Hi Swogat,

Yes the commands are correct, snippet from local system:-

[root@compute-0 ~]# podman exec -it nova_virtqemud /bin/bash
[root@compute-0 /]# virsh list --all
 Id   Name   State
--------------------

[root@compute-0 /]# virsh uri
qemu:///system

[root@compute-0 /]# virsh -c qemu:///system list --all
 Id   Name   State
--------------------

[root@compute-0 /]# virsh -c qemu:///session list --all
 Id   Name   State
--------------------

[root@compute-0 /]

Thanks and Regards

Hi Yatin,

It doesn't seem to work.

I am not sure if i am running the right command tough can you please confirm?

[root@dcn01-hci-2 ~]# podman exec -it nova_virtqemud /bin/bash
[root@dcn01-hci-2 /]# virsh list
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
error: no connection driver available for <null>

Hi Swogat

You can use the virsh commands from "nova_virtqemud" container in stable/wallaby+.

Thanks and Regards

Hi,

Can someone please tell me how can i access the virsh utility on the compute node on openstack wallaby?

Previously we used nova_libvirt but in wallaby there are multiple containers and i am unable to use virsh utility to edit my domain.xml file.

List of containers:
