Hi,
i am having problems with virsh utility. I have installed 3 KVM virtual OS-es on top of CentOS 5.3 i386 (with kernel 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5.centos.plus from 5.2, necessary on AMD/ATI MB I have). I have compiled KVM modules from lfarkash-es sorce rpm's and libvirt and managers are recompiled from Fedoras repositories.
Problem is following:
Guests are installed with virt-manager and whenever I start him I can start and login to guest. on virt-manager's GUI says it connects to "qemu:///system" on localhost.
when I try to use virsh with:
[drlove@vmaster ~]$ virsh --connect qemu:///system error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
same is with root user.
It seams I have leftovers from few versions (just find out), I will see to they I reinstalled:
[root@vmaster ~]# rpm -qa *kvm* kvm-tools-83-5 etherboot-roms-kvm-5.4.4-8 kvm-kmod-debuginfo-83-1 kmod-kvm-83-1 kvm-83-5 kmod-kvm-84-1.el5 [root@vmaster ~]#
, but since virt-manager is working this should not cause this problem.
I saw this: http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Running_libvirt_with_KVM
where it says to create symlink for /usr/bin/kvm but they point to X86_64 file and I have i386 kernel.
I hope someone can help me. Any output you need, just say, i am experienced with linux.
