Basic Operarions with virsh command
|
|
| [1] | Start Virtual Machine |
|
[root@dlp ~]#
[root@dlp ~]# virsh start fedora21 # Start Virtual Machine 'fedora21' Domain fedora21 started virsh start fedora21 --console # start and connect to console of 'fedora21' Domain fedora21 started Connected to domain fedora21 |
| [2] | Stop Virtual Machine |
|
[root@dlp ~]#
[root@dlp ~]# virsh shutdown fedora21 # Stop Virtual Machine 'fedora21' Domain fedora21 is being shutdown virsh destroy fedora21 # Stop fourcely Virtual Machine 'fedora21' Domain fedora21 destroyed |
| [3] | Set auto-start for Virtual Machines |
|
[root@dlp ~]#
[root@dlp ~]# virsh autostart fedora21 # Enable auto-start for 'fedora21' Domain fedora21 marked as autostarted virsh autostart --disable fedora21 # Disable auto-start for 'fedora21' Domain fedora21 unmarked as autostarted |
| [4] | List all Virtual Machines |
|
[root@dlp ~]# virsh list # List all active Virtual Machines Id Name State ---------------------------------------- 2 fedora21 running[root@dlp ~]# virsh list --all # List all Virtual Machines included inactives Id Name State ---------------------------------------- - fedora21 shut off - template shut off - Win2k12 shut off |
| [5] | Switch console Move to GuestOS to HostOS with Ctrl + ] key. Move to HostOS to GuestOS with a command 'virsh console (name of virtual machine)'. |
|
[root@dlp ~]# virsh console fedora21 # connect to 'fedora21'
