Re: [libvirt-users] connecting to virtualbox with libvirt

I am trying to connect to the virtualbox hypervisor through libvirt.
If I am doing it correctly,
virsh -c vbox:///session
should get me connected. I am on F14 64 bit. I tried this with both vbox 3.2 and 4.02.
I keep getting the following error:
error: no connection driver available for vbox:///session.
What am I missing?
It looks like the version of libvirt you are using doesn't have the VirtualBox driver
compiled in.
To easily check, do a "virsh -V" to list what's included in the version you
have.
For example, on F13 with a recently compiled development version of libvirt:
$ virsh -V
Virsh command line tool of libvirt 0.8.7
See web site at http://libvirt.org/
Compiled with support for:
Hypervisors: QEmu/KVM UML OpenVZ VirtualBox LXC Test
Networking: Remote Daemon Network Bridging Netcf Nwfilter VirtualPort
Storage: Dir Filesystem SCSI Multipath LVM
Miscellaneous: SELinux Secrets Debug
"VirtualBox" is in the Hypervisor line, so I'd be ok. You might need to
(re)compile the
libvirt you're using.
