Hi,

I’m interested in using libvirt to communicate with Microsoft’s Hyper-V. I’m trying to use virsh, but with no success. I have a machine that runs Windows Server Developer Preview with Hyper-V on it, ip x.x.x.x

I set the service Basic and AlloUnencrypted properties on this machine to true, as required

I also have a Linux machine x.x.y.y, with libvirt installed. This is what I get:

virsh -c hyperv://x.x.x.x/?transport=http

error: Cannot read CA certificate '/etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem': No such file or directory

error: failed to connect to the hypervisor

My questions are:

1.      As I understand, if my hypervisor was on Linux, there’s a daemon “libvirtd” that should be installed on it. Is there an equivalent service for Windows? I installed this thing on the Hyper-V machine: http://libvirt.org/sources/win32_experimental/Libvirt-0.8.8-0.exe, but am not sure about its purpose.

2.      Why do I get an error about certificate, when I specified the transport to be http?

Thanks,

Vadim
