[libvirt-users] Installing tcp/ssh drivers for libvirt
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). http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Virtualization_Preview_Repository 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. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
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 On Tue, Oct 29, 2013 at 1:09 PM, Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> wrote:

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).

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. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
