Hi everybody,

I'ld to use virsh over ssh in order to connect to my xen hypervisor from one of my DomU.

I tried: virsh -c xen+ssh://root@192.168.0.67:22 list --all

And it correctly listed the started virtual computers.

And when I tried virsh connect xen+ssh://root@192.168.0.67:22

And I got. error: no connection driver available for xen:/// error: failed to connect to the hypervisor

Does that mean I wrongly configured my computers or that libvirt does not support such connection from a DomU.

Your configuration is fine, but you are probably using a libvirt version older than 0.9.2. There is a difference between the -c option and the connect command in virsh. Without the -c option libvirt tries to auto-detect the connection URI and fails and then never tries the connection URI you gave to the connect command. So either use the -c option instead of the connect command, or update your libvirt version to 0.9.2 or newer to make the connect command working as expected in your case. -- Matthias Bolte http://photron.blogspot.com
