I'm working on getting QEMU running with libvirt and virt-manager and have thus far had no success. I chose QEMU because it didn't require CPU support for full-virtualization (I got a bit older CPUs). Now I'm at a stand-still trying to get it running. My libvirt is compiled with QEMU support, but I'm getting a "virConnectOpenReadOnly() failed error when it tries to connect the the hypervisor. A couple questions: 1) How do I start qemu as a service? I actually have 6 guests running. 2) How do I connect from libvirt to qemu? (either running or not). Could someone who's already been there give me a little libvirt/qemu tutorial? Thanks, smoyer -- Steven W.
