      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      Fresh install RHEL 9.3, add libvirt/qemu packages to run VMs.

      Try to use virt-admin

      # virt-admin connect
      error: Failed to connect to the admin server
      error: Failed to connect socket to '/run/libvirt/libvirt-admin-sock': No such file or directory
      

      It is trying to connect to the legacy monolithic socket. The new one is listening:

      [root@rhel-9 ~]# systemctl status virtqemud-admin.socket
      ● virtqemud-admin.socket - Libvirt qemu admin socket
           Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/virtqemud-admin.socket; enabled; preset: disabled)
           Active: active (listening) since Tue 2024-01-30 17:05:22 AEST; 6min ago
            Until: Tue 2024-01-30 17:05:22 AEST; 6min ago
         Triggers: ● virtqemud.service
           Listen: /run/libvirt/virtqemud-admin-sock (Stream)
           CGroup: /system.slice/virtqemud-admin.socket
      
      Jan 30 17:05:22 rhel-9.virt.home.arpa systemd[1]: Listening on Libvirt qemu admin socket.
      

      Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:

      # rpm -q libvirt
      libvirt-9.5.0-7.el9_3.x86_64
