I'm trying to get VirtManager/virsh to see VMs created by Vagrant but no joy so far...
I have installed qemu and libvirt via brew.
Here is the Vagrantfile:
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
# Define the VM box and provider
config.vm.box = "perk/ubuntu-2204-arm64"
config.vm.define "ubuntu-arm64" do |node|
config.vm.provider :qemu do |qemu|
qemu.cpus = 4
qemu.memory = 4096
end
node.vm.network :private_network, type: "dhcp"
node.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: 22, host: 2223, id: "ssh"
end
end
After running vagrant up I can see a qemu instance running and the VM is available:
$ ps -ef | awk '/qemu/ && !/awk/' | sed -e 's/[^/]*//' -e 's/ -/\n\t-/g'
/opt/homebrew/bin/qemu-system-aarch64
-machine virt,accel=hvf,highmem=on
-cpu host
-smp 2
-m 4096
-device virtio-net-device,netdev=net0
-netdev user,id=net0,hostfwd=tcp::50022-:22

-c qemu:///session
--no-fork
I then run virsh list but I still don't see any VMs (same thing happens when I sudo virsh list ).
I found a reference that suggested I need to specify the connection socket so I did that and this is the result:
sudo virsh -c "qemu:///session" list
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
error: Failed to connect socket to '/opt/homebrew/var/run/libvirt/virtqemud-sock': No such file or directory
So I did some more research and found that I need to specify the libvirt-sock on the query string:
sudo virsh -c "qemu:///session?socket=/Users/stefletcher/.cache/libvirt/libvirt-sock" list
Id Name State
--------------------
It tried to list but couldn't see the qemu VM.
I get the feeling that I'm missing something basic but can't put my finger on it.
