Hi all,

I installed Xen 3.4.0 on RH5.3 from the source, It is working fine (Dom0), but when i tried to create new guest (hvm) by the virt-install i got the next message:

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 12:02:15 ERROR    virConnectOpen() failed
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/sbin/virt-install", line 560, in ?
    main()
File "/usr/sbin/virt-install", line 348, in main
    conn = cli.getConnection(options.connect)
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/virtinst/cli.py", line 92, in getConnection
    return libvirt.open(connect)
File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 123, in open
    if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virConnectOpen() failed')
libvirtError: virConnectOpen() failed

the command-line i used was :

virt-install --name fedora9 --ram 512 --file=/sda8/test1.img --file-size=3 -l /sda8/rhel-server-5.3-x86_64-dvd.iso -v

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Erez
