[libvirt-users] Facing problems while connecting virsh to XenServer 6.5 to import VMs to RHEV / oVirt
11:20 a.m.
Hi,
I am trying to import couple of important Virtual Machines from
XenServer 6.5 (from downloaded from xenserver.org) into RHEV / oVirt
environment. When I used the RHEV / oVirt Import Wizard, I was facing
the issues. In order to check further, I attempted to use virsh -c
ssh://root@<xenhost> command to connect and check but received the same
set of errors as in RHEV / oVirt Wizard.
I am able to connect to xen server 6.5 using ssh command without
password and even "sudo -u vdsm ssh root@<xenhost>" also works without
any issues. To dig further I, on xen server, disabled the firewall and
set SELinux to disabled and I am finding that libvirt is unable to
connect to hypervisor.
I have attached the libvirt client logs for your reference.
Can someone help me to debug this and import the VMs from Xen Server 6.5
to RHEV / oVirt? We cannot recreate these Virtual Machines as these are
critical ones and rebuilding will be a herculean task.
Thanks in advance.

You're virsh URI doesn't specify what driver to connect to - just using
'ssh' on its own is not valid.
In any case, we do not have any driver for libvirt that works with
XenServer, so trying virsh is pointless. Whatever RHEV is doing
with XenServer, it doesn't involve libvirt

You should take this to the ovirt mailing lists, or contact customer
support assuming you have a RHEV support subscription.

Hello Daniel,
Thanks for your response.
Any roadmap to include the drivers for XenServer in libvirt?
