Just copy the xml file manually into /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/ , then put a symlink to it in /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/autostart/ . Create the network on an existing system then check out those directories to see how it's set up. -Sean. -----Original Message----- From: kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Patrick Lists Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2012 3:38 PM To: kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: How to configure a libvirt network in %post (virsh fails due to libvirtd unable to run) Hi, I am trying to do something like this in the %post section of the kickstart file for my F16 workstation: # setup libvirt network cat > /home/patrick/Downloads/vmr.xml <<EOF <network> <name>vmr</name> <forward mode='route'/> <bridge name='virbr1' /> <ip address='192.168.198.1' netmask='255.255.255.0'> </ip> </network> EOF # make sure libvirtd is started service libvirtd restart # add the network virsh net-define vmr.xml virsh net-start vmr virsh net-autostart vmr Unfortunately the virsh commands fail because it seems it is not possible to start libvirtd and afaict virsh requires libvirtd. Anyone have any suggestions how to make this work? Thanks!
