thanks so much, Alex. it works for me now!
it turns out i uninstalled the dnsmasq, but it seems there is
dependency on it (why we need dnsmasq, anyway?).
Libvirt uses dnsmasq to serve DHCP
for the virtual network, IMHO, you
should see the following
link carefully again, it's a good guide for troubleshoting your
'default' virtual network:
http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Virtual_network_%27default%27_has_not_been_s...
so i reinstalled it
again, but then disable dnsmasq service. then the default virtual
network works.
a quesiton: i imported the existent KVM image with command:
virt-install --connect qemu:///system -n winxp -r 800 --accelerate
--vnc -v --noautoconsole --import -f /home/jun/img/img.winxp
but this is not really correct, as the above command doesnt do something for me:
(1) it doesnt tell the image format (qcow2 in my case)
Libvirt doesn't
autodetect storage format due to potential security issue,
so you need to explicitly specify 'format' to qcow2, otherwise, defaults to
raw format, for example:
% virt-install --connect qemu:///system -n winxp -r 800 --accelerate
--vnc -v --noautoconsole --disk /home/jun/img/img.winxp,format=qcow2
--import
For details, please see virt-install man page.
(2) it doesnt setup the mouse cursor (-usb -usbdevice tablet)
(3) it doesnt tell the network card model.
There are some default value for these,
please see virt-install man page
carefully.
so questions are:
(1) can i tell virt-install of of above info? i looked at the
virt-install manual, but dont see anywhere to do that.
Yes, you can, see
'Device Options' and 'Networking Configuration'
section in man page.
(2) in case virt-install cannot do that, i guess i must use another
tool to modify /etc/libvirt/qemu/winxp.xml to reflect my requirement.
but then i tried virt-manager (0.9.1), and it doesnt even let me
modify the configuration of my domain.
so which tool should i use to modify available libvirt domain?
If you only want to
modify domain configuration, virsh edit should be
enough, libvirt provides a group of users layer virsh commands, you
may also use virsh commands to operate libvirt such as installation
a guest.
Alex
thanks again!
