hi,: I am a new user of libvirt ,I asked a question about using libvirt to connect to esxi server. I got the answer is https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-February/msg00860.html So,I try to make the change on the mailing list you just added. - * Add a dummy expect header to stop CURL from waiting for a response code + * Add an empty expect header to stop CURL from waiting for a response code - curl->headers = curl_slist_append(curl->headers, "Expect: nothing"); + curl->headers = curl_slist_append(curl->headers, "Expect:"); and I did the follow steps in my computer: 1../configure --with-esx 2.make 3.make install 4../autogen.sh --prefix=$HOME/usr 5.make 6.make install I complete installing the libvirt and run the command :virsh --version ,get the right answer 0.9.7 and I run the command :virsh -c esx://me@exampe.com/?tansport=http the error before I mentioned related to http did disappeared ,but and I still get a error like:error: internal error XPath evaluation of response for call to 'RetrieveServiceContent' failed I don't understand what does this error mean,or is my steps wrong ?so I hope you can help me to figure out the promble. thanks a lot and so sorry for trouble you too much .waiting for you reply on line. ps: I have another question about libvirt , I saw this :%if %{with_esx}%if 0%{?fedora} >= 9 || 0%{?rhel} >= 6 in /libvirt0.9.7/livirt.spec,I want to know if libvirt esx driver only can be useful on fedora>=9||rhel>=6,and the other OS like centos 6.0 or redhat ,will disable the use of esx driver of libvirt. thanks again. best regards! ------------------ 原始邮件 ------------------ 发件人: "Matthias Bolte"<matthias.bolte@googlemail.com>; 发送时间: 2012年2月21日(星期二) 凌晨5:44 收件人: "冰淇淋"<453193368@qq.com>; 抄送: "libvirt-users"<libvirt-users@redhat.com>; 主题: Re: [libvirt-users] the probelm in using libvirt to connect esx server 2012/2/20 冰淇淋 <453193368@qq.com>:
hi, I am a new user of libvirt ,i really appreciate libvirt，and want to use it in my work.I want to use it to conncet to a ESXi server.when I try to connect to the server ,I use the command :virsh -c esx://name@exmaple.com,And I get an
1.error :error: internal error curl_easy_perform() returned an error: Couldn't connect to server (7) : couldn't connect to host so I think maybe the firewall shutdown the 443 for https,so I used command:virsh -c esx://name@example.com/?transport=http And I still get an error like: error: internal error HTTP response code 417 for call to 'RetrieveServiceContent' error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
HTTP error code 417 is related to the Expect header. The error indicates that the server or a proxy in between doesn't handle the Expect header. I assume that the ESXi sever itself is not the problem, because it works for me here. Maybe there is a HTTP proxy between your computer and the ESXi server that returns this 417 error code. This problem is probably related to libvirt sending a dummy Expect header instead of sending no Expect at all. If you're building libvirt from source you can try this patch that I just send to the mailing list for review https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-February/msg00860.html It fixes the Expect header problem and might fix your connection problem. -- Matthias Bolte http://photron.blogspot.com </:includetail>
