Hi all, I''m using Alpine Linux 2.5.0 with Xen 4.2.0 and Libvirt 1.0.0 I''m using the xl toolstack. I would like to extend a libvirt-module for Ansible (ansible.cc) so that it can increase / decrease a VMs memory on the spot. Now, while testing the basics it seems libvirt can''t get it right: waxh0002:/var/log# virsh --connect xen:/// list error: unable to connect to ''localhost:8000'': Connection refused error: failed to connect to the hypervisor waxh0002:/var/log# From what I read about the xl support patch to libvirt, it should "autodetect" that i''m using xl if Xend is not running (and it is not running). Also the patch is supposed to be in upstream, thus in the version I am using here. (Right?) Libvirtd is started and whatever. It would be cool if someone could verify this works for them *with* *xl* *toolstack*. Mail ends here since everything else I wrote was just rants. -- the purpose of libvirt is to provide an abstraction layer hiding all xen features added since 2006 until they were finally understood and copied by the kvm devs.

(Right?)AFAIK libvirt-1.0 used the "technology preview" version of xl as provided by xen-4.1, which is not compatible with the version now provided by xen-4.2. Either upgrade to the development version of libvirt, or downgrade Xen, or use Xend.

"and thats why we can''t have nice things" I''ll try to get help with bumping up the libvirt package in Alpine.
