Disclaimer :

I now use virt-manager to create and manage my VM and it is really a life saver. It can be used remotely (from a third machine, typically your workstation) if the host does not have graphical display.

The occurrences of vnc in the installation tutorials I found made me think that the "recommended" procedure required X stuff either on host, guest or both. Absolutely not. My mistake. If you are in the same situation, think twice before trying to install the VM from command line.

I'm trying to install a Debian VM in a Debian host using virt-install and I don't know how to pass it the .iso image.

virt-install --connect qemu:///system --virt-type kvm --name prod --ram 6144 --disk /srv/vm/prod.qcow,format=qcow2,size=10 --location=/home/jerome/debian-8.0.0-amd64-netinst.iso --network bridge=br0 --os-type linux --os-variant debianwheezy --extra-args='console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8 serial'

If it was, you can restart your domain by running:

The solutions I have seen seem quite twisted, like using apache to serve locally the .iso image as if it was from a distant place.

• Linux Mint 14 : install Ubuntu 12.10 Server within KVM via CLI ( no GUI )


• 
  [Xen-users] installing a vm with virt-install (It is Xen but it looks like it is the same issue anyway.

I can't believe it is that complicated. Is it?

man virt-install says:

If you want to use those options with CDROM media, you have a few options:



         * Run virt-install as root and do --location ISO



         * Mount the ISO at a local directory, and do --location DIRECTORY



         * Mount the ISO at a local directory, export that directory over local http, and do --location http://localhost/DIRECTORY

Isn't this what I'm doing?

Someone says he moved the .iso to /cdrom and it worked but I didn't understand exactly what he did and I couldn't reproduce.

I cannot use --cdrom instead of --location as in this question because --extra-args only work if specified with --location.

virt-install --connect qemu:///system --virt-type kvm --name prod --ram 6144 --disk /srv/vm/prod.qcow,format=qcow2,size=10 --cdrom=/home/jerome/debian-8.0.0-amd64-netinst.iso --network bridge=br0 --os-type linux --os-variant debianwheezy --extra-args='console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8 serial'

ERROR    --extra-args only work if specified with --location. See the man page for examples of using --location with CDROM media

It works with --location http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/installer-amd64/ but isn't it a bit of a shame to do this when an .iso image is available locally?

• Loss of traceability : you can't reproduce later being sure you get the exact same source.




• Multiplicated use of bandwidth from servers/mirrors.




• Need for internet access.




• Slower.

virt-install tries to extract kernel and initrd files from the ISO image. With --debug you can see the whole activities of it including loop-mounting, searching for those files, etc.

I suppose virt-install doesn't support Debian netinst ISO images with --location (but somehow Ubuntu supported?).

To boot a kernel with --extra-args, virt-install needs to have those kernel and corresponding initrd files. --cdrom simply attaches ISO to the guest's CD drive, that's insufficient to work with --extra-args.

If you want use --extra-args, I recommend you to use "netboot" kernel/initrd files by specifying Debian installer URL of your nearest mirror, like --location http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/installer-amd64/ as described in the manual.

This method worked for me:

virt-install --name=centos 

--memory=8196 --vcpus=2 

--location=/var/lib/libvirt/images/CentOS-7-x86_64-Minimal-1511.iso 

--disk /var/lib/libvirt/images/centos7.qcow2,device=disk,bus=virtio,size=8 

--network bridge:br0 

--os-type=linux  

--nographics 

--extra-args='console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8 serial'

The difference is in the iso files that are used.

It's not related to the way virt-install is used (--location used with http URL versus --location used with path to a local iso file).

Here's a command that works when using the Debian online repositories as --location (including getting output to complete the installation until first boot (then two other steps are necessary to finally get into the new VM, but that's another story):

virt-install --virt-type kvm --name test8 --memory 2048 --disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/test8-1.qcow2,size=5 --disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/test8-2.qcow2,size=2 --location http://ftp.at.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/installer-amd64/ --graphics none --extra-args='console tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8 serial'

You can take the exact same command, but using the above mentioned Centos ISO file as --location, and it works as well (except that the connection to the serial console does not seem to work at first, but in principle the installation starts using --location and the ISO file):

virt-install --virt-type kvm --name test8 --memory 2048 --disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/test8-1.qcow2,size=5 --disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/test8-2.qcow2,size=2 --location /softwarestorage/CentOS-7-x86_64-Minimal-1511.iso --graphics none --extra-args='console tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8 serial'

Output is:

Connected to domain test8

Escape character is ^]

But if you use the Debian ISO file for --location, you get the error:

virt-install --virt-type kvm --name test8 --memory 2048 --disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/test8-1.qcow2,size=5 --disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/test8-2.qcow2,size=2 --location /softwarestorage/debian-8.5.0-amd64-CD-1.iso --graphics none --extra-args='console tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8 serial'

ERROR    Could not find an installable distribution at '/softwarestorage/debian-8.5.0-amd64-CD-1.iso'

The location must be the root directory of an install tree.

Domain installation does not appear to have been successful.

If it was, you can restart your domain by running:

  virsh --connect qemu:///system start test8

otherwise, please restart your installation.

IMHO this proves that there's something missing / anything "wrong" with the Debian ISO (not sure at the moment where i got it from, but maybe someone can download a fresh one and repeat the tests...)

It's ugly, especially if you want to use kickstart files, but here's what I did to get this process going:

root@kvm:~# virt-install -n rhce2 -r 2048 --vcpus=1 --os-variant=rhel6 --accelerate -v --disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/RHCE2.img,size=100 -l /root/centos6.7.iso -x "ks=./ks1.cfg" --nographics

The basic difference between what I did and what you did is that I used the --location tag (-l for short) to point to my iso.

recently ran into this issue. Simply used a remote installer with --location. I must emphasise that depending on your virsh version, links for remote installers may be outdated in the man page.

I just followed this example and everything ran smoothly: https://www.packet.com/developers/guides/kvm-and-libvirt/

In my case, I changed 'xenial' for 'bionic' in http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial/main/installer-amd64/ and the installation went through. Going to use this method every time from now on.

The following worked for me installing Debian 10 from an Ubuntu 16.04 host system:

cd /usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/
