Description

Setting up the Kernel-based Virtual Machine including network configuration and beeing able to create and run new machines as a normal user without requiring root privileges.

Packages

Template:Box Code

Template:Box Code

USE-Flags

Template:Box File

Installation

# # emerge kvm

Kernel Configuration

Template:Box Kernel

Network configuration

Template:Box File

# # /etc/init.d/
# # ln -s net.lo net.br0
# # ln -s net.lo net.tap0
# # rc-update add net.br0 default
# # rc-update add net.tap0 default

Template:Box File

# # rc-update add vde default


Add user to the necessary groups

# # usermod -a -G kvm,qemu username

Usage

Generate random MAC adresses

$ # echo -n DE:AD:BE:EF ; for i in `seq 1 2` ; do echo -n `echo ":$RANDOM$RANDOM"


You can always setup new machines in your home directory, but here we assume we have a separate mount-point/partition which we mount at /mnt/kvm.


$ # mkdir -p /mnt/kvm


Template:Box File


# # chown -R root:kvm /mnt/kvm
# # chmod -R g+w /mnt/kvm
$ # kvm-img create -f qcow2 /mnt/kvm/linux-test.img 15G
$ {{{1}}}


$ # kvm-img create -f qcow2 /mnt/kvm/windows-test.img 15G
$ {{{1}}}

Once done installing and after enabling the remote desktop access in Windows you can add the -nographic switch and start the kvm machine via a login script for example.
