kvm-manager
We use kvm-manager to create, start and stop virtual guests.
Starting with stretch
, we are using the new systemd tools in kvm-manager which are documented below.
- Add guest user to the kvm group. I'm not sure why this is now required so have not automated it yet...
adduser $guest kvm
- Start a guest:
systemctl start kvm@$guest.service
- Stop a guest:
systemctl stop kvm@$guest.service
(command will wait until service exits) - Enable a guest to start at boot time:
systemctl enable kvm@$guest.service
- Prevent a guest from starting at boot time:
systemctl disable kvm@$guest.service
- Debug:
journalctl -u kvm@$guest.service
To test out process manually:
As root:
kvm-setup $guest
As the guest user:
kvm-start $guest kvm-stop $guest
As root:
kvm-teardown $guest
