Re: [libvirt-users] Problems connecting to Virtualbox hypervisor using libvirt java binding
2011/5/11 Tarciso Oliveira <tarcisocomp(a)gmail.com>:
I am trying to connect to the virtualbox hypervisor through libvirt
java
binding.
I am on Ubuntu 10.04 and I have installed libvirt-0.85, libvirt-java-0.4.6
and virtualbox-ose-dkms. I have configured libvirt project and its java
binding at Eclipse and the default test of the binding runs properly. When I
try to run a simple test in java with the connection:
conn = new Connect("vbox:///session", false)
I get the following exception: "exception caught:org.libvirt.
LibvirtException: Failed to start the nwfilter driver: Is the daemon running
?"
This is actually a warning, but the Java bindings report it as an
exception. This is fixed in libvirt-java 0.4.7
If I try to do the same thing, but instead of using the java biding
I use
virsh, it works. I am able to connect and start the virtual machine
successfully, although none of the nwfilter commands work in virsh.
That's expected because virConnectOpen doesn't actually fail and
therefore virsh ignores the warning.
Actually, recent libvirt stopped reporting this warning at all.
