The purpose of the connection is to obtain host related information (like network, devices etc). I am not sure what is it that rejects the connect at the server side, and what i am missing. I am running lib0.7.5, i have libvirtd running on guest-vm. The host ESX has the ip address a.b.c.d. <o:p> </o:p> Any thoughts?<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p>Below the error with some debug output from libvirt.</o:p> <o:p></o:p> root > virsh -c esx://a.b.c.d/system<o:p></o:p> <o:p> ......................</o:p> 17:06:16.065: debug : virConnectOpenAuth:1337 : name=esx://10.59.56.109/system, auth=0xb80ac638, flags=0<o:p></o:p> 17:06:16.065: debug : do_open:1106 : name "esx://10.59.56.109/system" to URI components:<o:p></o:p> scheme esx<o:p></o:p> opaque (null)<o:p></o:p> authority (null)<o:p></o:p> server 10.59.56.109<o:p></o:p> user (null)<o:p></o:p> port 0<o:p></o:p> path /system<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> 17:06:16.065: debug : do_open:1116 : trying driver 0 (Test) ...<o:p></o:p> 17:06:16.066: debug : do_open:1122 : driver 0 Test returned DECLINED<o:p></o:p> 17:06:16.066: debug : do_open:1116 : trying driver 1 (Xen) ...<o:p></o:p> 17:06:16.066: debug : do_open:1122 : driver 1 Xen returned DECLINED<o:p></o:p> 17:06:16.066: debug : do_open:1116 : trying driver 2 (OPENVZ) ...<o:p></o:p> 17:06:16.066: debug : do_open:1122 : driver 2 OPENVZ returned DECLINED<o:p></o:p> 17:06:16.066: debug : do_open:1116 : trying driver 3 (VBOX) ...<o:p></o:p> 17:06:16.066: debug : do_open:1122 : driver 3 VBOX returned DECLINED<o:p></o:p> 17:06:16.066: debug : do_open:1116 : trying driver 4 (remote) ...<o:p></o:p> 17:06:16.067: debug : doRemoteOpen:564 : proceeding with name = esx:///system<o:p></o:p> 17:06:16.069: debug : initialise_gnutls:1145 : loading CA file /etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem<o:p></o:p> 17:06:16.070: debug : initialise_gnutls:1158 : loading client cert and key from files /etc/pki/libvirt/clientcert.pem and /etc/pki/libvirt/private/clientkey.pem<o:p></o:p> 17:06:16.074: debug : do_open:1122 : driver 4 remote returned ERROR<o:p></o:p> 17:06:16.074: debug : virUnrefConnect:259 : unref connection 0x903e078 1<o:p></o:p> 17:06:16.074: debug : virReleaseConnect:216 : release connection 0x903e078<o:p></o:p> error: unable to connect to libvirtd at a.b.c.d': Connection refused<o:p></o:p> error: failed to connect to the hypervisor<o:p></o:p> I tried to use uri like: esx://a.b.c.d/, esx://a.b.c.d, esxi://a.b.c.d/system etc. They all give same issue.
