[libvirt-users] Using virsh on OSX to control a VMs on a linux machine

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi everyone, maybe this is a stupid thing, but Google found no answer. So, for the next one trying this: I have a linux server, that runs a couple of VMs, and on which libvirt and virsh work like a charm. From time to time I'm on a Mac OSX machine, where I can install libvirt from macports very comfortably. But this far I have not gotten it to work with anything apart from the virtualbox that is installed on osx. I always get a hangup error, that is not listed on http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Failed_to_connect_to_the_hypervisor: So I had to enter the path to the socket (on the linux machine), as the OSX libvirt thinks it is in /opt/local/..., where the whole macports stuff is. On linux it's in /var/run/libvirt/. So, the following works: Regards, Johannes - -- `Even if I could, I wouldn't. Scars can come in useful.
