<p class=MsoNormal>Having newly compiled a Libvirt on a Windows Vista machine (many
thanks to Matthias Bolte) I have attempted to connect to a remote Ubuntu
machine using virsh.exe. However, the connection fails as follows:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>$ virsh -c qemu+tcp:///system<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>error: unable to connect to libvirtd at 'localhost':
errno=10061<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>error: failed to connect to the hypervisor<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>1. I have modified /etc/libvirt/libvirt.conf to set listen_tcp=1.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>2. I cannot find /etc/sysconfig/libvirtd so I am
unable to set LIBVIRTD_ARGS="--listen".<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>As stated on a previous post, my background is Windows rather
than Linux, so I am at a loss as to know where to look next. I would very
much appreciate some guidance. Many thanks in anticipation...<o:p></o:p></p>
