This will determine if the virt tools/libosinfo can detect an OS from your ISO media or CDROM. Feel free to try this with as many ISOs as you've got kicking around, and file a bug against libosinfo if the output doesn't match the expected results.
- Pre-release landing page, has torrents etc: https://fedoraproject.org/get-prerelease
- Server DVD: https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/test/21-Alpha/Server/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Server-DVD-x86_64-21_Alpha.iso
- Workstation Live CD: https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/test/21-Alpha/Workstation/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Live-Workstation-x86_64-21_Alpha-1.iso
sudo virt-install --test-media-detection /path/to/your/media.iso
virt-manager
- Run virt-manager (should autoconnect to qemu)
- Launch the 'New VM' wizard
- Choose 'Local Install Media'
- Select your ISO media.
- If virt-install detected your media in the above step, verify the UI automatically selects the same distro.
- Proceed through the wizard, using the default suggested values. On the final page, use the VM name: test-day-vm
- Start the install, and perform the install as you would on a normal machine.
virt-install
An example virt-install invocation looks like:
$> virt-install --name test-day-vm --ram 2048 --disk size=10 \
--cdrom /path/to/my/media.iso --os-variant fedora21
If virt-install detected your media in the above step, the --os-variant value isn't strictly required.
Also for virt-install, the ISO media needs to be in a location that is accessible by the 'qemu' user, otherwise the emulator won't be able to access it. A good place to put the iso is /var/lib/libvirt/images
Expected Results
- Guest installations start and perform without any issues.
- Guest is bootable after install completes.
