error: failed to connect to the hypervisor error: Failed to connect socket to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock': No such file or directory 解决办法

服务器版本：CentOS Linux release 7.4

Linux lb 3.10.0-693.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Aug 22 21:09:27 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

注：在翻了很多baidu和google相关文章后，逐步排查，根据手动执行libvirtd命令出现的报错信息才查到解决方法。一路坑。

对装有kvm虚拟机的服务器执行了安装libguestfs-tools后，发现出现了故障。

执行virsh list命令后会报以下错误：

virsh list
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
error: Failed to connect socket to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock': No such file or directory

执行systemctl status libvirtd后报错：

执行systemctl restart libvirtd后报错：

Job for libvirtd.service failed because start of the service was attempted too often. See "systemctl status libvirtd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
To force a start use "systemctl reset-failed libvirtd.service" followed by "systemctl start libvirtd.service" again.

原因：

因为依赖安装了某些包（比如libguestfs-tools）后，跟着KVM相关的软件也跟着升级，但是CentOS7.4无法运行这个版本的libvirt，最简单粗暴的做法就是移除该模块，重启libvirtd。

解决办法：

mv /usr/lib64/libvirt/storage-backend/libvirt_storage_backend_rbd.so /usr/lib64/libvirt/storage-backend/libvirt_storage_backend_rbd.so-bak

systemctl restart libvirtd

再次执行virsh list，正常了：
