It’s unclear what you’re trying to do - but the message seems self
explanatory.
It would be useful if you told us what it is you are trying to
accomplish. Whatever it is, it’s apparently not supported by libvirt, so
if you told us what you were trying to do, someone could probably tell
you how to do that.
First, you need to state whether you’re using Virt Manager to support KVM or Xen (Virt Manager will work with either tehnology).
On my machine I see a similar message in the “Network Interface” tab because that is not supported in KVM.
Assuming your error really has to do with the Virtual Networks tab,
Do you have any other virtualization installed? You’d have problems if you’re also running VMware, Virtualbox or any other while also running Xen or KVM.
Do you have an active network interface? Typically you would but your situation might be odd…
Do you have an active wired interface? I don’t know about Xen, but KVM seems to have intermittent issues when only a wireless connection is active.
I’m trying to manage openXen in opensuse 12.2. Below is my steps:
Install opensuse with xen server, then boot into xen;
Configure one bridge “br0” with Yast network device configuration;
Run virt-manager->Edit->Connection Details, check the tabs “Virtual networks”, “Storage” and “Network Interface”, nothing appeared but “libvirt coonection does not support…”
Do you have the tun/tap packages installed? They are required.
Although what you’re trying to do was not my preferred configuration during an investigation I was/am still doing trying to bind a virtual network to an interface without br (It’s my understanding that with the current IP stack this might not be necessary), I was able to setup what you’re trying without a problem… ie. configure br0, then open virt-manager and create/bind a virtual network.
As I stated earlier, I am using KVM but I doubt that should have made a diff in this situation.
