Virtual Machines: ================= Before creating a virtual machine you need to upload iso files. Install ssh on your server (depends on distro type). Enable root access to ssh: vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config PermitRootLogin yes systemctl restart sshd Use filezilla and connect to server over SFTP using root account. Navigate to /volumes to find your storage pools and select a pool to store iso files. Create a folder called 'iso' in this storage pool and upload iso files there. To create a virtual machine click on Virtual Machines : Create Type in a name and select a storage pool. Then fill out the hardware options. Create disk, set boot order = 1. Add disk, navigate to where you uploaded your iso files and select one and set boot order = 2. Save. Now you can start the VM and click on 'Console' to interact with Virtual Machine. After installation you should shutdown the VM, edit it and remove the iso disk. Hardware: -------- OS Type : Linux, Windows Machine : pc (pci system), q35 (pcie system) Firmware : BIOS, UEFI TPM : None, 1.2, 2.0 Video : vmvga, vga, cirrus, virtio, bochs Devices: -------- You can add Network cards, Host devices and Controllers. Controllers are usually added as needed so you should not need to add them unless you need a specific model. The Address within the guest VM can be specified (domain,bus,slot,function). Operations: ----------- Create : Create a new VM : Create/add disks, hardware, etc. Edit : Edit VM disks and hardware setup. Console : View/interact with VM video screen. Monitor : View VM performance statistics. Start : Power on / resume a VM. Stop : Request VM to power down. Suspend : Pause VM by storing memory to disk. Restart : Forcefully restart VM. PowerOff : Forcefully power down VM. Migrate / Compute : Move a running or powered down VM to another host in the cluster. Migrate / Data : Move a powered down VM storage to another storage pool. Snapshots : Manage a VMs snapshots. Backup : Copy a VM to another remote host in the cluster. - VM must be powered off or running with at least one snapshot to allow a backup. - Performs a delta copy if VM already exists on remote host (similar to rsync). - Snapshots are not copied since they are in active use. Clone : Copy a powered down VM to another storage pool/folder. Unregister : Remove a powered down VM from the system. - Use storage explorer to find and register VM on this or another host.
