Try setting autoport to yes in the graphics section of your xml... then libvirt will autosearch for a free port. You can get the port number by running 'ps aux | grep [vmname]' and look in the line for the port number. I gess you have another service running that is using port 5908... -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: libvirt-users-bounces(a)redhat.com [mailto:libvirt-users-bounces@redhat.com] Namens Bill Kenworthy Verzonden: donderdag 17 september 2015 7:20 Aan: libvirt-users(a)redhat.com Onderwerp: [libvirt-users] error: internal error: Failed to reserve port 5908 After saving a particular VM running WinXP, any attempt to resume it (even when no other VM's are running) generates the following error: olympus ~ # virsh restore /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/save/WinXP.save error: Failed to restore domain from /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/save/WinXP.save error: internal error: Failed to reserve port 5908 This started sometimes towards the end of last year with only the WinXP VM. libvirt is supporting a number of windows versions and a heap of linux VM's but its only WinXP that does this. Can someone give a hint as to what is causing it?
