Although virt-manager is a GUI based tool, we also could launch/start it from terminal as well as from GUI. One of this tools called which we use in the next section.Ħ. Step 2: Create VMs using KVMĪs we mentioned early, we have some useful tools to manage our virtual platform and creating virtual machines. Now, lets switch to the next section to create our virtual machines. Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/rvice enabled)Īctive: active (running) since Mon 15:48:46 EET 14s ago
Sample Output rvice - Virtualization daemon After restarting the daemon, then check its status by running following command.
