I am getting the below error > > "error: invalid argument in libvirt was built without the 'xenapi' driver" The means that your libvirt version is new enough and contains the XenAPI driver but that it was disabled on configure time, probably because the build server didn't have libxenserver installed and libvirt's configure script automatically disabled the driver because of a missing dependency. > I have installed libvirt from citrix yum repo. Then Citrix build libvirt without XenAPI support. As a long term solution you could report to whom ever is responsible for that repo and request to enabled XenAPI support in that libvirt package. As a short term solution you could build libvirt from source yourself and make sure to get the XenAPI driver enabled. > I am using Xenserver 5.5 with libvirt 0.8.2 and it does not seem to be > working. According to http://libvirt.org/hvsupport.html and the error message 0.8.2 is new enough.
