[root@toolscluster-ovirt ~]# sudo -u vdsm virsh -r -c 'qemu+ssh://root@10.240.75.248/system' list --all The authenticity of host '10.240.75.248 (10.240.75.248)' can't be established.

Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes root(a)10.240.75.248&#39;s password: I am only *Cough* assuming that vdsm is the user that is doing this from the gui... I am running version 4.2.4.5-1.el7 Any help here would be much appreciated.
