  • Connecting to RHEV Hypervisor with virsh or virt-manager

    Posted on

    I have RHEV 3.0 beta setup and running.  I am trying to use virsh to connect to the hypervisor by running it locally on the hypervisor or remotely from the manager.  It prompts for a user/password and it seems none of my current passwords that were setup on the manager or hypervisor are working. 

     

    I found an old note about

     

    vdsm
    component
    VDSM now configures libvirt so that connection to its local read-write UNIX domain socket is password-protected by SASL. The intention is to protect virtual machines from human errors of local host administrators. All operations that may change the state of virtual machines on a Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization-controlled host must be performed from Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager.
     
    Does anyone know how I can find out the correct user/password to provide to virsh?
     
    Thanks,
     
    Keith
