<font color=red>Can I name a guest "ose36.master", or "''environment-name''.''host-in-environment-name''"?. It would be useful in virsh list.</font>
 
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#Overviewl|virt-install]]
 
If the XML definition of a virtual machine is available, it can be created with:
 
[[virsh define|virsh define]]
