Installation guide

Creating guests with virt-manager

Network Boot (PXE)

This method uses a Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE) server to install the guest. Setting

up a PXE server is covered in the Deployment Guide. To install via network boot, the guest

must have a routable IP address or shared network device. For information on the required

networking configuration for PXE installation, refer to Chapter 10, Network Configuration.

Import existing disk image

This method allows you to create a new guest and import a disk image (containing a pre-

installed, bootable operating system) to it.

Click Forward to continue.

6. Configure installation

Next, configure the OS type and Version of the installation. Except for network booting, this step

also requires further configuration (depending on your chosen installation method). When using

local install media or importing an existing disk image, you need to specify the location of the

installation media or disk image.
