Learning Objectives
Successfully complete this lab by achieving the following learning objectives:
- Find the Name of the Virtual Machine on the Server
- Sudo into the root user:
[cloud_user@host]$ sudo -i - List the installed virtual machines:
[root@host]# virsh list --all
- Sudo into the root user:
- Start the VM
- Start the VM:
[root@host]# virsh start centos7.0
- Start the VM:
- Determine the Location and Names of the Files that the VM Contains
- Look at the configuration of an individual VM by running:
[root@host]# virsh edit centos7.0 - What we’ll see is an XML file. Sections labled
diskcontain the source file for all the disks allocated to the VM. We should see references to files in/var/lib/libvirt/images/, includingcentos7.0.
- Look at the configuration of an individual VM by running:
