VIRT-IMAGE(1) Virtual Machine Install Tools VIRT-IMAGE(1)
NAME
virt-image - create virtual machines from an image descriptor
SYNOPSIS
virt-image [OPTION]... IMAGE.XML
DESCRIPTION
virt-image is a command line tool for creating virtual machines from an XML image descriptor "IMAGE.XML" (virt-image(5)). Most attributes
of the virtual machine are taken from the XML descriptor (e.g., where the files to back the virtual machine's disks are and how to map them
into the guest), though certain information must be added on the command line, such as the name of the guest.
The XML descriptor defines most attributes of the guest, making it possible to bundle and distribute it together with the files backing the
guest's disks.
OPTIONS
Most options can be omitted, in which case virt-image will use defaults from the XML descriptor. When defaults are taken from the XML
descriptor, they are indicated below as a path. --name is the only required command line option.
-h, --help
Show the help message and exit
--connect=CONNECT
Connect to a non-default hypervisor. See virt-install(1) for details
General Options
General configuration parameters that apply to all types of guest installs.
-n NAME, --name=NAME
Name of the guest instance
-r MEMORY, --ram=MEMORY
Memory to allocate for guest instance in megabytes. Defaults to "/image/devices/memory" in the XML descriptor.
-u UUID, --uuid=UUID
UUID for the guest; if none is given a random UUID will be generated. If you specify UUID, you should use a 32-digit hexadecimal number.
--vcpus=VCPUS
Number of vcpus to configure for your guest. Defaults to "/image/devices/vcpu" in the XML descriptor.
--check-cpu
Check that vcpus do not exceed physical CPUs and warn if they do.
--os-type=OS_TYPE
Optimize the guest configuration for a type of operating system (ex. 'linux', 'windows'). This will attempt to pick the most suitable
ACPI & APIC settings, optimally supported mouse drivers, virtio, and generally accommodate other operating system quirks. See
virt-install(1) for valid values.
--os-variant=OS_VARIANT
Further optimize the guest configuration for a specific operating system variant (ex. 'fedora8', 'winxp'). This parameter is optional,
and does not require an "--os-type" to be specified. See virt-install(1) for valid values.
Full Virtualization specific options
Parameters specific only to fully virtualized guest installs.
--noapic
Disables APIC for fully virtualized guest (overrides value in XML descriptor)
--noacpi
Disables ACPI for fully virtualized guest (overrides value in XML descriptor)
Networking Configuration
-m MAC, --mac=MAC
This is deprecated in favor of "--network ...,mac=MAC,..."
-b BRIDGE, --bridge=BRIDGE
This is deprecated in favor of "--network bridge=BRIDGE"
-w NETWORK, --network=NETWORK
Connect the guest to the host network. See virt-install(1) for details
Graphics Configuration
If no graphics option is specified, "virt-install" will default to --vnc if the DISPLAY environment variable is set, otherwise --nographics
is used.
--vnc
Setup a virtual console in the guest and export it as a VNC server in the host. See virt-install(1) for details
--vncport=VNCPORT
Request a permanent, statically assigned port number for the guest VNC console. See virt-install(1) for details
--vnclisten=VNCLISTEN
Address to listen on for VNC connections. See virt-install(1) for details.
-k KEYMAP, --keymap=KEYMAP
Request that the virtual VNC console be configured to run with a non-English keyboard layout.
--sdl
Setup a virtual console in the guest and display an SDL window in the host to render the output. See virt-install(1) for details
--nographics
Do not attach a graphical device to the guest. See virt-install(1) for details
Miscellaneous Options
-p, --print
Print the libvirt XML, but do not start the guest.
--boot=BOOT
The zero-based index of the boot record to use. The XML descriptor can contain multiple "/image/domain/boot" elements for use on
different hypervisors. By default, the one that is most appropriate for the current hypervisor is selected.
--replace
Shutdown and remove any existing guest with the passed "--name" before installing from the image.
--skip-checksum
Do not check disk images against checksums (if they are listed in the image xml).
-d, --debug
Print debugging information
--force
Prevent interactive prompts. If the intended prompt was a yes/no prompt, always say yes. For any other prompts, the application will
exit.
EXAMPLES
Create and start a guest called "example" with a VNC console from "image.xml":
# virt-image --name example --vnc -i image.xml
Print the libvirt XML for a guest called "example" without graphics, but do not create or start a virtual machine:
# virt-image --print --name example --nographics --image image.xml
