Re: VirtualBox + Virsh

    hi Peter,

    If it wasn't compiled with VBox support, it would not say this:

    Compiled with support for:

     Hypervisors: QEMU/KVM LXC UML Xen LibXL OpenVZ VMWare VirtualBox
    Test

    
    Furthermore, checking in the comments of the link, I find it is a
    duplicate of this one:
    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/1103721 Which
    clearly states that it is fixed and as in raring. I'm on trusty
    right now...

    
    Regards,

    Julian Zhou

                Hi

                  I am trying to add a virtualbox domain to my virsh
                  installation, I get:

                
                 error:

                  Failed to define domain from Ondria.xml >>https://gist.github.com/jztech101/5aeebb82412c1910dc1f <<
                  error: internal error: unexpected domain type vbox,
                  expecting one of these: qemu, kqemu, kvm, xen.

                
                 virsh

                  is compiled with VirtualBox support so I'm confused:

                
                Virsh

                  -V >> Virsh command line tool of libvirt 1.2.2

                See

                  web site at http://libvirt.org/

                
                Compiled

                  with support for:

                 Hypervisors:

                  QEMU/KVM LXC UML Xen LibXL OpenVZ VMWare VirtualBox
                  Test

                 Networking:

                  Remote Network Bridging Interface netcf Nwfilter
                  VirtualPort

                 Storage:

                  Sheepdog

                 Miscellaneous:

                  Daemon Nodedev AppArmor Secrets Debug Readline
                  Modular.

                  
                  After some insight, I decided to run it like this
                  instead: " virsh -c vbox:///session create Ondria.xml"

                  Now I get: 

                  
                  error: failed to connect to the hypervisor

                  error: internal error: unable to initialize VirtualBox
                  driver API

                  
                  So, after further insight, I ran "export
                  VBOX_APP_HOME=/usr/lib/virtualbox" and tried again.
                  Same error as above. (/usr/lib/virtualbox is where
                  VBoxCPCOMC.so lies and I'm told the reason for the
                  above error is it cannot find that file in any
                  "normal" location. Help? It should be noted I
                  installed VirtualBox-5.0 directly from the VBox Repo
                  for Ubuntu 14.04LTS

                  
            not sure if it help:   Ubuntu libvirt's driver for
              Virtualbox is disabled by default:

              
              https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/667076

              
            So...u may have do recompile it as follow:
