[libvirt-users] error: unable to connect to libvirtd at 'a.b.c.d': Connection refused

[antonela_other@yahoo.com]

Greetings: 





I have an issue with connecting to the esx hypervisor from my guest Vm. The purpose of the connection is to obtain host related information (like network, devices etc). 



I am not sure what is it that rejects the connect at the server side, and what i am missing. 

I am running lib0.7.5, i have libvirtd running on guest-vm. 

The host ESX has the ip address a.b.c.d. 



  

Any thoughts? 





  



Below the error with some debug output from libvirt. 







root > virsh -c esx://a.b.c.d/system

I tried to use uri like: esx://a.b.c.d/, esx://a.b.c.d, esxi://a.b.c.d/system etc. They all give same issue. 



Thanks.
