libvirt and VirtualBox

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hello

On an up-to-date Arch x86-64 system, I fail to manage VirtualBox VMs
with libvirt virsh:

$ virsh -c vbox:///session
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
error: internal error: unable to initialize VirtualBox driver API

Is this supposed to work out of the box?

Both VirtualBox (5.0.14-1) and libvirt (1.3.2-1) are installed from the
community repository, and VirtualBox support seems to be compiled in:

$ virsh -V
Virsh command line tool of libvirt 1.3.2
[...]
Compiled with support for:
 Hypervisors: QEMU/KVM LXC UML OpenVZ VMware PHYP VirtualBox ESX Test
[...]

Furthermore, both VirtualBox alone (i.e. when managed by VBoxManage or
similar) and libvirt when used to manage QEMU/KVM sessions work fine.

Any hints about what I'm missing?


TIA & cheers,

Jukka
