virt-install

less than 1 minute read

My favorite RHEL5 feature by far is the new ‘virt-install’ utility. Being able to do a VM install by running:

virt-install -p --location=nfs:SOMESERVER:/PATH/TO/INSTALL/TREE --noautoconsole --file=/dev/LVM/VOLUME --name=FOO --ram=512 --vnc -x "ks=http://KSSERVER/KICKSTART.ks ip=IP netmask=NETMASK dns=DNS gateway=GW"

absolutely rocks.
