- ConfiguringVmServices

Introduction

This page describes several procedures which AlexisHuxley uses to configure and test VM services on his network. The actual installation of VM software, etc is covered by MDI.

Procedure: configuring a default storage pool

1. Create /tmp/default-pool.xml containing:

   <pool type='dir'>
     <name>default</name>
     <target>
       <path>/var/lib/libvirt/images</path>
     </target>
   </pool> 

2. Run:

   virsh pool-define /tmp/default-pool.xml
   virst pool-start default 

   (Note that, almost certainly, the pool should not be started automatically: pacemaker or VM-management scripts should take care of this.)
