libvirt users - Sep 2013 - Re: (Xen + libvirt) Installing and workin with xen -4.2.1 and libvirt 1.1.2

hi

i want to install libvirt-1.1.2 in xen -4.2.1.

i installed int he following manner:

1. downloaded source from libvirt/org (libvirt-1.1.2)
2. untarred & run ./configure --with-xen=yes --with-libxl=yes
3. then make and make install.

i also enabled the (xend-unix-server yes) in xend config file.

i run  libvirtd -v and getting the followning error:

root@boss[libexec]#libvirtd -v
2013-09-27 07:24:46.501+0000: 29517: info : libvirt version: 1.1.2
2013-09-27 07:24:46.501+0000: 29517: error : libxlCapsInitHost:86 :

2013-09-27 07:24:46.501+0000: 29517: error : libxlStateInitialize:1362 :

2013-09-27 07:24:46.502+0000: 29517: error : daemonRunStateInit:909 :

If i missed anything in the installation plz correct me.

and guide me to solve this error.

So, it appears it is this piece of code that is failing, in
src/libxl/libxl_conf.c:

static int
libxlCapsInitHost(libxl_ctx *ctx, virCapsPtr caps)
{
    libxl_physinfo phy_info;
    int host_pae;

    if (libxl_get_physinfo(ctx, &phy_info) != 0) {
        virReportError(VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR, "%s",
                       _("Failed to get node physical info from
libxenlight"));
        return -1;
    }

    ...
}

Weird... I'm sorry I have to run now... Jim, any clue?

I'll try to investigate more on Monday.

Meanwhile, can we see the output of the following commands (with or
without libvirtd running, that shouldn't matter).

~# xl info -n
~# xl list -n
~# xl vcpu-list

Thanks and Regards,
Dario

hi,

thanks for your response.

i cleaned that above one and installed in this following steps:

* sudo apt-get install gcc make pkg-config libxml2-dev libgnutils-dev
libdevmapper-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev python-dev libpciaccess-dev libxen-dev
libnl-dev

* ./configure = --prefix=/usr --localstatedir=/var --sysconfdir=/etc
--with-xen=yes --with-libxl=yes

* make

* make install

now i am getting the same error as mentioned in the previous mail.

The output of the above mentioned commands are:

Do commands like "xl list" and "xl info" work?
