Hi Su, Could you attach your virt-install log file as a attachment? for example, log file is put in $HOME/.virtinst/virt-install.log. or using virt-install with -d option then paste debugger info in here.

The next step is determining which hypervisor you are connecting to by default: virsh uri If that isn't right (for example, if it returns qemu:///system), then you need to modify how you are calling virt-install to pass an explicit URI (or set LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI in your environment). Try 'virt-install -c xen:///' to force libvirt to talk to the xen hypervisor. http://libvirt.org/uri.html gives more details on setting a URI. -- Eric Blake eblake@xxxxxxxxxx +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org The issue hasn't been eliminated. Here is the running script: [root@XenTester su]# virt-install -p -c xen:/// ERROR Host does not support virtualization type 'xen' [root@XenTester su]# virsh uri xen:/// [root@XenTester su]# Any other possibilities? -- Su Zhang Ph.D Candidate Computing and Information Sciences Kansas State University _______________________________________________ libvirt-users mailing list libvirt-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvirt-users
