Therefore esx+ssh:// doesn't work. The ESX driver uses the HTTP(S) based vSphere API of the ESX server. The correct virsh call looks like this virsh -c esx://root@<fully qualified hostname> If you did not replace the default self-signed SSL certificate on the ESX server with you own certificate then this call will fail with a certificate verification error. You can tell the ESX driver to not verify the SSL certificate using virsh -c esx://root@<fully qualified hostname>/?no_verify=1 > I can access my server using ssh. I am running it from Ubuntu 10.04 and the > libvirt version 0.7.5. Can someone help me? Do you used the Ubuntu provided libvirt package? That won't work, because Ubuntu/Debian ship libvirt packages without ESX support. In that case you'll need to build libvirt from source to get ESX support. -- Matthias Bolte http://photron.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ libvirt-users mailing list libvirt-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvirt-users
