Desktop tool for managing virtual machines via libvirt
11a887ece5
Properly setting the metadata cache size can provide better performance in case of using big qcow2 images. This patch introduces two driver options: * driver.metadata_cache.max_size * driver.metadata_cache.max_size.unit E.g. --disk ...,driver.type=qcow2,\ driver.metadata_cache.max_size=2,\ driver.metadata_cache.max_size.unit=MiB BTW, Metadata cache size control is currently supported only for qcow2. Regarding how to properly caluclate the cache size of qcow2, Please refer to qemu's documentation. Signed-off-by: Lin Ma <lma@suse.com> |

Virtual Machine Manager
virt-manager
is a graphical tool for managing virtual machines
via libvirt. Most usage is with QEMU/KVM
virtual machines, but Xen and libvirt LXC containers are well
supported. Common operations for any libvirt driver should work.
Several command line tools are also provided:
virt-install
: Create new libvirt virtual machinesvirt-clone
: Duplicate existing libvirt virtual machinesvirt-xml
: Edit existing libvirt virtual machines/manipulate libvirt XML
For dependency info and installation instructions, see the INSTALL.md file. If you just want to quickly test the code from a git checkout, you can launch any of the commands like:
./virt-manager --debug ...
