    environment.define()
 
 This code creates environment 'myenv' with only one VM 'mynode' and attaches 10G qcow2 volume to it. It also creates libvirt network 'mynet' from the range 10.0.0.0/16.
+
+As we use TCP connection to libvirtd we need to set it up to accept TCP.
+
+in /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf:
+
+::
+    listen_tls = 0
+    listen_tcp = 1
+    tcp_port = "16509"
+    # tls_port = "16514"
+    listen_addr = "127.0.0.1"
+    auth_tcp = "none"
+
+And fix the init-script settings to start libvirtd with --listen option
+
+in /etc/default/libvirt-bin:
+
+::
+    # options passed to libvirtd, add "-l" to listen on tcp
+    libvirtd_opts="-d -l"
