Hi, I'm interested in using libvirt to communicate with Microsoft's Hyper-V. I'm trying to use virsh, but with no success. I have a machine that runs Windows Server Developer Preview with Hyper-V on it, ip x.x.x.x I set the service Basic and AlloUnencrypted properties on this machine to true, as required I also have a Linux machine x.x.y.y, with libvirt installed. This is what I get: virsh -c hyperv://x.x.x.x/?transport=http error: Cannot read CA certificate '/etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem': No such file or directory error: failed to connect to the hypervisor My questions are: 1. As I understand, if my hypervisor was on Linux, there's a daemon "libvirtd" that should be installed on it. Is there an equivalent service for Windows? I installed this thing on the Hyper-V machine: http://libvirt.org/sources/win32_experimental/Libvirt-0.8.8-0.exe, but am not sure about its purpose. 2. Why do I get an error about certificate, when I specified the transport to be http? Thanks, Vadim -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The libvirt on your Linux machine will directly talk to the Hyper-V management API on the Hyper-V server.> 2.????? Why do I get an error about certificate, when I specified the > transport to be http?That error message gives you the wrong impression. Your problem is probably that your libvirt version on the Linux machine is too old and doesn't have support for Hyper-V yet. Basic Hyper-V support was added in libvirt version 0.9.5. -- Matthias Bolte http://photron.blogspot.com
