virsh list not working

[WebHostingNeeds]

I have OVH ProxMox v4.0 server. When i run

# virsh list
setlocale: No such file or directory
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
error: no valid connection
error: Failed to connect socket to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock': No such file or directory




#

I tried starting libvirtd

# systemctl start libvirtd
Job for libvirtd.service failed. See 'systemctl status libvirtd.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.
#

journalctl -xn shows

# journalctl -xn

How i fix this ?

virsh in not part of Proxmox, so you must have installed it, did you install it, which packages did you download, did you miss something?

 

[WebHostingNeeds]

It is part of libvirt package, i installed it with

apt-get install libvirt-bin

This is what i used to manage KVM VPS on another server with no control panel, it is command line tool. Since i am new to ProxMox, i can checking this, so i can control my VPS even if ProxMox did not work.

Is there anyway i can see list of running VPS on a ProxMox server ?

Hi,
pve doesn't use libvirt...

for cli commands use

qm list
lxc-ls
lxc-info

Thanks Udo, qm list works.

So we can't connect to VPS on ProxMox server with virt-manager ?

virt-manager.org

EDIT: Done some googling, found it do not working with virt-manager.

No, proxmox does not use libvirt.
