This bundle provides the software needed to run virtual machines.
|
|
|
|
QEMU
|
|
====
|
|
|
|
|CL| provides :abbr:`QEMU (Quick Emulator)` to perform hardware virtualization.
|
|
When possible, qemu would be used together with
|
|
:abbr:`KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine)` in order to run virtual machines at
|
|
near-native speed.
|
|
|
|
For more information about how to use qemu, please refer to `qemu.org`_
|
|
|
|
virsh
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
|CL| provides the virsh program to manage `libvirt`_ guests and the hypervisor.
|
|
libvirtd management daemon is not enabled nor started by default. To enable
|
|
the hypervisor, perform the following commands as root.
|
|
|
|
#. Enable the service to start every time the machine boots.
|
|
This step is optional
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
# systemctl enable libvirtd.service
|
|
|
|
#. Start the libvirtd management daemon service
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
# systemctl start libvirtd.service
|
|
|
|
Congratulations! The libvirtd management daemon is running and virsh is ready
|
|
to be used.
