Re: [libvirt-users] Communication with Hyper-V

Hi,
I’m interested in using libvirt to communicate with Microsoft’s Hyper-V. I’m
trying to use virsh, but with no success. I have a machine that runs Windows
Server Developer Preview with Hyper-V on it, ip x.x.x.x
I set the service Basic and AlloUnencrypted properties on this machine to
true, as required
I also have a Linux machine x.x.y.y, with libvirt installed. This is what I
get:
virsh -c hyperv://x.x.x.x/?transport=http
error: Cannot read CA certificate '/etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem': No such file or
directory
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
My questions are:
1. As I understand, if my hypervisor was on Linux, there’s a daemon
“libvirtd” that should be installed on it. Is there an equivalent service
for Windows? I installed this thing on the Hyper-V machine:
http://libvirt.org/sources/win32_experimental/Libvirt-0.8.8-0.exe, but am
not sure about its purpose.
No need for libvirtd on the Hyper-V server. The libvirt on your Linux
machine will directly talk to the Hyper-V management API on the
Hyper-V server.
2. Why do I get an error about certificate, when I specified
the
transport to be http?
That error message gives you the wrong impression. Your problem is
probably that your libvirt version on the Linux machine is too old and
doesn't have support for Hyper-V yet.
Basic Hyper-V support was added in libvirt version 0.9.5.
