Expected results:
Connect and be able to convert.


Additional info:
Remote xen server is:
Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS
libxen-4.1                           4.1.6.1-0ubuntu0.12.04.11

Comment 1 Jiri Denemark 2016-09-15 07:32:42 UTC

Is libvirtd running on the remote host?

Comment 2 Artur Cuvasov 2016-09-19 20:40:46 UTC

You are right, there could have been a message for that... Another issue now: libvirt does not allow to convert a running virtual server, what is understandable, however when you shut it down (xen shutdown G1BATCH) - it does not find a machine.

Comment 3 Daniel Berrangé 2024-12-17 12:09:37 UTC

Thank you for reporting this issue to the libvirt project. Unfortunately we have been unable to resolve this issue due to insufficient maintainer capacity and it will now be closed. This is not a reflection on the possible validity of the issue, merely the lack of resources to investigate and address it, for which we apologise. If you none the less feel the issue is still important, you may choose to report it again at the new project issue tracker https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/issues The project also welcomes contribution from anyone who believes they can provide a solution.
