libvirtd初始化异常(/usr/local/sbin/libvirtd: initialization failed)解决

今天在一台通过apt-get安装过老版本libvirt(0.9.8)的机器上安装OpenStack，由于老版本的libvirt有Bug，故通过源码编译安装1.2.0版本。编译安装一切正常，不过在启动nova-compute服务时出现错误：

Traceback (most recent call last):

2014-03-08 09:13:10 CRITICAL nova [-] Failed to connect socket to '/usr/local/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock': No such file or directory

由于之前也遇到过，是由于libvirtd没有正常启动导致的，于是尝试启动libvirtd服务：

/usr/local/sbin/libvirtd -l -f /etc/libvirtd.conf

这时候本该正常启动，却出现以下问题，/var/log/libvirt/下的日志中也完全找不到任何异常。

/usr/local/sbin/libvirtd: initialization failed

Google后说是字符编码的问题，需要修改：

#将以下语句添加到 /etc/profile 中
export export LC_ALL=POSIX 
#重新加载
source /etc/profile

再次重启libvirtd，这次仍有错误：

# /usr/local/sbin/libvirtd -l -f /etc/libvirtd.conf
2014-03-08 00:57:31.361+0000: 10577: info : libvirt version: 1.2.0
2014-03-08 00:57:31.361+0000: 10577: error : virNetTLSContextCheckCertFile:117 : Cannot read CA certificate '/usr/local/etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem': No such file or directory

但发现正常运行的机器上也没有 /usr/local/etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem这个文件，再次检查/etc/libvirtd.conf文件，发现有这么一段：

# Flag listening for secure TLS connections on the public TCP/IP port.
# NB, must pass the --listen flag to the libvirtd process for this to
# have any effect.
#
# It is necessary to setup a CA and issue server certificates before
# using this capability.
#
# This is enabled by default, uncomment this to disable it
# listen_tls = 0

于是将最后一行解除注释，关闭验证，再次启动libvirtd，启动正常，问题得解。

补充，有时候创建不了快照，可能是qemu-common或是qemu-utils没有安装好，apt-get重装也可解决，主要还是从错误信息中找相关线索。
