[libvirt-users] no connection driver available for No connection for URI xen:///
Hi all, I am trying to use virt-install to install domU image. However, I encountered the following issue. It seems that a connection driver is needed for Xen. I am new to both libvirt and Xen. Anyone have any ideas on what's wrong with the following error ? # virt-install --connect=xen:/// -p -d Thu, 15 Mar 2012 10:17:55 DEBUG Launched with command line: /usr/bin/virt-install --connect=xen:/// -p -d Thu, 15 Mar 2012 10:17:55 DEBUG Requesting libvirt URI xen:/// Thu, 15 Mar 2012 10:17:55 ERROR no connection driver available for No connection for URI xen:/// Thu, 15 Mar 2012 10:17:55 DEBUG Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/virt-install", line 1004, in <module> sys.exit(main()) File "/usr/bin/virt-install", line 984, in main conn = cli.getConnection(options. connect) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/virtinst/cli.py", line 327, in getConnection conn = open_connection(uri) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/virtinst/cli.py", line 342, in open_connection open_flags) File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 102, in openAuth if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virConnectOpenAuth() failed') libvirtError: no connection driver available for No connection for URI xen:/// By the way, Xen is installed successfully as both "xm list" and "xm info" can output appropriately.

This probably means that your copy of libvirt.so and libvirtd was built without xen support. What does virsh --version=long say? Also, are you sure libvirtd is running? -- Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org

Eric, Here is the output: # virsh --version=long Virsh command line tool of libvirt 0.9.10 See web site at http://libvirt.org/ Compiled with support for: Hypervisors: Xen QEmu/KVM UML OpenVZ VirtualBox LXC Test Networking: Remote Daemon Network Bridging Nwfilter VirtualPort Storage: Dir Filesystem SCSI Multipath iSCSI LVM Miscellaneous: SELinux Secrets Debug It seems that it does support Xen. I am not sure if libvirtd is running so I use the following command to start it: [root@XenTester srv]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/libvirtd start But the same error is still there. Am I using the right way to start libvirtd service? Are there any other possible reasons of this error? Thanks, -- Su Zhang Ph.D Candidate Computing and Information Sciences Kansas State University

In addition, I want to know your libvirt.so, libvirtd, xend location, for example, # which libvirtd # which xend # locate libvirt.so Please also make sure xend service is running: # service xend status

Yeah, Xen indeed appears in Hypervisors line.
I am not sure if libvirtd is running so I use the following command to start it:
[root@XenTester srv]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/libvirtd start
Right, you may also use service libvirtd start, and check it by service libvirtd status or ps -ef|grep libvirtd.
But the same error is still there.
Am I using the right way to start libvirtd service? Are there any other possible reasons of this error?

Alex,
Here is some information:
# /etc/init.d/xencommons start Starting xenstored... Setting domain 0 name... Starting xenconsoled... [root@XenTester su]# /etc/init.d/xend start [root@XenTester su]# which libvirtd /usr/local/sbin/libvirtd [root@XenTester su]# which xend /usr/sbin/xend [root@XenTester su]# locate libvirt.so /usr/lib64/libvirt.so.0 /usr/lib64/libvirt.so.0.9.4 /usr/local/lib/libvirt.so /usr/local/lib/libvirt.so.0 /usr/local/lib/libvirt.so.0.9.10
You have 2 different libvirt versions 0.9.4 and 0.9.10, and your 0.9.10 is put under the /usr/local/lib directory, so I guess you haven't used ./configure with --prefix=/usr option or directly use ./autogen.sh --system when you configure and compile libvirt. And also please yum install strace -y if you haven't installed strace rpm, then run the following operation: # strace -o strace.txt virt-install --connect=xen:/// -p Then attach strace.txt as a attachment. Thanks, Alex
