Hello.
I want to use libvirt for toolstack of Xen (not XenServer) to set up
Openstack system but,
I'm new to libvirt so, I had some troubles on installing libvirt.
I downloaded the source code, build and installed it, following here (
https://libvirt.org/compiling.html).
However, when I type a command (# virsh 'xen:///system' list) to check if
libvirt has been installed successfully,
I can see an error message:
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
error: internal error: libxenlight state driver is not active
Of course, I confirmed that Xen was working well:
root@node1:/home/nickeys# xl list
Name ID Mem VCPUs
State
Time(s)
Domain-0 0 95656 32 r-----
5888.0
And I'm wondering why 'Using API' below is QEMU. How can I change that to
Xen ?
root@node1: /home/nickeys# virsh version
Compiled against library: libvirt 4.9.0
Using library: libvirt 4.9.0
Using API: QEMU 4.9.0
Running hypervisor: QEMU 2.11.1
I'm using libvirt 4.9, Xen 4.12 (the current latest) and Linux
kernel 4.16.1.
I want to know how to make the 'libxenlight state driver' active.
Please let me know where I should check first to fix this wrong state, or
any tip is also okay.
Thanks.

It sounds like the libvirt libxl driver failed to load. Are there any related
messages from libvirtd in your syslog or hints in
/var/log/libvirt/libxl/libxl-driver.log?

Thanks for your answer, Jim.
I check the log file you mentioned, but it was empty.
So, I lost my way how to, where to access this problem.
And, by chance, I checked the status of 'libvirtd':

Thanks for your answer, Jim.
I check the log file you mentioned, but it was empty.
Hmm, are you sure you built the libxl driver when configuring/building libvirt?
Did you explicitly specify it when invoking './configure'? E.g. './configure
--with-libxl ...'?
If not explicitly specified the default is to check for xen build requirements.
Do you have the xen development package (e.g. xen-devel) installed? You can
check the summary of the configure output (should also be in your config.log) to
see if building the libxl driver is enabled. You should see 'libxl: yes' under
the Drivers section of the configuration summary.

The missing 'tss' user and group is actually not a problem. In fact, Martin
committed a patch to squelch those errors

Does the libvirt you're building include that patch?

Martin

Thanks for your advise.
I found the solution. Cause of the problem was additional install of
libvirt-bin by apt.
I'm not sure what was wrong. But when I set up libvirt on an other server,
there was no problem.
So I guess the additional install might be main reason.
I removed the package and built libvirt source code again. And finally, I
could see it was working well.
And as you mentioned, the other bug about user 'tss' was not critical
problem. That's why I'm just using the libvirt which does not include the
patch.
Thank you so much, Jim
