Prerequisites
Installing a guest manually consists of installing the guest and then configuring the vhost interface for the guest.
Before proceeding with installing the guest manually, ensure that the following prerequisites are met:
- Copy the disk image of the guest in QCOW2 format to the /var/lib/libvirt/images folder.
- Run the generate virtualization uuid operational command to obtain a universally unique identifier (UUID) for the guest. For example:
vyatta@vyatta:~$ generate virtualization uuid a885d67d-aa2f-4478-92f0-d50ae2018033 vyatta@vyatta:~$ - Run the generate virtualization random-mac operational mode command to obtain a MAC address for the guest. For example:
vyatta@vyatta:~$ generate virtualization random-mac 52:54:00:7a:ed:43 vyatta@vyatta:~$
