virt-manager allows fully virt install from kernel/initrd

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Traditionally paravirt Xen installs only supported NFS/FTP/HTTP based network
installs due to the requirement to use a kernel/initrd, while fullvirt Xen
installs only spported ISO/CDROM due to requirement to boot from CDROM.

With the introduction of KVM though, it became possible to install fullyvirt
guests off a NFS/FTP/HTTP tree directly in same manner as paravirt. Xen also
recently gained this capability for fullvirt guests.

Thus I have just pushed changes to virt-manager to allow fullyvirt install
to be performed using NFS/FTP/HTTP sources, in addition to existing option
of doing ISO/CDROM installs.
