Re: How to make virt-manager targets the correct qemu emulators

[Gabriel Laupre <glaupre@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

 

I guess it will do the trick. But in my case I don’t want to change the XML config file. I want that my emulator under /usr/local/bin/ to be directly chosen by the virt-manager when I create a new VM using the GUI tool. I don’t know if it is possible though.

 

Thank you J

Hello,

 

I have an old version of qemu installed under the path /usr/bin/. I am using a Centos 7 machine.
I just got the last qemu code and made some modifications, recompiled it and I have my qemu emulators under /usr/local/bin.

 

When I launch the virt-manager, it seems that it targets the old one under /usr/bin/ and I want to change that the virt-manager will use my new one under /usr/local/bin.

Where can I specify this information?

 

You could：

1)      virsh edit  $YOU_VM

 

2)      find this:

<emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-kvm</emulator>

 

3)      change it to

<emulator>/usr/local/bin/qemu-kvm</emulator>

 

4)      you may need to disabled your selinux
vim /etc/selinux/config

Hope this could help.

 

Regards,

- Chen
