![]() In case you have error connected to SELinux that goes something like this. Use the virsh console command to log in to a running VM called ‘centos7’ type: virsh console centos7 To exit a virsh console session, type CTRL + Shift followed by. I was also able to create new VMs without any problem. To exit a virsh console from a shell prompt on Linux: Open a shell prompt or login using ssh. If you already have virtual machines installed, and you edited them and transfered them to the new location like I described earlier, you can run them again virsh start YOURVMnameĪs you can see, my VM is running properly. We will once again check to see path for the default pool virsh pool-dumpxml default |grep -i pathĪnd if I again check details for the default pool, I will see that now I have 400GB at my disposal for the VMs. We will now start default storage pool virsh pool-start default We will again check if pool is in inactive state virsh pool-list -allĪfter you are sure that default pool is in inactive state, we will edit default pool configuration virsh pool-edit defaultĬhange path line to reflect your new folder setting. We will now stop default storage pool virsh pool-destroy default Next, we will check default pool information virsh pool-info defaultįrom that command you will see that I have only 50GB of storage space for my VMs inside default pool.Īnd at last, we will check default storage path virsh pool-dumpxml default |grep -i path You should also edit config file of the VM to reflect changes and point to new storage path source file='/home/vms/YOURVMname.qcow2'įirst we will list our storage pools virsh pool-list To copy your VM to new created directory, execute mv /var/lib/libvirt/images/YOURVMname.qcow2 /home/vms To stop active VMs run virsh shutdown YOURVMname If you already have virtual machines inside /var/lib/libvirt/images make sure that these machines are stopped and that you have a fresh backup! Do not execute these changes without proper backup plan. ![]() I’m also usually doing this on a fresh machine, right after KVM installation. If you have problems, make sure to change SELinux mode to permissive, or disabled. Type the following SSH port forwarding command from your client/desktop: ssh -L 5904:127.0.0. I didn’t have and I have SELinux in enforcing state on Red Hat 8.2. You may have problems with SELinux after deploying this. mkdir /home/vmsįirst, check your SELinux status. Usually for my LABs I don’t have a need for various other storage configurations, I just need to move default path to my home directory since there is a lot of space. By default Red Hat will store your images and vm disks in the /var/lib/libvirt/images path.
