If I toggle enable_tcp in libvirtd.conf and add --listen in /etc/init.d/libvirtd, I get the unhelpful error: Starting libvirtd daemon: error: Unable to initialize network sockets. Running without --daemon provides much more useful info: sudo libvirtd --listen 11:29:26.117: error : remoteCheckCertFile:270 : Cannot access CA certificate '/etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem': No such file or directory The daemon architecture makes it difficult to report this useful info if daemonized, so point users to /var/log/messages and dropping the --daemon flag if they want more info.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
