- =head1 SYNOPSIS
-
--B<virt-install> [OPTION]...
-+B<virt-manager> [OPTIONS]
-
- =head1 DESCRIPTION
-
--B<virt-install> is a command line tool for creating new KVM, Xen, or Linux
--container guests using the C<libvirt> hypervisor management library.
--See the EXAMPLES section at the end of this document to quickly get started.
--
--B<virt-install> tool supports graphical installations using (for example)
--VNC or SPICE, as well as text mode installs over serial console. The guest
--can be configured to use one or more virtual disks, network interfaces,
--audio devices, physical USB or PCI devices, among others.
--
--The installation media can be held locally or remotely on NFS, HTTP, FTP
--servers. In the latter case C<virt-install> will fetch the minimal files
--necessary to kick off the installation process, allowing the guest
--to fetch the rest of the OS distribution as needed. PXE booting, and importing
--an existing disk image (thus skipping the install phase) are also supported.
--
--Given suitable command line arguments, C<virt-install> is capable of running
--completely unattended, with the guest 'kickstarting' itself too. This allows
--for easy automation of guest installs.
--
--Many arguments have sub options, specified like opt1=foo,opt2=bar, etc. Try
----option=? to see a complete list of sub options associated with that
--argument, example: virt-install --disk=?
-+B<virt-manager> is a desktop tool for managing virtual machines. It
-+provides the ability to control the lifecycle of existing machines
-+(bootup/shutdown,pause/resume,suspend/restore), provision new virtual
-+machines and various types of store, manage virtual networks,
-+access the graphical console of virtual machines, and view performance
-+statistics, all done locally or remotely.
-
--Most options are not required. Minimum requirements are --name, --memory,
--guest storage (--disk or --filesystem), and an install option.

--
--Some valid options here are:
--
--=over 4
--
--=item qemu:///system
--
--For creating KVM and QEMU guests to be run by the system libvirtd instance.
--This is the default mode that virt-manager uses, and what most KVM users
--want.

--
--General configuration parameters that apply to all types of guest installs.
--
--=over 4
--
--=item B<-n> NAME
--
--=item B<--name> NAME
--
--Name of the new guest virtual machine instance. This must be unique amongst
--all guests known to the hypervisor on the connection, including those not
--currently active. To re-define an existing guest, use the C<virsh(1)> tool
--to shut it down ('virsh shutdown') & delete ('virsh undefine') it prior to
--running C<virt-install>.
--
--=item B<--memory> OPTIONS
--
--Memory to allocate for the guest, in MiB. This deprecates the -r/--ram option.
--Sub options are available, like 'maxmemory', 'hugepages', 'hotplugmemorymax'
--and 'hotplugmemoryslots'. The memory parameter is mapped to <currentMemory> element,
--the 'maxmemory' sub-option is mapped to <memory> element and 'hotplugmemorymax'
--and 'hotplugmemoryslots' are mapped to <maxMemory> element.
--

--=item B<--vcpus> OPTIONS
--
--Number of virtual cpus to configure for the guest. If 'maxvcpus' is specified,
--the guest will be able to hotplug up to MAX vcpus while the guest is running,
--but will startup with VCPUS.
--
--CPU topology can additionally be specified with sockets, cores, and threads.
--If values are omitted, the rest will be autofilled preferring sockets over
--cores over threads.
--
--'cpuset' sets which physical cpus the guest can use. C<CPUSET> is a comma separated list of numbers, which can also be specified in ranges or cpus to exclude. Example:
--
-- 0,2,3,5 : Use processors 0,2,3 and 5

--
--Configure the CPU model and CPU features exposed to the guest. The only
--required value is MODEL, which is a valid CPU model as known to libvirt.
--
--Libvirt's feature policy values force, require, optional, disable, or forbid,

--
--Expose the core2duo CPU model, force enable x2apic, but do not expose vmx
--
--=item B<--cpu host>
--
--Expose the host CPUs configuration to the guest. This enables the guest to
--take advantage of many of the host CPUs features (better performance), but
--may cause issues if migrating the guest to a host without an identical CPU.
--
--=item B<--cpu host-model-only>
--
--Expose the nearest host CPU model configuration to the guest.
--It is the best CPU which can be used for a guest on any of the hosts.
--
--=item B<--cpu cell0.memory=1234,cell0.cpus=0-3,cell1.memory=5678,cell1.cpus=4-7>
--
--Example of specifying two NUMA cells. This will generate XML like:

--=item B<--security> type=TYPE[,label=LABEL][,relabel=yes|no]
--
--Configure domain security driver settings. Type can be either 'static' or
--'dynamic'. 'static' configuration requires a security LABEL. Specifying
--LABEL without TYPE implies static configuration.
--
--To have libvirt automatically apply your static label, you must specify
--relabel=yes. Otherwise disk images must be manually labeled by the admin,
--including images that virt-install is asked to create.

--File or device used as a virtual CD-ROM device.
--It can be path to an ISO image, or to a CDROM device. It can also be a URL
--from which to fetch/access a minimal boot ISO image. The URLs take the same
--format as described for the C<--location> argument. If a cdrom has been
--specified via the C<--disk> option, and neither C<--cdrom> nor any other
--install option is specified, the C<--disk> cdrom is used as the install media.
--
--=item B<-l> LOCATION
--
--=item B<--location> OPTIONS
--
--Distribution tree installation source. virt-install can recognize
--certain distribution trees and fetches a bootable kernel/initrd pair to
--launch the install.
--
--With libvirt 0.9.4 or later, network URL installs work for remote connections.
--virt-install will download kernel/initrd to the local machine, and then
--upload the media to the remote host. This option requires the URL to
--be accessible by both the local and remote host.
--
----location allows things like --extra-args for kernel arguments, and using --initrd-inject. If you want to use those options with CDROM media, you have a few options:
--
--* Run virt-install as root and do --location ISO
--
--* Mount the ISO at a local directory, and do --location DIRECTORY
--
--* Mount the ISO at a local directory, export that directory over local http, and do --location http://localhost/DIRECTORY
--
--The C<LOCATION> can take one of the following forms:
--
--=over 4
--
--=item http://host/path
--
--An HTTP server location containing an installable distribution image.
--
--=item ftp://host/path
--
--An FTP server location containing an installable distribution image.
--
--=item nfs:host:/path or nfs://host/path
--
--An NFS server location containing an installable distribution image. This requires running virt-install as root.
--
--=item DIRECTORY
--
--Path to a local directory containing an installable distribution image. Note that the directory will not be accessible by the guest after initial boot, so the OS installer will need another way to access the rest of the install media.
--
--=item ISO
--
--Mount the ISO and probe the directory. This requires running virt-install as root, and has the same VM access caveat as DIRECTORY.

--=item B<--disk> OPTIONS
--
--Specifies media to use as storage for the guest, with various options. The
--general format of a disk string is
--
-- --disk opt1=val1,opt2=val2,...
--
--The simplest invocation to create a new 10G disk image and associated disk device:
--
-- --disk size=10
--
--virt-install will generate a path name, and place it in the default image location for the hypervisor. To specify media, the command can either be:
--
-- --disk /some/storage/path[,opt1=val1]...
--
--or explicitly specify one of the following arguments:
--
--=over 4
--
--=item B<path>
--
--A path to some storage media to use, existing or not. Existing media can be
--a file or block device.
--
--Specifying a non-existent path implies attempting to create the new storage,
--and will require specifying a 'size' value. Even for remote hosts, virt-install
--will try to use libvirt storage APIs to automatically create the given path.
--
--If the hypervisor supports it, B<path> can also be a network URL, like
--http://example.com/some-disk.img . For network paths, they hypervisor will
--directly access the storage, nothing is downloaded locally.
--
--=item B<pool>
--
--An existing libvirt storage pool name to create new storage on. Requires
--specifying a 'size' value.
--
--=item B<vol>
--
--An existing libvirt storage volume to use. This is specified as
--'poolname/volname'.

--
--Other available options:
--
--=over 4
--
--=item B<device>
--
--Disk device type. Value can be 'cdrom', 'disk', 'lun' or 'floppy'. Default is
--'disk'. If a 'cdrom' is specified, and no install method is chosen, the
--cdrom is used as the install media.
--
--=item B<boot_order>
--
--Guest installation with multiple disks will need this parameter to boot correctly after being installed. A boot_order parameter will take values 1,2,3,... Devices with lower value has higher priority.
--
--=item B<bus>
--
--Disk bus type. Value can be 'ide', 'sata', 'scsi', 'usb', 'virtio' or 'xen'.
--The default is hypervisor dependent since not all hypervisors support all
--bus types.
--
--=item B<removable>

--=item B<sparse>
--
--whether to skip fully allocating newly created storage. Value is 'yes' or
--'no'. Default is 'yes' (do not fully allocate) unless it isn't
--supported by the underlying storage type.
--
--The initial time taken to fully-allocate the guest virtual disk (sparse=no)
--will be usually balanced by faster install times inside the guest. Thus
--use of this option is recommended to ensure consistently high performance
--and to avoid I/O errors in the guest should the host filesystem fill up.
--
--=item B<backing_store>
--
--Path to a disk to use as the backing store for the newly created image.
--
--=item B<backing_format>
--
--Disk image format of B<backing_store>

--
--The cache mode to be used. The host pagecache provides cache memory.
--The cache value can be 'none', 'writethrough', 'directsync', 'unsafe'
--or 'writeback'.
--'writethrough' provides read caching. 'writeback' provides
--read and write caching. 'directsync' bypasses the host page
--cache. 'unsafe' may cache all content and ignore flush requests from
--the guest.
--
--=item B<discard>
--
--Whether discard (also known as "trim" or "unmap") requests are ignored
--or passed to the filesystem. The value can be either "unmap" (allow
--the discard request to be passed) or "ignore" (ignore the discard
--request). Since 1.0.6 (QEMU and KVM only)
--
--=item B<format>
--
--Disk image format. For file volumes, this can be 'raw', 'qcow2', 'vmdk', etc. See format types in L<http://libvirt.org/storage.html> for possible values. This is often mapped to the B<driver_type> value as well.
--
--If not specified when creating file images, this will default to 'qcow2'.
--
--If creating storage, this will be the format of the new image. If using an existing image, this overrides libvirt's format auto-detection.
--
--=item B<driver_name>
--
--Driver name the hypervisor should use when accessing the specified
--storage. Typically does not need to be set by the user.
--
--=item B<driver_type>
--
--Driver format/type the hypervisor should use when accessing the specified
--storage. Typically does not need to be set by the user.
--
--=item B<io>

--Specifies a directory on the host to export to the guest. The most simple
--invocation is:
--
-- --filesystem /source/on/host,/target/point/in/guest
--
--Which will work for recent QEMU and linux guest OS or LXC containers. For
--QEMU, the target point is just a mounting hint in sysfs, so will not be

--otherwise '--graphics none' is used.
--
--=over 4
--
--=item B<--graphics> TYPE,opt1=arg1,opt2=arg2,...
--
--Specifies the graphical display configuration. This does not configure any
--virtual hardware, just how the guest's graphical display can be accessed.
--Typically the user does not need to specify this option, virt-install will
--try and choose a useful default, and launch a suitable connection.
--
--General format of a graphical string is
--
-- --graphics TYPE,opt1=arg1,opt2=arg2,...
--
--For example:
--
-- --graphics vnc,password=foobar
--
--The supported options are:
--
--=over 4
--
--=item B<type>
--
--The display type. This is one of:
--
--vnc
--
--Setup a virtual console in the guest and export it as a VNC server in
--the host. Unless the C<port> parameter is also provided, the VNC
--server will run on the first free port number at 5900 or above. The
--actual VNC display allocated can be obtained using the C<vncdisplay>
--command to C<virsh> (or L<virt-viewer(1)> can be used which handles this
--detail for the use).
--
--spice
--
--Export the guest's console using the Spice protocol. Spice allows advanced
--features like audio and USB device streaming, as well as improved graphical
--performance.
--
--Using spice graphic type will work as if those arguments were given:
--
-- --video qxl --channel spicevmc
--
--none
--
--No graphical console will be allocated for the guest. Guests will likely
--need to have a text console configured on the first
--serial port in the guest (this can be done via the --extra-args option). The
--command 'virsh console NAME' can be used to connect to the serial device.
--
--=item B<port>
--
--Request a permanent, statically assigned port number for the guest
--console. This is used by 'vnc' and 'spice'
--
--=item B<tlsport>
--
--Specify the spice tlsport.
--
--=item B<listen>
--
--Address to listen on for VNC/Spice connections. Default is typically 127.0.0.1
--(localhost only), but some hypervisors allow changing this globally (for
--example, the qemu driver default can be changed in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf).
--Use 0.0.0.0 to allow access from other machines.
--
--Use 'none' to specify that the display server should not listen on any
--port. The display server can be accessed only locally through
--libvirt unix socket (virt-viewer with --attach for instance).
--
--Use 'socket' to have the VM listen on a libvirt generated unix socket
--path on the host filesystem.
--
--This is used by 'vnc' and 'spice'
--
--=item B<keymap>
--
--Request that the virtual console be configured to run with a specific
--keyboard layout. If the special value 'local' is specified, virt-install
--will attempt to configure to use the same keymap as the local system. A value
--of 'none' specifically defers to the hypervisor. Default behavior is
--hypervisor specific, but typically is the same as 'local'. This is used
--by 'vnc' and 'spice'.
--
--=item B<password>
--
--Request a console password, required at connection time. Beware, this info may
--end up in virt-install log files, so don't use an important password. This
--is used by 'vnc' and 'spice'
--
--=item B<gl>
--
--Whether to use OpenGl accelerated rendering. Value is 'yes' or 'no'. This is
--used by 'spice'.
