Thanks for your reply. Yet it seems that it does support Xen based on the running script:
virsh --version=long Virsh command line tool of libvirt 0.9.10 See web site at http://libvirt.org/

Good. The next step is determining which hypervisor you are connecting to by default: virsh uri If that isn't right (for example, if it returns qemu:///system), then you need to modify how you are calling virt-install to pass an explicit URI (or set LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI in your environment). Try 'virt-install -c xen:///' to force libvirt to talk to the xen hypervisor. http://libvirt.org/uri.html gives more details on setting a URI. -- Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
