C.1 Configuration File Example 1
A simple example of a configuration file to create a guest follows:
disk = [ 'file:/mnt/el4u5_64_hvm//system.img,hda,w' ] memory=4096
vcpus=2 name="el4u5_64_hvm"
vif = [ ' ' ] #By default no n/w interfaces are configured. E.g: A default hvm install will have the line as vif=[ 'type=ioemu,bridge=xenbr0' ]
builder = "hvm"
device_model =
vnc=1
vncunused=1
apic=1
acpi=1
pae=1
serial = "pty" # enable serial console
on_reboot | = | 'restart' |
on_crash | = | 'restart' |
