Hello everyone -
I am trying to use virt-viewer to connect to KVM virtual machines running on a
CentOS7 host. It works great when running directly on the host, but I have
not been able to figure out the magic connection string to make it work from
another computer.
On the host, I set selinux to "permissive" and stopped the firewalld service.
No change, so it is not related to them.
Almost every command I try gives an immediate dialog box that says "Unable to
connect to libvirt with URI ...". The only command line that gets me anything
different is this:
virt-viewer --connect xen+ssh://root@practice7.billgee.local/
dd2a2ba7-707d-42b5-8c83-94b11ce6e269
This will ask me for the root password on the host machine and then gives me
the same "Unable to connect" message. I tried it with a regular user account
instead of root and got the same result.
I have tried it with and without the "root@" string. I tried using both the
UUID and the domain name of the guest. I tried all of the following
protocols:
ssh://
qemu://
qemu:///
xen://
xen+ssh://
qemu_ssh://
qemu+ssh://
If I open a regular ssh shell using the +X parameter and then launch virt-
viewer, it works. The connection string in that case is
--connect=qemu:///system
Any suggestions?
Thanks - Bill Gee
