      To do that....

      Edit...

      sudo vi /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf

      And set...

      user = "root" group = "root"

      And then...

      sudo systemctl restart libvirtd

      @EddieJennings said in MacVTap Modes:

      One option I didn't see in the redhat doc was openvswitch. Don't they support it?

      The link I posted was for RHEL 6. I just now saw that RHEL 8's documentation is online. I glanced through it and didn't see that mentioned. I'll read it more closely tomorrow.

      https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html/configuring_and_managing_virtualization/configuring-virtual-machine-network-connections_configuring-and-managing-virtualization

      There's no mention of openvswitch anywhere in that document. I am aware of XenServer and XCP-ng uses it by default. So its possible RHEL just prefers using macvlan/macvtap instead of openvswitch.

      EvTouch USB Graphics Tablet is the default when selecting Server 2019 config template.

      That's the one.

      And the template didn't load properly when we selected it! It kept going back to Alpine!

      @stacksofplates said in Spin VMs quickly with KVM + virt-sysprep:

      I usually use virt-builder to build the image, and then I can clone from that. Then you have nice really small images to build from.

      Have you ever created your own repo using virt-builder-repository?

      No I've always pulled from upstream. I've honestly never looked into that before.

      One downside to KVM (in virt-manager) is lack of snapshots for UEFI VMs.

      @black3dynamite said in Converting VMware VMs to KVM:

      I haven't been keeping up with Windows Admin Center for awhile. Was that an option to manage Hyper-V?

      It will be, but I'm not sure that it is yet. We've tried and not been able to get it working even internally anywhere, let alone externally. Once they figure out stability and authentication, I assume that it will be great for that. Being that this is 2016, it's going to suck hard. And if there is a Hyper-V issue, WAC would be down which is a problem in a small environment like this.

      @stacksofplates said in Automated Provisioning - KVM & CM tools:

      Terraform will do this and I have an Ansible role to do it also.
      As @IRJ mentioned Vagrant will work also. However I feel Terraform is a better fit as you have more control over the specific pieces of your infrastructure.

      You would still prefer Terraform over Ansible for this as well?

      Yeah. My role can create the VMs, but Terraform had more functionality for that. Ansible overlaps in the infrastructure provisioning space a lot, but it lacks keeping states like Terraform does.

      I'd like to learn both. I just started with Ansible a day or two ago. I have been (and still am) using SaltStack.

      So this is ridiculous, but we just found out that it is actually 2003 R2, not 2000. So I assume that this will be way better.

      I had a ton of issues getting mine to work - I had to run chkdsk like 15 times before it finally booted... I don't recall what migration tool I used.

      @stacksofplates said in KVM on Fedora 30, Error creating virtual network:

      Can you create it with virsh? Wondering if it's just a virt-manager issue since they are deprecating it.

      Over my dead body. I love virt-manager they kick that out and I will be kicking them out. not everyone wants web gui using resources and being inefficient with VNC protocol and opening another port.

      The web gui hardly use enough resources for you to even notice.

      I do agree, cause I have split personality but that said I still want virt-manager to be around. It is very mature and snappy.

      Deprecated is probably the same as how ifconfig is deprecated it will be around forever.

      @fuznutz04 no he's saying you can only assign it in VM or via CLI. You still create your team.

      I think he is actually saying, you can create the NIC team in Cockpit. (You can, I did it already), but you then just assign that team, via the VM Guest settings. ...I think.

      For what's it's worth, that is what I said.

      1 .So can ovirt be run with only 2 nodes?
      2. With those 2 nodes, do you need a separate shared storage device for live migrations, etc, or can you have local storage (Like "vsan")?

      @Francesco-Provino said in virt-manager for Windows:

      @scottalanmiller you don’t want a GUI on the virtualization host, ever. Just spin a VM with virt-manager and launch it on your local machine with xming or one of the other solutions in the other comments.

      Right, bypassing Windows can be an option, but it's a crappy one. But I got it working directly on Windows, so no need for a heavy VM for one app.

      it relies on DNS (or hosts files) to resolve itself and generate SSL certs, this has to work before you install the engine. If it did work, and you still get this error, this is a bug

      @dyasny said in KVM/QEMU DNS:

      libvirt has dnsmasq built in, to serve DHCP. It can also be configured to serve DNS to the libvirt NAT network, and the host.

      This is an example of a working configuration: https://fabianlee.org/2018/10/22/kvm-using-dnsmasq-for-libvirt-dns-resolution/

      Pretty cool. Thanks.
