I tried the following, but it fails. I believe I have everything that needs to be installed, right?

[root@anders-21 ~]# virsh --connect qemu:///system error: failed to connect to the hypervisor error: no connection driver available for qemu:///system [root@anders-21 ~]# yum list | grep qemu ipxe-roms-qemu.noarch 20130517-5.gitc4bce43.el7 @CENTOS70 libvirt-daemon-driver-qemu.x86_64 1.2.8-16.el7_1.3 @updates qemu-guest-agent.x86_64 10:1.5.3-60.el7_0.11 @updates qemu-img.x86_64 10:1.5.3-60.el7_0.11 @updates qemu-kvm.x86_64 10:1.5.3-60.el7_0.11 @updates qemu-kvm-common.x86_64 10:1.5.3-60.el7_0.11 @updates

I'm trying to set up a compute node on CentOS 7 with the Kilo version. My machine has hardware virtualization. However when I try to start up the opestack-nova-compute service, I get the below in the log file.

2015-05-26 10:46:29.227 7683 TRACE nova.virt.libvirt.host libvirtError: no connection driver available for qemu:///system

I have all the libvirt packages below installed on the system. I've played around with the 'virt_type' parameter in the nova.conf file and it won't work unless I set it for lxc! I don't want lxc, I want kvm at least for now.
