Creating a Guest

This Chapter contains information on how to create a guest operating system. You can create paravirtualized guests and hardware virtualized guests using a guest template, or using the command-line tool virt-install. virt-install can be used as an interactive shell, or all parameters can be given at the same time from the command-line. You can enter multiple parameters to the virt-install tool in the format:

virt-install [options]

Appendix A, "Command-Line Tools" lists the virt-install command-line tool parameters.

You can also create guest on Oracle VM Server using Oracle VM Manager. See the Oracle VM Manager User’s Guide for information on creating guests with Oracle VM Manager.
