Hi libvirt team,
I found there are very few documents to mention how to launch a libvirtd
daemon when built from the source code.
A moment ago, I un-install all the kvm related stuff (kvm module,
libvirt, virt-manager, virsh, qemu-kvm...) from my ubuntu system.
Then I built the libvirt from the source tar package:
1. #./autogen.sh --system --with-phyp --enable-debug=yes CFLAGS=-g
2. #make
3. #make install
Everything is OK :), but wait a minute --
According to the instruction in
libvirt.org, the option flag "--system"
in above step 1 will make the environment is the same as the pre-built
package installation, eg, apt-get install ... because I found that the
"libvirtd" daemon is not active with "ps aux | grep libvirtd", so I
try
to start it manually:
Method 1: root@dennis-:/home/dennis/workspace/AIX# service libvirtd start
libvirtd: unrecognized service
Method 2: root@dennis-:/home/dennis/workspace/AIX# /etc/init.d/libvirtd
start
bash: /etc/init.d/libvirtd: No such file or directory
Method 3: root@dennis-:/home/dennis/workspace/AIX# /usr/sbin/libvirtd start
2012-07-05 09:20:42.225+0000: 32749: info : libvirt version: 0.9.12
2012-07-05 09:20:42.225+0000: 32749: error : virDomainDefParseXML:8303 :
unknown OS type hvm
I don't know if the method 3 is success or not, but I have no time to
verify it now, because I have to leave the office now for the later
traffic jam... Why "unknow OS type hvm"?
If my experiment is useful, then please document it in the
libvirt.org
page...
BRs,
Dennis
