similar to: libvirt beginner needs to create and start VMs entirely on command line

Thanks for replying. Good info so far. After I start the VM, I’m going to need to see the boot console, and I’ll need to ssh into it with a hostname or IP. What are some required steps for those needs? This VM is going to need to access a few associated networks. I can see that the “—networks” option is part of the interface for configuring this. What are some things I’ll have to do for

This is offtopic, but related to what you’ve told me so far. I’m having some trouble getting the VNC connection to work. Technically, the “connection” is working fine, but the Windows TightVNC Viewer comes up with an error dialog saying this: Xsession: unable to start X session --- no "/home/.../.xsession" file, no "/home/.../.Xsession" file, no session managers, no window

I’m confused. You’re asking if I’m able to connect with VNC in response to my comment that I’m unable to connect with VNC? What I see when I open the viewer on the port is a window titled “<username> X desktop”, with a grey background, an “X” cursor, and an error dialog (with an “okay” prompt) saying what I described before. Ctrl-Alt-F1 and similar keys do nothing. From: Jeff Tchang

To see the boot console you need to have a VNC client and connect to it once it is up. For Mac OS I use the "Screen Sharing" application which can connect to VNC natively. For Windows you can use something like tightvnc. For SSH you need to make sure it is listening on the port. --network is used to specify a libvirt network I believe. On my example box it is in

That's kind of weird. I don't think VNC has anything to do with X really. Are you able to connect with VNC? If you are able to establish a connection the first thing you should see is a login prompt on most distributions (unless the distribution is configure to start X windows). Maybe there is some key you can press to get a console window. Like CTRL-ALT-F1 or F2 or F3. On Fri, Jul 10,

Try some of these combinations: http://www.howtogeek.com/119293/4-ways-to-recover-from-a-crashed-or-frozen-x-server-on-linux/ The good thing is your vm is up and running. You should try SSHing into it if that works. On Fri, Jul 10, 2015 at 1:37 PM, KARR, DAVID <dk068x@att.com> wrote: > I’m confused.

I actually find I do almost all my VM management inside the virsh command. If the VM appears to exist inside virsh but is in a shut off state then you should try to start it. VNC can also be SSH port forwarded (which I have done before). Not sure if this will help but this is the command I use to create VMs: virt-install \ --name example \ --vcpus=4 \ --disk /data/example,size=80 \

Hi Guy, Anyone know how we can set up the vnc password during using virt-install command ? # virt-install \ --connect qemu:///system \ --name demo \ --ram 500 \ --disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/demo.img,size=5 \ --network network=default,model=virtio \ --vnc \ --cdrom /dev/cdrom

I finally figured out my VNC configuration, so I can now run virt-manager to inspect and manipulate my VM. I initially created the VM with "virt-install", but I haven't been able to see the console or do anything with it. When I ran virt-manager, I tried to configure the vcpus (1->4) and change the boot order (cdrom, then disk, as I created the VM with an ISO). When I made

I have a kickstart file created that works great for installing CentOS on PVM''s and now I want to use it for HVM''s as well. The problem is that when I attempt to run the install, it seems to ignore the kickstart and starts prompting me for all the things I already have specified in the kickstart. Any idea what I could be doing wrong? Here is the command im using to get things

I thought it odd that if I have a running VM and I do "virsh destroy" it results in a VM that is "shut off". To ACTUALLY destroy a VM, you have to follow that with "undefine". Could someone elaborate on how we ended up with these slightly confusing semantics?

Hello , It was working good working with kvm management tools using libvirt . virsh/virt-manager . But then i got annoyed when management tool did not allow me to change the CPU model while creating new virtual machine . error root@kvm-server qemu]# virt-install --virt-type kvm --name compute-2 --cpu Haswell-noTSX --ram=61440 --vcpus=20 --os-type=linux --os-variant=generic --disk

Hello: I am using kvm on a CentOS 5.4 server. I am trying to install the TunkeyLinux Core appliance found here: http://www.turnkeylinux.org/core I downloaded the ISO file from the web site. Then, I used this command to intall it: virt-install -n tkl-core -r 512 --vcpus=1 --check-cpu --os-type=linux --os-variant=ubuntuhardy -v --accelerate -c /tmp/turnkey-core-2009.10-hardy-x86.iso -f

What are the recommendations for running KVM images on BTRFS systems using kernel 3.4?  I saw older posts on the web complaining about poor performance, but I know a lot of work has gone into btrfs since then.  There also seemed to be the nocow option, but I didn''t find anything that said it actualy helped. Anybody have ideas? Thanks, Matt -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line

Hello, i'm using libvirt/kvm/qemu on a stable Debian Linux KVM 4.9.0-6-amd64 . qemu-kvm : 1:2.8+dfsg-6+deb9u5 libvirt-daemon : 3.0.0-4+deb9u3 libvirt-clients : 3.0.0-4+deb9u3 virt-manager : 1:1.4.0-5 virt-viewer : 5.0-1 virtinst : 1:1.4.0-5 My guests are made with this kind of command line : virt-install --connect=qemu:///system --name=debian --ram=2048 --disk

Hi, I'm installing a Fedora 13 virtual host on a Fedora 13 system, like this: virt-install --ram 2048 --vcpus 4 --name test --os-type linux \ --os-variant fedora13 --disk /var/lib/libvirt/images/test.img,size=10 \ --cdrom /var/lib/libvirt/Fedora-13-x86_64-DVD.iso --vnc --noautoconsole I connect to the installer using virt-manager, and the install appears to complete successfully. Then,

Hi everyone, This is my first attempt at a PV guest install from scratch and I''m a tad confused. Have I answered one of the questions virsh-install asks wrongly? Does anyone know of a general guide for installing PV guests with virsh-install? (Most Centos docs seem to use the GUI based virt-manager and I only have command line access). Am I meant to make use of the files here:
