On the host, xl info | egrep "release|xen_version" release : 5.6.10-24.gde48f93-default xen_version : 4.13.0_12-lp151.700 systemctl --version systemd 234 I've installed rpm -qa libvirt-daemon-xen libvirt-daemon-xen-6.2.0-lp151.890.1.x86_64 libvirtd --version libvirtd (libvirt) 6.2.0 virsh --version 6.2.0 Per https://libvirt.org/daemons.html I've setup for use of modular daemons with systemd sockets, rather than monolithic libvirtd systemctl list-units | egrep " virt" virtxend.service loaded active running Virtualization xen daemon virtlockd.socket loaded active listening Virtual machine lock manager socket virtlogd.socket loaded active listening Virtual machine log manager socket virtnetworkd-admin.socket loaded active listening Libvirt network admin socket virtnetworkd-ro.socket loaded active listening Libvirt network local read-only socket virtnetworkd.socket loaded active listening Libvirt network local socket virtnodedevd-admin.socket loaded active listening Libvirt nodedev admin socket virtnodedevd-ro.socket loaded active listening Libvirt nodedev local read-only socket virtnodedevd.socket loaded active listening Libvirt nodedev local socket virtnwfilterd-admin.socket loaded active listening Libvirt nwfilter admin socket virtnwfilterd-ro.socket loaded active listening Libvirt nwfilter local read-only socket virtnwfilterd.socket loaded active listening Libvirt nwfilter local socket virtproxyd-admin.socket loaded active listening Libvirt proxy admin socket virtproxyd-ro.socket loaded active listening Libvirt proxy local read-only socket virtproxyd.socket loaded active listening Libvirt proxy local socket virtsecretd-admin.socket loaded active listening Libvirt secret admin socket virtsecretd-ro.socket loaded active listening Libvirt secret local read-only socket virtsecretd.socket loaded active listening Libvirt secret local socket virtstoraged-admin.socket loaded active listening Libvirt storage admin socket virtstoraged-ro.socket loaded active listening Libvirt storage local read-only socket virtstoraged.socket loaded active listening Libvirt storage local socket virtxend-admin.socket loaded active running Libvirt libxl admin socket virtxend-ro.socket loaded active running Libvirt libxl local read-only socket virtxend.socket loaded active running Libvirt libxl local socket /tree /run/libvirt/ /run/libvirt/ ├── hostdevmgr ├── libvirt-admin-sock ├── libvirt-sock ├── libvirt-sock-ro ├── libxl │ ├── autostarted │ ├── Domain-0.xml │ └── driver.pid ├── network │ ├── autostarted │ └── nwfilter.leases ├── nodedev ├── nwfilter ├── nwfilter-binding ├── qemu │ ├── autostarted │ └── slirp ├── secrets ├── storage │ └── autostarted ├── virtlockd-sock ├── virtlogd-sock ├── virtnetworkd-admin-sock ├── virtnetworkd-sock ├── virtnetworkd-sock-ro ├── virtnodedevd-admin-sock ├── virtnodedevd-sock ├── virtnodedevd-sock-ro ├── virtnwfilterd-admin-sock ├── virtnwfilterd-sock ├── virtnwfilterd-sock-ro ├── virtsecretd-admin-sock ├── virtsecretd-sock ├── virtsecretd-sock-ro ├── virtstoraged-admin-sock ├── virtstoraged-sock ├── virtstoraged-sock-ro ├── virtxend-admin-sock ├── virtxend-sock └── virtxend-sock-ro On the server, TLS certs are in place openssl version OpenSSL 1.1.1g 21 Apr 2020 cat /etc/libvirt/libvirt.conf ca_file = "/sec/ssl/CA/CA.CHAIN.crt.pem" cert_file = "/sec/ssl/libvirt/client.EC.crt.pem" key_file = "/sec/ssl/libvirt/client.EC.key.pem" cat /etc/libvirt/virtproxyd.conf ca_file = "/sec/ssl/CA/CA.CHAIN.crt.pem" cert_file = "/sec/ssl/libvirt/server.EC.crt.pem" key_file = "/sec/ssl/libvirt/server.EC.key.pem" On attempt to first _locally_ connect, virsh -c test:///default list sysinfo Id Name State ---------------------- 1 test running virsh -c test:///default sysinfo <sysinfo type='smbios'> <bios> <entry name='vendor'>LENOVO</entry> <entry name='version'>G4ETA1WW (2.61 )</entry> <entry name='date'>05/07/2014</entry> <entry name='release'>2.61</entry> </bios> </sysinfo> but virsh -c xen:///system?socket=/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock error: failed to connect to the hypervisor error: internal error: Unexpected driver type 'Xen' opened What's missing/incorrect in my config, causing the "Unexpected driver" error, and preventing the connect to local hypervisor?
