		<description><![CDATA[In my KVM presentation, I discussed how to create KVM guests using the virt-install utility. To create a KVM guest, you can run the virt-install utility with one or more options that control where the guest will be installed, how to install it, and how to structure the guest hardware profile . Here is one [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I read over the latest KVM putback log last night, and saw that KVM now supports booting from ISO images that are accessible via HTTP (it uses libcurl under the covers). This is pretty fricking cool, and allow you to boot in recovery mode without requiring local media or PXE, and provides a super easy [...]]]></description>

The talk gives some background on KVM, and shows how to get KVM working on a server that supports processor virtualization extensions.

		<description><![CDATA[During my KVM testing, I wanted to be able to use the virsh &#8220;console&#8221; command to access the console of my guests. This would make remote management a whole lot easier, since the default remote management interface (vnc) was a bit of overkill. To get virsh to allow me to console in, the first thing [...]]]></description>

Libvirt provides built-in support for managing remote nodes, which is useful when you need to enable one or more virtualization properties, or when you need to perform some type of [...]]]></description>

When I was first getting the environment (i.e., /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf, /etc/sysconfig/libvirt, SASL credentials, etc.) set up to allow migrations to work, I was greeted with the following error: virsh # migrate &#8211;live kvmnode1 qemu+tcp://thecrue/system error: invalid argument in only tcp URIs are [...]]]></description>
