This guide assumes you are installing Mac OS 9.2 on a 2gb file that will act as your hard disk for Mac OS. The CD image you install from is called MacOS9.2.iso and the hard disk is called MacOS9.2.img. Installations of other versions of Mac OS or OSX (roughly) follow the same path. If you need to boot from a real CD, see the section Booting from a real CD below. Chmod +x qemu.command. Short explanation of the content of the file: #!/bin/bash tells OSX this is a bash script cd “$(dirname “$0”)” set the path for the executable to current folder./qemu-system-ppc starts qemu with all the following as parameters:-L pc-bios points qemu to some required files, including openbios-ppc and the vga driver qemuvga.ndrv.boot d defines to boot from a. May 06, 2017 Kickstart is a network installation system for RHEL, Fedora and CentOS Linux distributions. Another good option is Cobbler which is a Linux provisioning server that centralizes and simplifies control of services including DHCP, TFTP, and DNS for the purpose of performing network-based operating systems installs. In this tutorial, I'm going to show you how to use kickstart file to. OS X Mojave on KVM on Threadripper 1950x I installed Mojave on KVM on my 1950x, passing through a RX 560, an EVO 970 and 2 USB controllers, 12 cores and 16 gb of ram. Everything works very well and performance seems good, I tried Cinebech multithread and got 2560.
![]() Introduction: You can use a simple command named virt-clone. It is a command line utility for cloning existing virtual machine images using the “libvirt” hypervisor management library. It will copy the disk images of any existing virtual machine, and define a new guest with an identical virtual hardware configuration. Elements which require uniqueness will be updated to avoid a clash between old and new guests.

First VM/domain with devices to clone must be paused or shutoff. To gracefully shutdown a domain named ubuntu-box1, run:
$ sudo virsh shutdown ubuntu-box1 OR you can paused it as follows: $ sudo virsh suspend ubuntu-box1 Sample outputs:
Let us generate a new guest name, and paths for new storage automatically for a vm called ubuntu-box1
$ sudo virt-clone --original ubuntu-box1 --auto-clone Sample outputs:
The above command cloned the guest called “demo” on the default connection, auto generating a new name called ubuntu-box1-clone and disk clone path. You can start or resume original domain:
$ sudo virsh start ubuntu-box1 OR $ sudo virsh resume ubuntu-box1 Next, start ubuntu-box1-clone, enter: $ sudo virsh start ubuntu-box1-clone Verify it: $ virsh list My dhcpd server gave 192.168.2.147 IP address to ubuntu-box1-clone VM, run: $ ping -c2 192.168.2.147 Finally, ssh into the box: $ ssh [email protected] Sample sessions: Please note, virt-clone does not change anything inside the guest OS, it only duplicates disks and does host side changes. So things like changing passwords, changing static IP address, ssh-keys, hostnames etc are outside the scope of this tool. Once login using to cloned VM using ssh, you can change those: $ ssh [email protected]
Conclusion
You just learned how to use the virt-clone command which provides a number of options that can be passed on the command line to clone a KVM VM. You can use the virt-sysprep if you need to clone the VM and make/reset anything inside the guest OS: This entry is 5 of 9 in the
