Hi.
I am running virtualbox 4.3 on Mac OS X 10.11.12 and libvirtd 1.3.1 (installed with
brew).
I want to control the virtual machines via virsh.
On libvirtd, I enabled tcp mode, removed all the authentication etc.. It's a
development environment, so no worries here.
It allows me to make a call such as:
virsh –c vbox+tcp://172.30.5.51/session list —all
172.30.5.51 being my Mac IP address.
Virsh connects successfully to libvirtd (I see my request in the log) but the "list
—all" returns an error.
virsh -c vbox+tcp://172.30.5.51/session list --all
error: Failed to list domains
error: invalid connection pointer in virGetDomain
Based on the debug logs, it appears the vbox driver is properly used

I've been digging around but can't find anything I should change in my
configuration or in virtualbox.
I poked in the libvirt code, but I am not a C developer, so can't really figure it
out.
Any chance somebody sees a solution to this?
There must be something obvious that I don't see…
Thanks!
