hi,:
I am a new user of libvirt ,I asked a question about using libvirt to connect
to esxi server. I got the answer is
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-February/msg00860.html
So,I try to make the change on the mailing list you just added.
- * Add a dummy expect header to stop CURL from waiting for a response
code
+ * Add an empty expect header to stop CURL from waiting for a response
code
- curl->headers = curl_slist_append(curl->headers, "Expect:
nothing");
+ curl->headers = curl_slist_append(curl->headers,
"Expect:");
and I did the follow steps in my computer:
1../configure --with-esx
2.make
3.make install
4../autogen.sh --prefix=$HOME/usr
5.make
6.make install
I complete installing the libvirt and run the command :virsh --version ,get
the right answer 0.9.7
and I run the command :virsh -c esx://me at exampe.com/?tansport=http
the error before I mentioned related to http did disappeared ,but
and I still get a error like:error: internal error XPath evaluation of response
for call to 'RetrieveServiceContent' failed
I don't understand what does this error mean,or is my steps wrong ?so I
hope you can help me to figure out the promble. thanks a lot and so sorry for
trouble you too much .waiting for you reply on line.
ps: I have another question about libvirt , I saw this :%if %{with_esx}%if
0%{?fedora} >= 9 || 0%{?rhel} >= 6 in /libvirt0.9.7/livirt.spec,I want to
know if libvirt esx driver only can be useful on fedora>=9||rhel>=6,and
the other OS like centos 6.0 or redhat ,will disable the use of esx driver of
libvirt.
thanks again.
best regards!

HTTP error code 417 is related to the Expect header. The error
indicates that the server or a proxy in between doesn't handle the
Expect header. I assume that the ESXi sever itself is not the problem,
because it works for me here. Maybe there is a HTTP proxy between your
computer and the ESXi server that returns this 417 error code.
This problem is probably related to libvirt sending a dummy Expect
header instead of sending no Expect at all.
If you're building libvirt from source you can try this patch that I
just send to the mailing list for review
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-February/msg00860.html
It fixes the Expect header problem and might fix your connection problem.

That is, Fedora will default to ESX support on, and RHEL 5 defaults to ESX off while RHEL 6 defaults to ESX on. But those are defaults, and you can override them if you are rebuilding the RPM yourself; furthermore, if you are building from the tarball via a direct configure rather than trying to rebuild an RPM, then the contents of the spec file don't matter (since they only affect an RPM build). -- Eric Blake eblake at redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

You could provide more information by applying the attached patch to your libvirt source code and recompile it. The patch enables complete HTTP traffic logging. It makes libvirt output all its communication with the ESXi server to the log. Then run this command LIBVIRT_DEBUG=1 LIBVIRT_LOG_OUTPUTS=1:file:esx_traffic.log virsh -c esx://example.com/?transport=http It'll output the debug information to a file named esx_traffic.log in the current directory. If you mail me this log file I might be able to figure out what the problem is. Be aware that this log will contain your ESXi hostname, username and password in clear text, so you might want to remove this information from the log file before mailing it to the list.> ps: I have another question about libvirt , I saw this :%if %{with_esx}%if > 0%{?fedora} >= 9 || 0%{?rhel} >= 6 in /libvirt0.9.7/livirt.spec,I want to > know if libvirt esx driver only can be useful on fedora>=9||rhel>=6,and the > other OS like centos 6.0 or redhat ,will disable the use of esx driver of > libvirt.As Eric explained this is basically a policy decision and is not related to any problems with the ESX driver on older Fedora or RHEL version. I think your specific problem is in your specific network and/or ESXi server setup and the traffic log might allow to reveal and fix it.
