Thanks a ton for the reply Matthias. I tried your suggestion but now I got one more message saying: *virsh # connect esx://172.16.73.14/?no_verify=1* *Enter username for 172.16.73.14 [root]: root* *Enter root's password for 172.16.73.14: * *error: Failed to connect to the hypervisor* *error: internal error: curl_easy_perform() returned an error: Unsupported protocol (1) : Protocol https not supported or disabled in libcurl* Is it because of the curl package? I thought of building curl with https support but there was no such option (--with-https). Can you please tell me why am I getting this.

Hi,
I was trying to connect to ESX server using libvirt's virsh console but I am getting the following error:
virsh# connect esx://172.16.73.14 Enter username for 172.16.73.14 [root]: root Enter root's password for 172.16.73.14: error: Failed to connect to the hypervisor error: internal error curl_easy_perform() returned an error: Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with known CA certificates (60) : SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details: error: 14090086:SSL routine:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed.
Can anyone please help me out with this one and tell me how to resolve

error?
See http://libvirt.org/drvesx.html#certificates
By default an ESX server uses self-signed SSL certificates. You either need to tell libvirt to not verify the certificates (virsh connect esx://172.16.73.14/?no_verify=1) or replace the SSL certificates with offically signed ones.
