Re: [libvirt] Libvirt Xen daemon interaction in Red Hat Enterprise with virtualization

Thanks Mr. Berrange & Mr.Veillard for your replies,

I was trying to connect to Xend directly without going through libvirt so was curious to know changes that have been made by Red Hat on the Xen Daemon end to support libvirt.

I read the source code of libvirt last night and figured out there is a function xenDaemonOpen() is being used to do the work I was looking for and there is no password checking being done. I will try to figure out stuff about SEXPR RPC to get my stuff working.

I am sorry for the multiple post thing, it happened because I had posted the first email from a different email address which was not registered on the list serv.

Thanks again
Vaibhav

Urm, there is no 'login' process with the SEXPR RPC mechanism libvirt
uses, so I'm not exactly sure what's failing. Could you proivide the
actual error messages you get when using libvirt with Xen ?

libvirt does not use Xen-API. We use the SEXPR RPC mechanism. As such we
never call login_with_password()
