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
USE-Flags
Installation
# # emerge kvm
Kernel Configuration
Network configuration
# # /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
# # 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
# # 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

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.
