[libvirt-users] VirtualBox + Virsh
Hi I am trying to add a virtualbox domain to my virsh installation, I get: error: Failed to define domain from Ondria.xml
https://gist.github.com/jztech101/5aeebb82412c1910dc1f<<; error: internal error: unexpected domain type vbox, expecting one of these: qemu, kqemu, kvm, xen.
virsh is compiled with VirtualBox support so I'm confused: Virsh -V >> Virsh command line tool of libvirt 1.2.2 See web site athttp://libvirt.org/ Compiled with support for: Hypervisors: QEMU/KVM LXC UML Xen LibXL OpenVZ VMWare VirtualBox Test Networking: Remote Network Bridging Interface netcf Nwfilter VirtualPort Storage: Dir Disk Filesystem SCSI Multipath iSCSI LVM RBD Sheepdog Miscellaneous: Daemon Nodedev AppArmor Secrets Debug Readline Modular. After some insight, I decided to run it like this instead: " virsh -c vbox:///session create Ondria.xml" Now I get: error: failed to connect to the hypervisor error: internal error: unable to initialize VirtualBox driver API So, after further insight, I ran "export VBOX_APP_HOME=/usr/lib/virtualbox" and tried again. Same error as above. (/usr/lib/virtualbox is where VBoxCPCOMC.so lies and I'm told the reason for the above error is it cannot find that file in any "normal" location. Help? It should be noted I installed VirtualBox-5.0 directly from the VBox Repo for Ubuntu 14.04LTS Regards, Julian Zhou

not sure if it help: Ubuntu libvirt's driver for Virtualbox is disabled by default: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/667076 So...u may have do recompile it as follow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2778638/libvirt-and-virtualbox-getting-st...

hi Peter, If it wasn't compiled with VBox support, it would not say this: Compiled with support for: Hypervisors: QEMU/KVM LXC UML Xen LibXL OpenVZ VMWare *VirtualBox* Test Furthermore, checking in the comments of the link, I find it is a duplicate of this one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/1103721 Which clearly states that it is fixed and as in raring. I'm on trusty right now... Regards, Julian Zhou On 09/28/2015 08:13 PM, Peter Teoh wrote:
