Creating guests with virt-manager

Figure 6.1. Virtual Machine Manager window

4. New VM wizard

The New VM wizard breaks down the guest creation process into five steps:

1. Naming the guest and choosing the installation type

2. Locating and configuring the installation media

3. Configuring memory and CPU options

4. Configuring the guest's storage

5. Configuring networking, hypervisor type, architecture, and other hardware settings

Ensure that virt-manager can access the installation media (whether locally or over the

network).

5. Specify name and installation type

The guest creation process starts with the selection of a name and installation type. Virtual

machine names can have underscores (_), periods (.), and hyphens (-).
