Cole Robinson f27e203732 cli: Skip MAC collision error with --check mac_in_use=
There's valid cases where a VM can be defined with a conflicting MAC
address. Prior to  ebd6091cc8 and related refactorings we were more
lax here if the conflicting VM wasn't running, but now we are blocking
some valid usage.

Hoist the validation check up to cli.py and add --check mac_in_use=off
to skip the validation. Advertise it like we do for other checks, so
now a collision error will look something like:

The MAC address '22:11:11:11:11:11' is in use by another virtual
machine. (Use --check mac_in_use=off or --check all=off to override)

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 ...
