Preface

Welcome to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Virtualization Guide. This guide covers all aspects of using

and managing virtualization products included with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

This book is divided into 7 parts:

• System Requirements

• Installation

• Configuration

• Administration

• Reference

• Troubleshooting

• Appendixes

Key terms and concepts used throughout this book are covered in the Glossary.

1. Document Conventions

This manual uses several conventions to highlight certain words and phrases and draw attention to

specific pieces of information.

In PDF and paper editions, this manual uses typefaces drawn from the Liberation Fonts

set. The

Liberation Fonts set is also used in HTML editions if the set is installed on your system. If not,

alternative but equivalent typefaces are displayed. Note: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and later includes

the Liberation Fonts set by default.

1.1. Typographic Conventions

Four typographic conventions are used to call attention to specific words and phrases. These

conventions, and the circumstances they apply to, are as follows.

Mono-spaced Bold

Used to highlight system input, including shell commands, file names and paths. Also used to highlight

keycaps and key combinations. For example:

To see the contents of the file my_next_bestselling_novel in your current

working directory, enter the cat my_next_bestselling_novel command at the

shell prompt and press Enter to execute the command.

The above includes a file name, a shell command and a keycap, all presented in mono-spaced bold

and all distinguishable thanks to context.

Key combinations can be distinguished from keycaps by the hyphen connecting each part of a key

combination. For example:

Press Enter to execute the command.
