Creating a Guest Using virt-install

2.If the host is capable of creating a hardware virtualized guest, the following question is displayed:

Would you like a fully virtualized guest (yes or no)?

Creating a hardware (fully) virtualized guest allows you to run unmodified operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows. Enter no to create a paravirtualized guest, or enter yes to create a hardware virtualized guest. Press Enter.

3.The following question is displayed:

What is the name of your virtual machine?

This is the label that identifies the guest. It is used as the guest’s configuration file name and stored as /etc/xen/name. This label is also used with a number of xm commands. Enter the name of the guest, for example enter

myguest

The configuration file is created. Press Enter.

4.The following question is displayed:

How much RAM should be allocated (in megabytes)? Setting the RAM to a value less than 256 megabytes is not recommended.

You are prompted to enter the RAM to allocate to the guest. RAM is allocated solely to the guest, and not taken from dom0. To check the amount of RAM available on your computer, run the xm info command and review the free_ memory column. Free memory is displayed in Megabytes. This is the total amount of RAM that can be allocated to guests. Enter the amount of RAM to be allocated for the guest in Megabytes, for example, enter

256

Press Enter.

5.The following question is displayed:

What would you like to use as the disk (path)?

The guest sees the disk storage allocated in virt-install as a single virtual hard disk, analogous to a physical hard disk. This appears as hda and can be partitioned and managed in the guest exactly as if it were regular physical hardware. Enter the absolute local path and file name of the file to serve as the disk image for the guest, for example, enter

/home/myhome/el5

This is exported as a full disk to your guest. Press Enter.

6.If the file specified in the previous step does not exist, the following question is displayed:

How large would you like the disk to be (in gigabytes)?

Enter the size of the virtual disk for the guest in Gigabytes. For the purpose of this example, enter 8 Gigabytes. For example, enter

8

Press Enter.
