Hi,

I have used this

and everything works like a charm then I installed a VM using

only to realize later that I don't want NAT.

I would want to use PCI passthrough and so i used

virsh net-destroy default

virsh net-undefine default

and

net-create /home/kartik/passthrough.xml

net-autostart passthrough

net-start passthrough

here is the output of /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/passthrough.xml

<!--

<network>

<name>passthrough</name>

<forward mode='hostdev' managed='yes'>

<pf dev='eth0'/>

</forward>

</network>

Is my approach right? After this I tried to restart using s

shutdown –r now( but the machine is not rebooting)

Welcome to virsh, the virtualization interactive terminal.

Type: 'help' for help with commands

'quit' to quit

virsh #

virsh # list --all

error: Failed to reconnect to the hypervisor

error: no valid connection

error: unable to connect to 'localhost:8000': Connection refused

Can anyone help?
