Cole Robinson 7547905d79 virtManager: Remove max memory UI and memory hotplug support
This was proposed here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/virt-tools-list/2019-June/msg00117.html

"""
* UI maxmem and maxcpu notions, and related memballoon and cpu hotplug
operations. These have been in the UI forever but I'm not sure people
actually use them. cpu hotplug has always been a mess, and unless the
user plans ahead by setting a high maxmem value ballooning is only good
for reducing memory. These all sound like advanced usage to me that
just confuses the typical usecase of adding more mem or vcpus to an
offline VM. And the hotplug operations with virsh are simple to invoke.
So I'd like to drop this from the UI
"""

The remaining field sets both max and current memory in the
inactive XML

Virtual Machine Manager

virt-manager is a graphical tool for managing virtual machines via libvirt. Most usage is with QEMU/KVM virtual machines, but Xen and libvirt LXC containers are well supported. Common operations for any libvirt driver should work.

Several command line tools are also provided:

  • virt-install: Create new libvirt virtual machines
  • virt-clone: Duplicate existing libvirt virtual machines
  • virt-xml: Edit existing libvirt virtual machines/manipulate libvirt XML

For dependency info and installation instructions, see the INSTALL.md file. If you just want to quickly test the code from a git checkout, you can launch any of the commands like:

./virt-manager --debug ...
