Libvirt Connect to XEN from Windows

I have setup XEN on SLES12 and created few virtual machines. Using virsh I am able to connect to libvirt from linux but not from windows. I was trying:

# connect xen://hostname
# connect xen://hostname/system
# connect xen+tcp://hostname
# connect xen+tcp://hostname/system

I have recieved following error messages:

# connect xen+tcp://hostname    'Unable to connect to server at 'hostname:16509': Unknown error 107'
# connect xen://hostname        'error: Cannot read CA certificate '/usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem': No such file or directory'

Other commands stated above produce same errors. I runned netstat and I cannot find port number 16509. I assume that when I connect from linux it uses different port(?) as there is no problem with that. the only difference is that from linux I use ssh connection:

 # connect xen+ssh://root@hostname

Any ideas will be appriciated

It’s likely that your libvirtd is not listening to the TCP port. You must have –listen option while running the libvirtd.

Check following link

Additionally you may need to modify /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf

listen_tls = 0 #it's enabled by default. To disable it, set it to be zero
listen_tcp = 1
tcp_port="16509"
listen_addr="192.168.45.22"
# tcp_auth = "sasl"
auth_tcp = "none"
# /usr/sbin/libvirtd –listen

Use command libvirtd -d It will create libvirtd deamon and then use libvirtd --listen to make libvirtd listen on TCP port.
