Can i trouble you for to do this, and paste the contents:

virsh dumpxml GuestID > guest.xml

and provide us the xml ? Since it seem you have this installed.

The vm's I have do not use the the /var/lib... default location.
Do you still want the xml?

Not played with this for a long time. Might be time to get it installed again.

Yes it is

  <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/>

<controller type='scsi' index='0' model='virtio-scsi'>

Nice, they are using the correct drivers from the start. All VirtIO paravirtual drivers, no emulated crap like e1000.

That means for windows OS you need to configure the VirtIO drivers prior, but this is much better for performance

Yup but not latest version so there are missing features,

yum -y update
yum install cockpit
yum install cockpit-machines # Optional for KVM Managing
https://server-ip:9090

You can install the beta version of it here:
http://pldelisle.no-ip.info:8090/display/HomeNetwork/Install+Cockpit+beta+in+CentOS+7

But even after using this link the max we can get is
157-1.el7.centos

Unless someone can search this repo for something better:

It's the same on Fedora.
If you want the "full-blown, everything" cockpit, you have to update & install cockpit.

You can also install the optional features:

I can't add a VM?

Why would you need a beta version when the current version 161 is good & ready to go (aka production ready)?

You need version 161

[Alex Sage]

@fateknollogee I just installed it on CentOS

[Alex Sage]

I installed cockpit-machines

[FATeknollogee]

Check your version of Cockpit. To create VMs, it has to be 161.

Centos users have to wait even beta is only up till version 157

UNless you can install from source ?

We're using a fork of CentOS that's supported by a major vendor.

A fork? That's even worse
