Creating KVM-based VM With Virt-manager And Virt-install On C7
Hi folks,
for learning purposes I create KVM-based VM with the virt-manager. Later I get rid of the VM and repeat the “process” again. When recreating the VM I always enter the same values into the wizard in virt-manager (i.e. I want to speicfy a given MAC).
I’d like to “automate” this procedure, all of what I do in virt-manager for creating the new VM, I’ d like to do it with a bash script using virt-install.
I’ wndering if it is possible to “record” the values when I enter them into virt-manager and extract those values for usage with virt-install?
It’s not clear to me when I enter a field in the wizard what is the corresponding parameter in virt-install.
Regards,
Meikel

Hi,
I think your looking for:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/virtualization_deployment_and_administration_guide/sect-domain_commands-creating_a_virtual_machine_xml_dump_configuration_file
After you have built the a VM in virt-manager say, with ith this XML
file you can recreate the same VM, modify if needed and create other VMs etc.
