Hi all. I recently compiled xen 4.1.3 on Fedora 17(64 bit). The xen entry appears in the grub. Inspite of booting Fedora, with xen hypervisor entry , when I start virt-manager, I get an error " Internal Error : libxenlight state driver is not active " Can anyone help me on this? -- Rohit S Damkondwar B.Tech Computer Engineering CoEP MyBlog <http://www.rohitsdamkondwar.wordpress.com> _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xen.org http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel

I wouldn''t recommend using xl/libxl (libxenlight) in Xen 4.1.x, it was a tech preview there, and it''s more mature in Xen 4.2.x+ -- Pasi

Assuming both drivers are included in your libvirt installation, libvirtd will load the legacy driver if xend is running, otherwise load the libxl driver. Changing the configured xen toolstack requires a libvirtd restart.> I wouldn''t recommend using xl/libxl (libxenlight) in Xen 4.1.x, it was a tech preview there, > and it''s more mature in Xen 4.2.x+ >Agreed. You will need libvirt >= 1.0.1 to work with Xen 4.2.x libxl. And recall that the libxl driver is missing some functionality wrt the legacy xend driver, e.g. migration. Regards, Jim
Problem solved. xend was not started. Also there was some configuration errors in xend-config. The main problem was inability of virt-manager to connect to xen hypervisor. Now it connects somehow.
