I must be missing something here so I don't need to install anything but using esx requires what looks like TLS configured along with libvirtd running on ESX.
When I do esx:// I get the following: 14:07:44.736: debug : virConnectOpenAuth:1355 : name=esx://test?no_verify=1, auth=0x7f4512a6e5a0, flags=0 14:07:44.736: debug : do_open:1110 : name "esx://test?no_verify=1" to URI components: scheme esx opaque (null) authority (null) server test user (null) port 0 path ?no_verify=1 14:07:44.736: debug : do_open:1120 : trying driver 0 (Test) ... 14:07:44.736: debug : do_open:1126 : driver 0 Test returned DECLINED 14:07:44.736: debug : do_open:1120 : trying driver 1 (OPENVZ) ... 14:07:44.736: debug : do_open:1126 : driver 1 OPENVZ returned DECLINED 14:07:44.736: debug : do_open:1120 : trying driver 2 (VBOX) ... 14:07:44.736: debug : do_open:1126 : driver 2 VBOX returned DECLINED 14:07:44.736: debug : do_open:1120 : trying driver 3 (remote) ... 14:07:44.736: debug : doRemoteOpen:564 : proceeding with name = esx://%3Fno_verify=1 14:07:44.737: debug : initialise_gnutls:1143 : loading CA file /apps/etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem 14:07:44.737: debug : initialise_gnutls:1156 : loading client cert and key from files /apps/etc/pki/libvirt/clientcert.pem and /apps/etc/pki/libvirt/private/clientkey.pem 14:07:44.739: error : doRemoteOpen:644 : unable to connect to* libvirtd* at 'test': Connection refused 14:07:44.739: debug : do_open:1126 : driver 3 remote returned ERROR 14:07:44.739: debug : virUnrefConnect:259 : unref connection 0x1f3bd10 1 14:07:44.739: debug : virReleaseConnect:216 : release connection 0x1f3bd10 -Jon On Thu, Mar 4, 2010 at 1:54 PM, Matthias Bolte < matthias.bo...@googlemail.com> wrote: > Ah, don't use esx+ssh://, just use esx:// > > The scheme format <driver>+<transport>:// implies that you want to use > the libvirt remote mechanisms via the libvirt daemon (libvirtd) or the > server side, but the ESX driver doesn't use this.
