| ==== Adding a VM to Virtual Machine Manager ==== | | ==== ==== |
| Dennis J. asked<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-virt/2009-June/msg00026.html</ref>
| |
| "How do I add a custom-built vm to {{package|virt-manager}}?"
| |
| | |
| This is a two step process with a few ways to accomplish them.
| |
| # Create an XML representation<ref>http://www.libvirt.org/formatdomain.html</ref> of the guest, or domain, configuration.
| |
| # Import this definition into {{package|libvirt}}. i.e. <code>virsh define guest.xml</code>
| |
| | |
| The {{package|python-virtinst|virt-image}}<ref>http://people.redhat.com/dlutter/virt-image/virt-image-xml.html</ref>
| |
| tool was suggested and worked for Dennis.
| |
| There is also a perl script<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FWN/Issue174#Virt-Manage_an_Existing_Guest</ref> that can be used to create an XML definition from the set of <code>qemu-kvm</code> command line arguments used to create the guest. There is a public API in <code>libvirt</code> for converting back and forth between the native hypervisor configurations and XML representations.<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FWN/Issue176#Converting_Between_Domain_XML_and_Native_Configurations</ref>
| |
| | |
| Finally, <code>virt-install</code> added an <code>--import</code> option which allows creating a guest from an existing disk image, bypassing any OS install phase.<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FWN/Issue166#New_Release_virtinst_0.4.2</ref>

| [[ColeRobinson|Cole Robinson]]
| | This section contains the discussion happening on the |
| posted<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-virt/2009-June/msg00100.html</ref> a request for comments on "the initial work for a new library, <code>libosinfo</code><ref>http://fedorapeople.org/~crobinso/osinfo/</ref> (better name
| | [http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-xen fedora-xen list]. |
| recommendations appreciated). This library will provide OS meta data for use
| |
| in virt applications, replacing the dictionary we currently keep in
| |
| {{package|python-virtinst|virtinst}}." The work was based on
| |
| a post<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/et-mgmt-tools/2009-March/msg00028.html</ref> by [[DanielBerrange|Daniel Berrange]].
