The only problem i have now is networking. I use bridged network and its fine xept one thing - its 100 mbit. What i need is 1 Gbs link(my network card allows that). Seems to fully utilise nw card i need to install virtio network device, then drivers for it from Windows and be a happy. I found this how-to http://www.linux-kvm.com/content/tip-how-setup-windows-guest-paravirtual-network-drivers , but i dont understand how to make virtio device available for guest if i dont start machine manually via command line, but want to incorporate it into xml. > > Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. > > Ruben > virt-manager doesn't yet support adding a virtio nic to an existing guest, but we will soon. You'll have to make the changes via the command line. What you will want to do is: - stop your vm - virsh dumpxml YOURVM > xml - edit xml, and add: <model type='virtio'/> to the <interface> block. - virsh define xml - start the vm Thanks, Cole _______________________________________________ et-mgmt-tools mailing list et-mgmt-tools@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/et-mgmt-tools
