Creating a Guest Using virt-install

Modify the vm.cfg file to change the directories to that of your environment. The 
entries you should modify are 

image

, 

kernel

 and 

ramdisk

. For example

disk = [ 'file:/OVS/seed_pool/para_seed/system.img,hda,w', ]

kernel = '/OVS/seed_pool/para_seed/vmlinuz-2.6.9-42.32.0.0.1.ELxenU' 

ramdisk = '/OVS/seed_pool/para_seed/initrd-2.6.9-42.32.0.0.1.ELxenU.img'

Should be modified as follows:

disk = [ 'file:/OVS/local/para_seed/system.img,hda,w', ]

kernel = '/OVS/local/para_seed/vmlinuz-2.6.9-42.32.0.0.1.ELxenU' 

ramdisk = '/OVS/local/para_seed/initrd-2.6.9-42.32.0.0.1.ELxenU.img'

Modify the 

vif

 (Virtual Network Interface) setting in the vm.cfg file to remove the 

fixed MAC address. For example

vif = ['type=ioemu, mac=00:16:3e:73:a3:27, bridge=xenbr0']

Should be modified as follows:

vif = ['type=ioemu, , bridge=xenbr0']

Alternatively, you could modify it to have no virtual interface:

vif = ['']

Modify the 

uuid

 (Universally Unique Identifier) setting in the vm.cfg file. For 

example

uuid = "8a87a97c-65ad-f243-b373-20185c83053e"

Should be commented as follows:

# uuid = "8a87a97c-65ad-f243-b373-20185c83053e"

Modify any other settings you require in the vm.cfg file. For example, 

memory

 or 

vcpus

 (virtual CPUs).

To create and start the guest, use the 

xm create

 command:

xm create vm.cgf

The guest is created and started.

The following example shows how to create a paravirtualized or hardware virtualized 
guest using the virt-install command-line tool. This procedure uses an interactive 
session. You can also pass virt-install parameters at the same time as command-line 
options. In particular, kickstart options can be passed with:

virt-install -x ks=

To create a paravirtualized or hardware virtualized guest interactively:

Open a command-line shell as root, and start the interactive install process by 
running the virt-install command-line tool:

virt-install
