Hi all,
Since I upgraded my box to Fedora 16, I couldn't just start my virtual machines
with "virsh start name_of_vm", since the vm was not found (while libvirtd runs
fine). I use virt-manager, in which I had setup the connection correctly
(qemu:///system).
By investigating a bit further, I found this in the man page of virsh :
-------------------
connect URI [--readonly]
(Re)-Connect to the hypervisor. When the shell is first started,
this is automatically run with the URI parameter
requested by the "-c" option on the command line. The URI parameter
specifies how to connect to the hypervisor. The
documentation page at <http://libvirt.org/uri.html> list the values
supported, but the most common are:
xen:///
this is used to connect to the local Xen hypervisor, this is the
default
qemu:///system
connect locally as root to the daemon supervising QEmu and KVM
domains
qemu:///session
connect locally as a normal user to his own set of QEmu and KVM
domains
lxc:///
connect to a local linux container
For remote access see the documentation page on how to make URIs.
The --readonly option allows for read-only
connection
-------------------
Is this expected that xen:/// has become the default??? I don't really use it,
and I think virsh default has always been qemu:///system (at least for the root
user).
If so, is there an easy way to change this : I don't want to type "virsh -c
qemu:///system start MY_VM" everytime I want to start one VM, or "virsh -c
qemu:///system list" when I just want to see which vm is online...
Thanks for your help and your information regarding this new (?) default setup.
Frederic.
