Hi libvirts,
I'm playing with libvirt on Windows (downloaded the x64 msi) but I'm
stuck at the following:
virsh # net-edit default
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
error: invalid argument: transport methods unix, ssh and ext are not
supported under Windows
Libvirt has two sorts of drivers - stateless ones and stateful ones.
The stateful ones require use of the libvirtd daemon and are not
supported (nor even built) on Windows.
The Windows builds can most usefully act as a remote RPC client to
connect to Linux hypervisor hosts.
For this, you'll want to use the TLS transport eg
virsh -c qemu+tls://some.linux.kvm.host/system
and you'll need to setup TLS certificates on client & host too.

Daniel
