Specifications

You can use virsh to convert a domain name to a UUID:

virsh domuuid [domain-id | domain-uuid]

14. Displaying Virtual Machine Information

You can use virsh to display information for a given virtual machine identified by its domain ID,

domain name, or UUID:

virsh dominfo [domain-id | domain-name | domain-uuid]

15. Displaying Node Information

You can use virsh to display node information:

virsh nodeinfo

The outputs displays something similar to:

CPU model x86_64

CPU (s) 8

CPU frequency 2895 Mhz

CPU socket(s) 2

Core(s) per socket 2

Threads per core: 2

Numa cell(s) 1

Memory size: 1046528 kb

This displays the node information and the machines that support the virtualization process.

16. Displaying the Virtual Machines

You can use virsh to display the virtual machine list and the current state:

virsh list domain-name [ ——inactive | —— -all]

The ——inactive option lists inactive domains (domains that have been defined but are not

currently active). The — -all domain lists all domains, whether active or not. Your output

should resemble the this example:
