Xen users - Sep 2009 - virt-install error - failed to connect

Hi all,

I installed Xen 3.4.0 on RH5.3 from the source, It is working fine (Dom0),
but when i tried to create new guest (hvm) by the virt-install i got the
next message:

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 12:02:15 ERROR    virConnectOpen() failed
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/virt-install", line 560, in ?
    main()
  File "/usr/sbin/virt-install", line 348, in main
    conn = cli.getConnection(options.connect)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/virtinst/cli.py", line 92, in
getConnection
    return libvirt.open(connect)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 123, in
open
    if ret is None:raise libvirtError(''virConnectOpen()
failed'')
libvirtError: virConnectOpen() failed

the command-line i used was :

virt-install --name fedora9 --ram 512 --file=/sda8/test1.img  --file-size=3
-l /sda8/rhel-server-5.3-x86_64-dvd.iso -v

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Erez

what part did you install? hypervisor? tools? kernel? all?
How did you determine "it''s working fine"?

can you create HVM domUs manually using "xm create"? see examples on
/etc/xen/*

what happens when you use the latest version of virt-install? You can
get RPM version from http://www.gitco.de/repo/
