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.
