Alvin, Thanks for that. I disabled the xendomains service (I had to do it twice, as it seemed to re-enable itself after the first reboot) and it now starts libvirtd automatically on startup. However, all is not well! "xl list" and "virsh list" will just hang "systemctl stop libvirtd" just

Jim: Try systemctl disable xendomains.service It is conflicting with libvirtd.service. I found it by using "systemd-analyze dot libvirtd.service | dot -Tgif > /tmp/dot1.gif" On 07/26/2017 10:19 AM, Jim Fehlig wrote: On 07/26/2017 04:46 AM, G Crowe wrote: Jim, Thanks for that, I had

[off topic] One day someone had the idea to test a disaster scenario and plugged the power supply on the server that guarded the security doors. All went quite well until that someone wanted to enter the server room to power on that server again. At this moment he noticed that the doors would no

libvirtd is not started by systemd on my f25 laptop so this may not be xen related. On 07/26/2017 10:19 AM, Jim Fehlig wrote: On 07/26/2017 04:46 AM, G Crowe wrote: Jim, Thanks for that, I had manually installed libvirt-daemon-driver-xen, but also needed to install

I believe this problem also exists in F25. There are upsides to having a vm do the networking and I have used that scheme for something like a decade. The point is that libvirt should start up and start its VM's correctly. If you cannot depend on the system starting correctly then very

Note that this does not help with the original problem but points out a critical design flaw. To me your it infrastructure design has no working disaster recovery plan. You should always be able to access critical functionality and from there be able to restore complete functionality step by
