When shim in the guest sees unpopulated EFI NVRAM, like when we create a new UEFI VM, it invokes fallback.efi to populate initial NVRAM boot entries. When the guest also has a TPM device, shim will do a one time VM reset. This reset throws off the reboot detection that is central to virt-install's install process. The main install case that this will usually be relevant is the combo of UEFI and --cloud-init. The latter usually implies use of a distro cloud image, which will be using shim, and the --cloud-init process requires a multi stage install compared to just a plain import install. For that case, we disable the default TPM device for the first boot. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2133525 Signed-off-by: Cole Robinson <crobinso@redhat.com>
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 machinesvirt-clone: Duplicate existing libvirt virtual machinesvirt-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 ...
