On amd64, it has XEN option available which adds Xen support through libxl. However, it's not enabled by default (therefore if you're installing libvirt from an official repo, it won't be enabled), so you'll have to build your own version with this option enabled. IIRC, virt-manager supports Xen by default and does not need any additional configuration. > > > -- > > > / . Eric A.

I haven't looked into building virt-manager with Xen support myself, there's definitely Xen support in virt-manager that uses libxl IIRC, but that's not enabled by the virt-manager port. Would you be willing to look into enabling Xen support for the virt-manager port?

using virsh and virt-manager for XEN on FreeBSD
Hi All And one more: root@bianca # virsh -V Virsh command line tool of libvirt 4.10.0 See web site at https://libvirt.org/ Compiled with support for: Hypervisors: VMware PHYP VirtualBox ESX Bhyve Test Networking: Remote Network Bridging Storage: Dir ZFS Miscellaneous: Daemon Secrets Debug Readline root@bianca # virsh -c xen:///system error: failed to connect to the hypervisor error: no connection driver available for xen:///system Based on this output, I'm assuming that virsh (and virt-manager, too) wasn't compiled with XEN support on FreeBSD. However, this page (from 2015): https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/libvirt-libxl-on-freebsd.51862/ Would seem to suggest that it should work. Should I just stop trying and compile my own virsh and virt-manager? Sorry, this seems like a stupid question again. Eric -- / . Eric A.
