libvirt users - Feb 2017 - Libvirt and Virt-manager compatibility

Hi,
I am using Libvirt (1.2.2) on RHEL6. I want to use the compatible virt-manager
for it.
When I tried 1.4.0 and 1.3.0 there is an insatllation issue on RHLE6 for gtk3.
?Is there any virt-manager version which works with 1.2.2 and RHLE6 too.
Also what is the compatibility matrix for libvirt and virt-manager version.

Thanks & RegardsAbhishek

Call for Papers

Virtualization technologies constitute a key enabling factor for flexible
resource management

in modern data centers, and particularly in cloud environments. Cloud
providers need to

manage complex infrastructures in a seamless fashion to support the highly
dynamic and

heterogeneous workloads and hosted applications customers deploy.
Similarly, HPC

environments have been increasingly adopting techniques that enable
flexible management of

vast computing and networking resources, close to marginal provisioning
cost, which is

unprecedented in the history of scientific and commercial computing.

Various virtualization technologies contribute to the overall picture in
different ways: machine

virtualization, with its capability to enable consolidation of multiple
under?utilized servers with

heterogeneous software and operating systems (OSes), and its capability to
live?-migrate a

fully operating virtual machine (VM) with a very short downtime, enables
novel and dynamic

ways to manage physical servers; OS-?level virtualization (i.e.,
containerization), with its

capability to isolate multiple user?-space environments and to allow for
their co?existence within

the same OS kernel, promises to provide many of the advantages of machine
virtualization

with high levels of responsiveness and performance; I/O Virtualization
allows physical

NICs/HBAs to take traffic from multiple VMs or containers; network
virtualization, with its

capability to create logical network overlays that are independent of the
underlying physical

topology and IP addressing, provides the fundamental ground on top of which
evolved

network services can be realized with an unprecedented level of dynamicity
and flexibility; the

increasingly adopted paradigm of Software-?Defined Networking (SDN)
 promises to extend

this flexibility to the control and data planes of network paths.

Publication

Accepted papers will be published in a Springer LNCS proceedings volume.

Doesn't

# yum install virt-manager

install the right one? Looking into RHEL6 repo I see virt-manager-0.9.0
built for RHEL6. And after looking into virt-manager's repo I found this
commit 3c3237b9510 which reworked it into using gtk3. The commit is part
of 0.10.0 release. So I guess you're stuck with 0.9.0 on RHEL6.

The current releases of virt-manager all require GTK3 and thus RHEL6
is no longer a supported platform for running virt-manager.

You can, however, run virt-manager on a modern desktop (Fedora, or
RHEL-7) and have it connect to libvirt on a RHEL-6 host remotely.

Daniel

Thanks Michal.
Yes I am stuck with 0.9.0 virt-manager version.
Is this compatible with libvirt 1.2.2 release? From where I get such
compatibility matrix
