I'm attempting to connect to my KVM host from a remote system, but am unable to connect using virsh. I'm able to connect if I disable sasl on the KVM host... The KVM host is on CentOS 6 x86_64 with libvirt-0.8.1 Here's the command I'm using, --------- $ virsh -c qemu+ssh://kvmhost.tld/system error: packet received from server too large error: failed to connect to the hypervisor Here's the uncommented lines in my /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf ----------- listen_tls = 1 listen_tcp = 0 listen_addr = "...." (set to eth0) key_file = "/var/lib/puppet/ssl/private_keys/kvmhost.tld.pem" cert_file = "/var/lib/puppet/ssl/certs/kvmhost.tld.pem" ca_file = "/var/lib/puppet/ssl/certs/ca.pem" log_level = 1 log_filters="1:remote 1:event" log_outputs="1:syslog:libvirtd 1:file:/var/log/libvirt/libvirtd.log" There is no output in /var/log/libvirt/libvirtd.log while trying to connect remotely through virsh. The only logs that are generated are /var/log/secure, -------------- Sep 30 19:34:53 kvmhost sshd[20074]: Accepted publickey for foreman from 10.1.0.1 port 55269 ssh2 Sep 30 19:34:53 kvmhost sshd[20074]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user foreman by (uid=0) Sep 30 19:34:53 kvmhost sshd[20074]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session closed for user foreman I've also opened up the port through iptables, 1 ACCEPT tcp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpt:16514 And I don't see anything being blocked by SELinux during these connection attempts. Is there possibly a log filter I could enable to shed more light on this? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks - Trey
