Hello,
Can somebody please point me to documentation regarding installing libvirt
and the associated drivers from .rpms? I tried to compile from sources,
but not sure where can I get the drivers from. What I get from the
./configure script is the following -
configure:71547: Drivers
configure:71549:
configure:71551: Xen: no
configure:71553: QEMU: yes
configure:71555: UML: yes
configure:71557: OpenVZ: yes
configure:71559: VMware: yes
configure:71561: VBox: yes
configure:71563: XenAPI: no
configure:71565: xenlight: no
configure:71567: LXC: no
configure:71569: PHYP: no
configure:71571: ESX: no
configure:71573: Hyper-V: no
configure:71575: Parallels: no
configure:71577: Test: yes
configure:71579: Remote: yes
configure:71581: Network: yes
configure:71583: Libvirtd: yes
configure:71585: Interface: no
configure:71587: macvtap: no
configure:71589: virtport: no
If there were a yum repository where I could download the daemon and the
drives, that'd be great? Any advice would be appreciated.
Regards,
Shiva

You didn't tell us what distro you are using. There's plenty of rpms,
but without that detail, we can't tell you which ones to use.

In the Fedora distro, the daemon is already part of the main Fedora
repository. You can also use the fedora-virt-preview repo to use the
latest virt stack while still sticking to a stable release (ie. right
now, that provides rawhide's libvirt 1.1.3 on top of Fedora 19, instead
of being stuck at 1.0.5).

If you are using something like RHEL, then contact your vendor. If you
are using something like CentOS, then you get to enjoy the consequences
of a distro with no formal support.

Hi Eric,
I'm trying to install the drivers on XenServer 6.0.2 and on Centos 5.2/6.4.
I downloaded libvirt 1.1.3. So, if I try to configure w/ xen and libxl,
the configure script errors out saying -
configure: error: You must install the libxl Library from Xen >= 4.2 to
compile libxenlight driver with -lxl
btw, I am trying to compile this on XenServer6.0.2 itself, and plan to use
virsh on the Centos 5.2/6.4 running on it.
Any guidance you could provide, on how to go about this?
Regards,
Shiva

Unfortunately, this list deals more with upstream usage than downstream
distros; and your particular choice of Centos implies that you are
willing to do a bit of legwork yourself (you may want to consider paying
for a RHEL subscription if you need the help).
configure: error: You must install the libxl Library from Xen >=
4.2 to

I know that Fedora provides new enough xen packages; about all I can
suggest is copying the srpms for xen-devel from Fedora over to your
centos machine to see if you can get an appropriate environment before
attempting to compile libvirt. But I personally don't run on centos, so
I have no idea what you will be able to cobble together.
