Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot): Installing KVM 2
Without any additional comments, we managed to install KVM over a fresh installation of Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot).
To do this we installed the following packages from the repositories and added our user to the libvirtd group.
We called kvm-ok to make sure that our hardware supports KVM properly and thus having better performance.
Installation Commands:
sudo apt-get install kvm libvirt-bin sudo adduser $USER libvirtd sudo apt-get install virt-viewer sudo apt-get install python-vm-builder sudo apt-get install bridge-utils sudo apt-get install virtinst #for cloning
After these we created a virtual machine with the following command:
sudo vmbuilder kvm ubuntu --suite oneiric --flavour virtual --arch amd64 --mem 1024 --cpus 2 -o --libvirt qemu:///system --ip 192.168.0.100 --hostname uranus --part vmbuilder.partition --user userName --name MyName MySurname --pass myPassword --addpkg unattended-upgrades --addpkg acpid --addpkg nano
where in general, what it does is, create an Ubuntu Oneiric Ocelot JeOS virtual machine that has an AMD64 architecture, 1GB of RAM, 2 Virtual CPUs, it’s name is uranus, has a user with the username userName, has pre-installed some applications like nano and enabled automatic updates for the system.
