If graphics were enabled, a VNC window will open and present the graphical installer. If graphics were not enabled, a text installer will appear. Proceed with the Fedora installation. Open a connection to a hypervisor by navigating to File Add connection.

After a connection is opened, click the new icon next to the hypervisor, or right-click on the active hypervisor and select New. Click Finish at the end of the wizard to provision the guest operating system. After a few moments a VNC window will appear. When the installation of the guest operating system is complete, it can be managed using the virt-manager program or via command line using virsh.

Choose the host you wish to manage and click Connect in the Open Connection dialog window. The list of virtual machines is displayed in the main window. Guests that are not running will be greyed out. To manage a particular guest, double click on it, or right click and select Open. A new window for the guest will open that will allow you to use its console, see information about its virtual hardware and start, stop, and pause it.

For further information about virt-manager , see RedHat virt-manager guide. Bugs in the virt-manager tool should be reported in Bugzilla against the virt-manager component. The virsh command-line utility allows you to manage virtual machines on the command line. The virsh utility is built around the libvirt management API:. Bugs in the virsh tool should be reported in Bugzilla against the libvirt component.

If using root for access via SSH, then create SSH keys for root, and use ssh-agent and ssh-add before launching virt-manager. To use TLS, set up a local certificate authority and issue x certs to all servers and clients.

OpenStack consists of a number of services for running infrastructure as a service IaaS clouds. The oVirt project is an open virtualization project providing a end-to-end, server virtualization management system with advanced capabilities for hosts and guests, including high availability, live migration, storage management, system scheduler, and more.

Enabling hardware virtualization support This section covers setting up libvirt on your system. System requirements To run virtualization on Fedora, you need:.

If wanting to to use file-backed domUs, nothing special even there. Have a look here for more details about this. People who would like to test the very latest virtualization related packages coming from Fedora rawhide can enable the Virtualization Preview Repository please, notice that Fedora discourages doing this in 'production' deployments.

Fedora Core 21 and later should have most all issues resolved. As a part of that, it also create a new GRUB2 boot menu entry. Once the installation is complete, just reboot and select "Xen 4. If on Fedora 18 and 19, you will likely see something like "Xen 4. If on Fedora 16 or 17, it will have "Xen 4. It is also possible that you only see something like "Fedora, with Xen hypervisor", and that is also ok. Networking deserves some special attention.

That is why, from Xen Project 4. More on this matter down in the page. In case of any networking issues, or if you want to manually manage the network configuration, disabling NetworkManager is necessary e. This is particularly true if you do not plan to install and use the typical Fedora virtualization tools, like libvirt , etc.

In fact, libvirt automatically creates a bridge and sets up the VMs created via its interface s to use it by default. On the other hand, if not using libvirt, the bridge has to be created by hand. Also, make sure that the network service is kicked off automatically on subsequent restarts by running:. Next, create the configuration file for the bridge.

The most common bridge name is br0, so let's stick to that although other Xen Project documentation suggests using xenbr0 to make it obvious that the bridge is for the hypervisor :. Next, you need to find the configuration file for your existing network adaptor. It's most likely named ifcfg-eth0 or ifcfg-em0 the part after the dash can and does change depending on the actual hardware.

Once you know what config file you're using, open it, find the line. Note that in earlier versions of Fedora prior to 21 , libvirt with xen would always assume that the default bridge was 'xenbr0'.
