I searched how to change it but, I only found a bypass adding " LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI='xen:///' " in my .bashrc file. Currently, value of the variable (LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI) is set to 'qemu:///'. Since the bypass makes the virtualization type of the server visible 'qemu' to the open stack, I have to change libvirt configuration.
I also checked some configure files under '/etc/libvirt', such as libvirt.conf, libvirtd.conf and libxl.conf. But I have no idea, how and what to change. Please give me some advise. It will be a big help for me.
... you can simply set
uri_default = "xen:///"
in /etc/libvirt/libvirt.conf to change the system-wide default URI without having to mess with environment variables.
Or in .config/libvirt/libvirt.conf for a non-root user.
Alternatively, you can set the following env variable in your .bashrc to the desired URI:
LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI
... Which, as you can see above, is exactly what OP is already doing and what they're looking for an alternative to ;)
Aaand I obviously should learn again how to read, sorry...
Also note that, at least as far as I understand, they want to make sure the xen:/// default URI is picked up by an high-level management application (in this case OpenStack), which suggests the new default should be set globally rather than per-user, which is the reason why
Yeah, agreed. Erik
