[libvirt-users] libvirt, OSX and VirtualBox - how?
I have a new OSX Lion Macbook and would like to control VirtualBox using "virsh" (as I do with KVM under Ubuntu). I've got this far: * Installed VirtualBox * Installed libvirt (brew install libvirt) But now I'm a bit stuck :-) I ran VirtualBox itself, and created a test VM successfully. If I try to use virsh, this is what I get: Brians-MacBook-Air:~ $ virsh -c vbox:///session error: internal error unable to initialize VirtualBox driver API error: failed to connect to the hypervisor Brians-MacBook-Air:~ $ virsh -c vbox+unix:///session error: Failed to connect socket to '@/Users/brian/.libvirt/libvirt-sock': No such file or directory error: failed to connect to the hypervisor If I try to start libvirtd, this is what I get: Brians-MacBook-Air:~ $ /usr/local/sbin/libvirtd 00:00:18.970: -1: info : libvirt version: 0.9.6 00:00:18.970: -1: error : virNetSocketNewListenUNIX:340 : Failed to bind socket to '@/Users/brian/.libvirt/libvirt-sock': No such file or directory [but directory /Users/brian/.libvirt was created] However, VirtualBox itself is running OK: Brians-MacBook-Air:~ $ VBoxManage list vms "test" {d0d74c25-1dfc-44a4-8a2b-1d25b7972e7c} Furthermore, dtruss suggests that virsh is finding the installed VirtualBox: Brians-MacBook-Air:~ $ sudo dtruss

Has anybody got libvirt + OSX Lion + VirtualBox working, and if so, how did you do it? I see the same question asked here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7946994/libvirt-and-virtualbox-on-osx but unfortunately no response as yet. Thanks in advance, Brian.
2011/11/6 Brian Candler <B.Candler@pobox.com>:
I have a new OSX Lion Macbook and would like to control VirtualBox using "virsh" (as I do with KVM under Ubuntu).
I've got this far:
* Installed VirtualBox
Which version?
But now I'm a bit stuck :-)
I ran VirtualBox itself, and created a test VM successfully.
If I try to use virsh, this is what I get:
Brians-MacBook-Air:~ $ virsh -c vbox:///session error: internal error unable to initialize VirtualBox driver API error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
vbox:///session is the correct URI.
Brians-MacBook-Air:~ $ virsh -c vbox+unix:///session error: Failed to connect socket to '@/Users/brian/.libvirt/libvirt-sock': No such file or directory error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
If I try to start libvirtd, this is what I get:
Brians-MacBook-Air:~ $ /usr/local/sbin/libvirtd 00:00:18.970: -1: info : libvirt version: 0.9.6 00:00:18.970: -1: error : virNetSocketNewListenUNIX:340 : Failed to bind socket to '@/Users/brian/.libvirt/libvirt-sock': No such file or directory
[but directory /Users/brian/.libvirt was created]
IIRC the problem here is that libvirtd uses anonymous UNIX sockets that are specific to Linux. Anyway, you don't need libvirtd for VirtualBox, virsh -c vbox:///session is just fine.
However, VirtualBox itself is running OK:
Brians-MacBook-Air:~ $ VBoxManage list vms "test" {d0d74c25-1dfc-44a4-8a2b-1d25b7972e7c}
Furthermore, dtruss suggests that virsh is finding the installed VirtualBox:
Brians-MacBook-Air:~ $ sudo dtruss -f virsh -c vbox:///session 2>&1 | grep -i virtualbox error: internal error unable to initialize VirtualBox driver API 48916/0x3cc08: write_nocancel(0x2, "internal error unable to initialize VirtualBox driver API\n\0", 0x3A) = 58 0 48916/0x3cc08: access("/usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxXPCOMC.dylib\0", 0x0, 0x0) = -1 Err#2 48916/0x3cc08: access("/usr/lib/virtualbox-ose/VBoxXPCOMC.dylib\0", 0x0, 0x0) = -1 Err#2 48916/0x3cc08: access("/usr/lib64/virtualbox/VBoxXPCOMC.dylib\0", 0x0, 0x0) = -1 Err#2 48916/0x3cc08: access("/usr/lib64/virtualbox-ose/VBoxXPCOMC.dylib\0", 0x0, 0x0) = -1 Err#2 48916/0x3cc08: access("/usr/lib/VirtualBox/VBoxXPCOMC.dylib\0", 0x0, 0x0) = -1 Err#2 48916/0x3cc08: access("/opt/virtualbox/VBoxXPCOMC.dylib\0", 0x0, 0x0) = -1 Err#2 48916/0x3cc08: access("/opt/VirtualBox/VBoxXPCOMC.dylib\0", 0x0, 0x0) = -1 Err#2 48916/0x3cc08: access("/opt/virtualbox/i386/VBoxXPCOMC.dylib\0", 0x0, 0x0) = -1 Err#2 48916/0x3cc08: access("/opt/VirtualBox/i386/VBoxXPCOMC.dylib\0", 0x0, 0x0) = -1 Err#2 48916/0x3cc08: access("/opt/virtualbox/amd64/VBoxXPCOMC.dylib\0", 0x0, 0x0) = -1 Err#2 48916/0x3cc08: access("/opt/VirtualBox/amd64/VBoxXPCOMC.dylib\0", 0x0, 0x0) = -1 Err#2 48916/0x3cc08: access("/usr/local/lib/virtualbox/VBoxXPCOMC.dylib\0", 0x0, 0x0) = -1 Err#2 48916/0x3cc08: access("/usr/local/lib/VirtualBox/VBoxXPCOMC.dylib\0", 0x0, 0x0) = -1 Err#2 48916/0x3cc08: access("/Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/MacOS/VBoxXPCOMC.dylib\0", 0x0, 0x0) = 0 0 48916/0x3cc08: stat64("/Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/MacOS/VBoxXPCOMC.dylib\0", 0x7FFF685D0980, 0x7FFF685D1810) = 0 0 48916/0x3cc08: open("/Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/MacOS/VBoxXPCOMC.dylib\0", 0x0, 0x0) = 4 0 48916/0x3cc08: stat64("/Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/MacOS/VBoxRT.dylib\0", 0x7FFF685D0750, 0x7FFF685D15D0) = 0 0 48916/0x3cc08: open("/Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/MacOS/VBoxRT.dylib\0", 0x0, 0x0) = 4 0 48916/0x3cc08: stat64("/Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/MacOS/VBoxXPCOM.dylib\0", 0x7FFF685D0750, 0x7FFF685D15D0) = 0 0 48916/0x3cc08: open("/Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/MacOS/VBoxXPCOM.dylib\0", 0x0, 0x0) = 4 0
That's good, so libvirt actually finds the required XPCOM library. The error you're getting indicates that libvirt has a problem initializing the XPCOM library.
Has anybody got libvirt + OSX Lion + VirtualBox working, and if so, how did you do it?
I don't have an OSX at hand for testing, but you can try LIBVIRT_LOG_FILTERS=1:vbox virsh -c vbox:///session and post the output here. This might give a hint about what's wrong. -- Matthias Bolte http://photron.blogspot.com

OK, that's good to know.

This is a known problem and there is already a patch proposed for this. https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-November/msg00244.html It's not in git yet, but will make it into libvirt 0.9.7 final. -- Matthias Bolte http://photron.blogspot.com

Thanks. I found a simple workaround: brew install libvirt --without-libvirtd builds fine with 0.9.7-rc2, and you said I didn't need libvirtd. And yay! Brians-MacBook-Air:~ $ virsh list Id Name State ---------------------------------- 2 raddev64 running Regards, Brian.

0.9.7 final builds and works fine for me under OSX, and controls VirtualBox 4.1. Thank you!
