Hi,
Thanks for the information i'll try this ..
How to create a kvm image from machine which already has the kvm setup
and virt-manager ..?
So far I was using the images created for KVM for the VM .. now I want to
create a kvm image my self from iso image ...
regards
Bala
You're welcome.
As for images, use % virsh; and 'vol-create-as', or % qemu-img; command.
% virsh -c qemu:///system ; and ' virsh # help vol-create-as ;' for
details about this command.
There is also % qemu-img;, however do not do things behind libvirt's
back or it will backfire on you.
I highly recommend to use either some cli tool/scripts eg. for VM
definition or virt-manager or some other GUI tool. It makes your life
easier and things go faster(and sometimes smoother).
