I'm setting up for libvirt remote access on a xend host.
On the host,
xl info | egrep "release|xen_version"
release : 5.6.10-24.gde48f93-default
xen_version : 4.13.0_12-lp151.700
systemctl --version
systemd 234
I've installed
rpm -qa libvirt-daemon-xen
libvirt-daemon-xen-6.2.0-lp151.890.1.x86_64
libvirtd --version
libvirtd (libvirt) 6.2.0
virsh --version
6.2.0
Per
https://libvirt.org/daemons.html
I've setup for use of modular daemons with systemd sockets, rather than
monolithic libvirtd
systemctl list-units | egrep " virt"

On the server, TLS certs are in place
openssl version
OpenSSL 1.1.1g 21 Apr 2020
cat /etc/libvirt/libvirt.conf
ca_file = "/sec/ssl/CA/CA.CHAIN.crt.pem"
cert_file = "/sec/ssl/libvirt/client.EC.crt.pem"

On attempt to first _locally_ connect,
virsh -c test:///default list sysinfo
Id Name State

1 test running
virsh -c test:///default sysinfo
<sysinfo type='smbios'>

<entry name='date'>05/07/2014</entry>

</bios>
</sysinfo>
but
virsh -c xen:///system?socket=/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
error: internal error: Unexpected driver type 'Xen' opened
What's missing/incorrect in my config, causing the "Unexpected driver" error,
and preventing the connect to local hypervisor?
