# libvirt

|
|
|
## virtio drivers for Windows guests
|
|
|
|
* https://github.com/virtio-win/virtio-win-pkg-scripts/blob/master/README.md
|
|
|
|
## Create storage pool
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# mkdir /var/lib/libvirt/Appliances
|
|
# virsh pool-define-as Appliances --type dir --target /var/lib/libvirt/Appliances
|
|
# virsh pool-start Appliances
|
|
|
|
# virsh pool-autostart Appliances
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or use GUI...
|
|
|
|
## Import OVA into libvirt/KVM
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# virt-v2v \
|
|
-i ova /root/third_party_appliance.ova \
|
|
-o libvirt -of qcow2 \
|
|
-os Appliances -n default
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The options read as:
|
|
|
|
* `-i ova /root/third_party_appliance.ova` == input is an ova file called `/root/third_party_appliance.ova`
|
|
* `-o libvirt -of qcow2` == output a libvirt VM in a qcow2 file format
|
|
* `-os Appliances` == place the output VM in the Appliances pool
|
|
* `-n default` == configure the VM to use the default network
|
|
|
|
