Simplifies the code and gives us actual command line coverage,
but requires a small hack to work correctly for modern
centos/fedora test cases, inst.repo from --location takes
precedence over our kickstart URL
There's been various discussions about changing the x86 default
from 'pc' to 'q35' over the years, but it's unlikely to happen
at the qemu or libvirt level for compatibility reasons. So
let's start using it for new enough OS that support it.
This makes it easier for people to change install media afterwards
if they want:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1508377
But also this makes it more clear that if users want to use virtio-win,
they need to add an additional CDROM and not try to reuse the install
CDROM device
Now we have only one Installer class, and callers don't need to
worry about choosing a particular class type depending on their
needs, just pass cdrom vs. location to the installer init and
we figure out everything behind the scenes.
Besides simplifying the callers this makes the control flow a
lot easier to follow whether looking at InstallerTreeMedia or
Installer classes
With another fake iso, based on stripped down centos 6.5 boot iso.
Reason we do centos 6.5 is that everything newer also compares
on volume size, and we don't want to store a huge iso in git.
virt-install -n blah -r 1024 --vcpu=1 --disk=/root/vm/blah.qcow2,size=10\
--network=bridge:br-public --pxe --boot=network,rebootTimeout=3
By default, in case of (first) pxe boot failure the VM will simply
stop trying.
By adding the above, VM will re-try pxe boot. ( useful when DHCP not
replys on first attempt.
Libvirt support it and VM XML will look as follow : ( 'bios rebootTimeout'
will be created under OS section. )
<os>
<type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-i440fx-rhel7.5.0'>hvm</type>
<boot dev='network'/>
<bios rebootTimeout='3'/>
</os>
(crobinso: fix it, add test case)
On first run of the app we will check to see if libvirt and qemu
are installed, and if not, offer to install them. In theory anyways.
In practice this stuff breaks repeatedly and is a pain to test because
every desktop has their own API provider with subtly different behavior.
My last round of testing about 12 months ago: apper on KDE was completely
busted and apparently unmaintained (although that may have changed lately),
gnome-software is the latest packagekit provider on gnome and completely
changes the semantics of the API compared to old style gnome-packagekit
that break a lot of virt-manager assumptions.
So I'm tired of it and want it all gone. Still use systemd to try and
check if libvirtd is running, and provide error messages at startup
to guide people.
The new UI is handled in mediacombo. It's a combobox+entry. The
combobox is prepopulated with host cdrom/floppy devices, and
previously used media paths from gsettings
The new VM wizard no longer has separate UI for cdrom device vs
ISO media. The choosecd dialog is gone all together, and media
is changed with the 'apply' button like all other details changes
Allow to set some memory backing options, ex:
--memorybacking access_mode=shared,source_type=anonymous
