What kind of VMs have you been using? Created and set up by libvirt? Yes, all of them had been created using virt-manager. Linux VMs, RHEL/Fedora. Are there errors in the logs related to libvirt or firewalld? Is the libvirt configuration modified? Please attach the output of the iptables-save command. Looks I didn't have the time to follow up with the requested details :( |
Installed a fresh F19. Attempted to make use of VMs that I had used on a different system. Actual behaviour: VMs couldn't start networking, they were stuck in "connecting" I didn't think of the defaul firewall as a potential cause. Once I did, the only obvious remedy was: disable firewall Questions: (a) Could firewalld allow communication with local VMs by default? (b) If (a) => no, then: Could there be an easily discoverable fix to allow the user to allow such communication, without having to disable the firewall?
