Virt Install 0.300.3 (Default branch) |
|
|
Virt Install is a command line tool built on top
of libvirt that facilitates installation of
virtual machines. It supports installation of
fully-virtualized Xen guest machines for arbitrary
operating systems and installation of Xen
paravirtualized Fedora/RHEL operating systems. The
tool takes care of fetching the guest kernels,
creating file based disk images, and booting the
guest operating system installer media.

Changes:
When probing for OS distribution type, the tool now tests for the existence of files rather than fetching the entire file. RFC-compliant NFS URIs are accepted and converted where needed. When probing for Red Hat distribution variants, the "treeinfo" file is sought to determine initrd/kernel locations. User friendly errors are shown instead of stack traces, and bogus libvirt error messages are hidden from the console. A --noreboot flag was added to virt-install to prevent the automatic reboot at the end of install. The libvirt capabilities XML is used to determine the guest types supported by a hypervisor. A --force option was added to prevent any interactive prompting.
