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

[Su Zhang]

Thanks for your reply. Yet it seems that it does support Xen based on the
running script:

virsh --version=long
Virsh command line tool of libvirt 0.9.10
See web site at http://libvirt.org/

Compiled with support for:
 Hypervisors: Xen QEmu/KVM UML OpenVZ VirtualBox LXC Test
 Networking: Remote Daemon Network Bridging Nwfilter VirtualPort
 Storage: Dir Filesystem SCSI Multipath iSCSI LVM
 Miscellaneous: SELinux Secrets Debug


Do you think the output is normal? Or are there any other possible reasons
for this error?


Thanks,
