So, i like doing custom a LiveImage of my OS.
Using Redhats kickstart/livecd-creator method.
Anyway, so i would like to test the liveimages...
AND also, i WOULD like to install FreeBSD, Solaris, or whatever, onto a Virtual Machine.
I used to use Oracles Virtualbox, but eversince i'm booting with SecureBoot enabled, i'm no longer able to start it, so i had to change to QEMU.
Now, to just 'test' if the fresh generated iso is 'working' or not, QEMU is just fine.
But if i ever want to actualy do in QEMU, like, switching desktop, or changing the folder in pcmanfm inside QEMU, it needs patience out of this world...
I'm running my ISO's like this:
And to 'install' or run an intalled image i execute:
As you see, i'm quite, sharing?, with my hardware for qemu...
4 Cores and 4 GB of ram, but booting an ISO (same for installed) takes up to ~7mins, when with O-VB it was as low as ~1min -- using 768mb ram and 70% of 1 core....
Doing a mouse click and wait for like 20 secs for ANYTHING to happen, is just annoying.

VMWARE2LIBVIRT:(1) System Administration Utilities VMWARE2LIBVIRT:(1)NAME
vmware2libvirt - vmware vmx to libvirt xml converter
SYNOPSIS
vmware2libvirt [-q] -f FILE
DESCRIPTION
This program outputs a libvirt xml file based on an existing vmware vmx file
OPTIONS --version
show program's version number and exit
-h, --help
show this help message and exit
-q, --qemu
use qemu instead of kvm
-f FILE, --file=FILE
vmware vmx file to convert
USAGE
To start using a pre-existing vmware image with libvirt, you simply copy the vmware .vmx file and .vmdk file to a new directory. Then do:
vmware2libvirt -f ./file.vmx > file.xml
virsh -c qemu:///system define file.xml
At this point, your vmware image should be available to libvirt.
CAVEATS
vmware2libvirt currently will use the first scsi disk if found, otherwise the first ide disk. It will also use the first ethernet interface
found.
