CentOS virt - Nov 2016 - Running i386 guests under CentOS7 amd64 kvm host

Hi all,

 Maybe it is a stupid question, but I a totally lost. When I try to configure an
ubuntu i386 guest under CentOS7 amd64 kvm host (fully patched) using
virt-manager, I can't select what architecture I want to use. If I try to
change guest.xml using "virsh edit", I can do it, but guest
doesn't starts ...

 Is it not possible to run i386 guests under CentOS7 amd64 kvm hosts??

Thanks.

Dear Martinez,
You should be able to search the ubuntu  guest under virtManager from CentOS
desktop environment (Gnome for example).
For New VM machine creation with Ubuntu guest, you just select OS type
"Linux", Version " ubuntu12 " subject to available. Hope
that helps!

Thanks XLord, but using virtual manager, there is not an option to select
"i386" or "amd64" guest ...

The i386 guest should run fine in a normal x86_64 setup, right?  You can
install 32bit Ubuntu on a physical x86_64 machine, right?
