Hi,

I'm trying libvirt to connect to Hyper-V servers. It works fine for Hyper-V 2012 servers, however it doesn't work for Hyper-V 2008 R2 (the exact error is | Call to virConnectOpenAuth failed: internal error: Transport error during enumeration: Could not connect (7) (Libvirt::ConnectionError)|.).

I'm using the code provided by libvirt documentation (http://libvirt.org/ruby/examples/open_auth.rb) and have authorized basic auth plus unencrypted connection on both 2008 R2 & 2012 servers (http://libvirt.org/drvhyperv.html#auth).

Surfing the Internet to find some solutions, I found this (https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2014-April/msg00802.html) where a developer talks about stopping 2008 R2 support (because of some technical stuff), while in the documentation (http://libvirt.org/drvhyperv.html) it is explicitely said to be supporting 2008 R2.

My question is : does the support has been stopped or does the code to connect to a 2008 R2 server is different from the 2012 server ?

Hyper-V 2008 R2 support has not been dropped and probably will not be dropped. The error you are seen has nothing to do with the actual supported Hyper-V version, it's a connection error. Libvirt is not able to connect to your Hyper-V 2008 R2 server, check the connectivity to this server. -- Matthias Bolte http://photron.blogspot.com
