Hi all,
I'm using libvirt with qemu-kvm and virtualbox on the same system.
Everything is working, but I want to change the default uri fo virsh.
At the moment, if i run:
# virsh uri
vbox:///system
and because of this, if I try to list my vm(s) in this way:
# virsh list --all
Id Name State
----------------------------------
the output is empty. I need always to pass the uri:
# virsh -c qemu:///system list --all
Id Name State
----------------------------------
- ubuntu-vm shut off
So, is there a way to set the default uri to be qemu:///system? I looked
into /etc/default/libvirt-guests and /etc/default/libvirt-bin but I was
not able to find an options (setting URIS= does not work).
I'm on Debian Squeeze with backports.
Thanks a lot,

Set the following env
export LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI=qemu:///system
We support a config home $HOME/.libvirt/libvirt.conf for setting up
URI aliases, but we don't currently support setting the defautl URI
via the config file. If you file a BZ, we can easily fix that
omission

Daniel

Thank you Daniel, it works. What I don't understand is who originally
set the URI default value. My Installation step where first installing
virtualbox and then libvirt with qemu-kvm. It was some apt-get post
script that read from the system the virtualbox installation and then
sets the executable?
The point is: where does this value stored? Is it hardcoded somewhere?
Thanks a lot,

No, libvirt just probes each of its hypervisor drivers in turn, until
it finds out that claims to work

Ok, but even if I stop the virtualbox service (even with all processes
and modules unloaded) libvirt find it first. Is it correct?
