libvirt users - Apr 2010 - Windows Vista Client Fails to Connect to Ubuntu libvirtd

Requesting urgent assistance if I may?

 

Attempting to connect to an Ubuntu machine using an MinMG compiled virsh on
a Windows Vista machine.  Using insecure TCP simply to prove a concept to a
client.  However, cannot connect; situation as follows:

 

Edited /etc/libvirt/libvirt.conf as follows:

listen_tcp = 1

auth_tcp = "none"

 

Edited /etc/default//libvirt-bin as follows:

libvirt-opts="-d -l"

 

Running virsh on Vista client fails as follows:

$ virsh -c qemu+tcp://192.168.1.101/system

error: unable to connect to libvirtd at '192.168.1.101': errno=10061

error: failed to connect to the hypervisor

 

Running virsh on Ubuntu server fails as follows:

$ virsh -c qemu+tcp:///system

Connecting to uri: qemu+tcp:///system

error: unable to connect to libvirtd at 'localhost': Connection refused

error: failed to connect to the hypervisor

 

Indeed, with libvirt-opts="-d -l" in etc/default//libvirt-bin the
'default'
command also fails:

$ virsh -c qemu:///system

Connecting to uri: qemu:///system

error: unable to connect to 'var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock': Connection
refused

error: failed to connect to the hypervisor

 

Suggestions very welcome...

Did you restart libvirtd after the changes and checked that it's
started successfully?

listen_tls defaults to 1 in /etc/libvirt/libvirt.conf, in combination
with the -l flag (short for --listen) libvirtd requires properly
configured SSL certificates. If libvirtd can't find the certificates
or fails to validate them then it won't start up.

You can disable TLS in /etc/libvirt/libvirt.conf by setting listen_tls
= 0 and restart libvirtd.

Once libvirtd is running and configured properly for TCP transport
then remote and local TCP access to libvirtd works for me.

Local access to libvirtd using qemu:///system requires properly
configured polkit, or running virsh as root. This is independent from
the -d and -l flags.
