Create a Guest Virtual Machine

Virtualization host storage and host-level 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

If the XML definition of a virtual machine is available, it can be created with:

virsh define

Start/Stop Guest Virtual Machines

virsh start [--console] <vm-name>
virsh shutdown <vm-name>

Connect to the Guest Virtual Machine

virsh console

Add Storage to Guests

Adding Storage to Guests
