Hi all,
I am trying to use virt-install to install domU image. However, I encountered the following issue. It seems that a connection driver is needed for Xen. I am new to both libvirt and Xen. Anyone have any ideas on what's wrong with the following error ?
# virt-install --connect=xen:/// -p -d Thu, 15 Mar 2012 10:17:55 DEBUG Launched with command line: /usr/bin/virt-install --connect=xen:/// -p -d Thu, 15 Mar 2012 10:17:55 DEBUG Requesting libvirt URI xen:/// Thu, 15 Mar 2012 10:17:55 ERROR no connection driver available for No connection for URI xen:///
This probably means that your copy of libvirt.so and libvirtd was built without xen support. What does
virsh --version=long
say? Also, are you sure libvirtd is running?

Eric, Here is the output: # virsh --version=long Virsh command line tool of libvirt 0.9.10 See web site at http://libvirt.org/ Compiled with support for: Hypervisors: Xen QEmu/KVM UML OpenVZ VirtualBox LXC Test Networking: Remote Daemon Network Bridging Nwfilter VirtualPort Storage: Dir Filesystem SCSI Multipath iSCSI LVM Miscellaneous: SELinux Secrets Debug It seems that it does support Xen. I am not sure if libvirtd is running so I use the following command to start it: [root@XenTester srv]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/libvirtd start But the same error is still there. Am I using the right way to start libvirtd service? Are there any other possible reasons of this error? Thanks, -- Su Zhang Ph.D Candidate Computing and Information Sciences Kansas State University
