of them is 'qemu:///' even if those of the others
are all 'xen:///'.
You probably installed the QEMU driver on that one server only: if
that's indeed the case, the easiest way to fix the inconsistency
would be to uninstall it.
If that fails...
I searched how to change it but, I only found a bypass adding "
LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI='xen:///' " in my .bashrc file.
Currently, value of the variable (LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI) is set to 'qemu:///'.
Since the bypass makes the virtualization type of the server visible 'qemu' to
the open stack, I have to change libvirt configuration.
I also checked some configure files under '/etc/libvirt', such as libvirt.conf,
libvirtd.conf and libxl.conf.
But I have no idea, how and what to change.
Please give me some advise. It will be a big help for me.
... you can simply set
uri_default = "xen:///"
in /etc/libvirt/libvirt.conf to change the system-wide default URI
without having to mess with environment variables.
