Create a Guest Virtual Machine

Virtualization host storage and networking must be configured as a prerequisite to creating guest virtual machines. Once storage pools and storage volumes are made available, and the networking is configured, guest virtual machines can be created with:

   virt-install
   virsh define

Start/Stop Guest VMs

   virsh start
   virsh shutdown

Connect to the Guest VM

   virsh console

Adding Storage to Guests

Adding Storage to Guests

Cloning a Guest VM

TO replicate and verify:

  • Shut down the guest with virsh shutdown.
  • Export the XML configuration with virsh dumpxml.
  • Copy the XML definition and the disk image to the target node.
  • Edit the XML as needed.
  • Define the guest with virsh define.
