virt-install

[-p --paravirt]

Sets the guest as being a paravirtualized guest.

[-llocation --location=location]

Sets the installation source for a paravirtualized guest, for example, nfs:host:/path, http://host/path, or ftp://host/path.

virt-install -lhttp://example.com/path

[--vif-type=type]

Sets the virtual network interface type for hardware virtualized guests. The netfront driver is a paravirtualized driver which can be used with a paravirtualized guest, or with a hardware virtualized guest with the proper paravirtualized drivers installed. The ioemu driver is a hardware virtualized driver, and can only be used with a hardware virtualized guest. Both drivers contain the device emulation code to support hardware virtualized guests.

For hardware virtualized guests, type can be either ioemu or netfront. The default is ioemu.

You cannot use this parameter for paravirtualized guests. For paravirtualized guests, the default is netfront and cannot be changed.

virt-install --vif-type=ioemu

[[-xargs --extra-args=args] ...]

Any additional arguments to pass to the installer with a paravirtualized guest.

[-d --debug]

Prints debugging information.
