...inst the libvirt library. But we would also need an actively developed version for Windows. The links I found on the website for Windows related builds are all pretty outdated and do not really work for me. * https://github.com/SPICE/virt-viewer Last commit 2 years ago * https://github.com/photron/msys_setup Last commit 5 years ago So before getting invested too much, I wanted to ask how is the situation with Windows builds? Is libvirt focused on linux only for now, or do I just need to look somewhat better? Maybe the cross compiling is working? (I didn't try that for now, because I wou...

Hi, I was trying to connect to ESX server using libvirt's virsh console but I am getting the following error: *virsh# connect esx://172.16.73.14* *Enter username for 172.16.73.14 [root]: root* *Enter root's password for 172.16.73.14:* *error: Failed to connect to the hypervisor* *error: internal error curl_easy_perform() returned an error: Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with

I want to create a virtual machine from scratch in ESX but I can't figure out how to create the disks - the vmdk files. Any hints on how that can be done or even if it's possible at all ? Thanks

Hi everyone, I searched previous postings and I couldn't find a definitive answer on this.. I run a small lab of RHEL/Centos Based servers on which there's VMWare Workstation running on a non-standard port but still manageable by tools like VMrun (and the Fusion of Workstation GUI, of course). I'm trying to use virsh with this setup and getting the following error from both

Hi, I was trying to add volume...I got one xml snippet and I modified it according to my node configuration: < volume> <name>testNode/cluster.vmdk </name> <allocation>0 </allocation> <capacity unit='G'>2<capacity> </volume> Now when I executed "virsh vol-create datastore1 /local/new_volume.xml" one error message came saying:

Hi Daniel, thanks for the reply - The procedure I use is the same as I use for XenServer, and the certificate exchange works just fine. The only thing I'm a bit unclear on, is the location of the CA cert, which in the case of XenServer, I simply put it in /etc/pki/CA. And when I start the libvirtd daemon, it successfully picks it up. If I put the Server key and cert in /etc/vmware/ssl for

You can get a list of the available datastores with the virsh command pool-list. -- Matthias Bolte http://photron.blogspot.com

Hi, Is libvirt supported on Citrix Xenserver. I have been searching for the same with little/no luck. If supported, can you point to some links/documents which can help me try out the same.

i've reported this issue before, so i guess this is a regression. looks like the python bindings for 0.9.3 are leaking file descriptors: root at cloud1:~# python Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Dec 26 2010, 22:31:48) [GCC 4.4.5] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import libvirt >>>

Hello everyone, We're currently working with using libvirt as an abstract API to make our dealings with other hypervisors far easier and faster, however, we have our own storage API that connects/disconnects and makes LUNs available over iSCSI with iSER. We would have loved to use a storage pool however our system implements a one target per LUN/VDI, therefore, we'd have to create a pool

Hi, I've been trying to use the ruby libvirt binding with vmware esx on F15, however it doesnt seems to work, I get: Libvirt::ConnectionError: Call to virConnectOpen failed: Cannot access CA certificate '/etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem': No such file or directory I've using the same uri with virsh and it works. it seems like somehow the no_verify is not passed, or we are back to old
