Hi Seenu,

Which version of libvirt are you using?

cimtest is attempting to setup a virtual network for all of the guests 
to use while the suite runs.

Are you running cimtest as root?  Also, if you run cimtest with the -d 
option, do you see any additional debug?

One thing to try is to make sure you can define and start a network pool 
using virsh.  You can do the following:

   sudo virsh net-start default

This will start the existing network you have.  This should succeed 
without any errors.

If that works, you can put the following XML in a file:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<network>
  <name>cimtest-networkpool</name>
  <forward/>
  <bridge forwardDelay="0" name="testbridge" stp="on"/>
  <ip address="192.168.122.1" netmask="255.255.255.0">
   <dhcp>
    <range end="192.168.122.254" start="192.168.122.2"/>
   </dhcp>
  </ip>
</network>

Then call the following commands:

   sudo virsh net-create filename

If this is successful, you can destroy the network pool using:

   sudo virsh net-destroy cimtest-networkpool

If all of this works for you, you can try running cimtest again.  Let us 
know if you hit any errors.
