so far so good. So what about the output? Do you get any exceptions or errors? If no virtual machines are up and running at the moment you will still have to specify the "--all" parameter in order to list also offline machines:
$ virsh -c qemu:///system 'list --all'
Maybe you could just try to run virsh in debug mode and figure out whats happening when errors arise:
$ export LIBVIRT_DEBUG=1; $ virsh -c qemu:///system 'list'
I realized that this URI is not appropriate for my xen. I have tried as root: # virsh -c xen:/// list Id Name State ---------------------------------- 0 Domain-0 running 14 i-4E8D088D idle As user eucalyptus: $ virsh -c xen:/// list Id Name State ---------------------------------- And as user eucalyptus with debug mode I got sth like this: 12:07:43.032: 22147: debug : xenUnifiedOpen:335 : Trying XenD sub-driver 12:07:43.032: 22147: debug : xenUnifiedOpen:364 : Handing off for remote driver 12:07:43.032: 22147: debug : xenUnifiedOpen:393 : Failed to activate a mandatory sub-driver Do you need more output? regards Maciej
