Hello VGLUG,
I have installed "libvirtd" service in Fedora 20 PPC64 Architecture and everything is running well. I have successfully installed CentOS 6.3 64 bit Guest OS, but it gives very slow response. While verifying libvirtd status, below status message appears.

My concern is, why Guest OS is having very slow response. What did I miss in configuring libvirt module?
Expert advise is urgently needed.
