Hi, I am creating a VM with the following command: virt-install --connect qemu:///system -n vm001 -r 2048 --vcpus=2 --disk path=/local/vm001.img,device=disk,bus=virtio,size=45 --vnc --noautoconsole --os-type linux --accelerate --network=bridge:br0,mac=00:00:00:00:00:0E --network=bridge:br1,mac=00:00:01:00:00:0E,model=virtio --pxe --hvm [root@node001 ~]# ps aux | grep kvm qemu 26893 1.4 0.2 2491820 342852 ?
