Fedora 18 KVM guest in Fedora 17 - few tips and tweaks
Making sure KVM tools not pointing to the wrong (vbox) URI I decided to try the Fedora 17 command line kvm (libvirtd) tools to create a Fedora 18 virtual machine. This was met with failure, although for some reason the GUI tool, virt-manager, worked fine for this purpose. (I still don't know why the GUI "just worked", when the command line did not - I guess it assumes the correct URI while the command line tools do not.) I was following the Fedora VM "Getting Started" guide found here and even the simplest commands resulted in failure. # virt-install --prompt ERROR Error in network device parameters: Virtual network 'default' does not exist: An error occurred, but the cause is unknown # virsh dumpxml default error: failed to get domain 'default' error: An error occurred, but the cause is unknown # virsh net-list --all Name State Autostart ---------------------------------------...
