Description

When the virsh command is run on the Command Line Interface (CLI) of NFX150, it displays a "Command not found" message in the output.

This article gives the cause, and suggests the ideal method to run the virsh command on the NFX150 CLI.

 

Symptoms

When the virsh command is run on the NFX150 CLI, it displays a "Command not found" message in the output, as shown below: 

root@:~ # virsh console ubuntu1604
virsh: Command not found.
root@:~ #

 

Solution

The NFX250 platform allows users to run a virsh command on the CLI to access the console and display the dumpxml output, and so on. However, the NFX150 platform does not allow this command on the CLI.

 

To execute the virsh command on the NFX150 platform, access Hypervisor:

  
root@:~ # rsh -JU __juniper_private4__ 192.168.1.1

root@local-node:~# virsh list
 Id    Name                           State
----------------------------------------------------
 1     vjunos0                        running
 2     vnf0                           running

root@local-node:~#
 

Note: The virsh domain is not resolvable, so a virsh list is required to identify the virsh ID, which is used to run the virsh command against the desired virtual network function (VNF).
