Desktop tool for managing virtual machines via libvirt
eede884554
The XML we use is:
<clock offset="utc">
<timer name="rtc" tickpolicy="catchup"/>
<timer name="pit" tickpolicy="delay"/>
<timer name="hpet" present="no"/>
</clock>
Which translates to the qemu commands:
-no-hpet -no-kvm-pit-reinjection -rtc driftfix=slew
The latter two bits are already used by openstack and gnome boxes by
default.
On RHEL hpet is compiled out so -no-hpet is the default,
but not everywhere else. Though recently the RH guys confirmed that
for regular usage it should be turned off because a) qemu support
is not that good, b) most users don't need it anyways c) it has
a performance penalty.
This default can be overridden from a virt-install command like
--clock rtc_tickpolicy=delay
When Guest() sees that a timer has already been defined, it won't
set the new defaults, and that setting above is the old implied
default rtc setting.

Virtual Machine Manager ======================= This application provides a graphical tool for managing virtual machines via the libvirt library. The front end of the application uses the GTK / Glade libraries for all user interaction components. The back end uses libvirt for managing Qemu/KVM and Xen virtual machines, as well as LXC containers. The UI is primarily tested with KVM, but is intended to be reasonably portable to any virtualization backend libvirt supports. Pre-requisite software ====================== virt-manager was ported to GTK3 at the beginning of 2013. Older GTK3 or pygobject3 versions likely will not work for running virt-manager. Earliest tested versions of major components: python >= 2.6 gtk3 >= 3.6 libvirt-python >= 0.4.0 pygobject3 >= 3.4 A more detailed dependency list can be found in virt-manager.spec.in. Contact ======= All comments / suggestions / patches should be directed to the virt-tools-list mailing list: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/virt-tools-list For IRC we use #virt on OFTC.
