[libvirt-users] Host does not support virtualization type 'xen'

[Alex Jia]

Hi Su,
Could you attach your virt-install log file as a attachment?
for example, log file is put in $HOME/.virtinst/virt-install.log.
or using virt-install with -d option then paste debugger info
in here.

Regards & Thanks,
Alex

Good. The next step is determining which hypervisor you are connecting 
to by default: 

virsh uri 

If that isn't right (for example, if it returns qemu:///system), then 
you need to modify how you are calling virt-install to pass an explicit 
URI (or set LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI in your environment). Try 'virt-install 
-c xen:///' to force libvirt to talk to the xen hypervisor. 
http://libvirt.org/uri.html gives more details on setting a URI.

The issue hasn't been eliminated. Here is the running script: 

[root at XenTester su]# virt-install -p -c xen:/// 
ERROR Host does not support virtualization type 'xen' 
[root at XenTester su]# virsh uri 
xen:/// 

[root at XenTester su]# 

Any other possibilities?
