Usage of virsh commands on guest lxc container are failing

[Yuva Raj]

Hi Team,

I am new to the Qemu/KVM, libvirt and these technologies.
Hypervisor is running on linux kernel with libvirtd version 1.3.2.
I am trying to spawn LXC ubuntu(21.04) container using virsh -c lxc://
commands on the hypervisor and ubuntu container is running now.
On the ubuntu 21.04 container, I have installed debian "libvirt-clients"
package to use the virsh utility.

Updated the /etc/libvirt/libvirt.conf with to the hypervisor Qemu URI.
When I run virsh commands without URI, observing below error
root at host:~# virsh list
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
error: Failed to connect socket to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock': No such
file or directory

root at host:~# virsh -c <Qemu URI> list
 Id   Name      State
-------------------------
2      VM        running

If I execute the virsh commands without "-c" option, then ubuntu 21.04
container would display the VM's running as same as hypervisor.
Could you please help to manage this on the LXC ubuntu container?
