Cole Robinson d3b20b16d0 unattended: Don't use custom subdir for storing tempfiles
The reason this was done, is because we need to inject files with
certain names into the initrd/cdrom media so the guest OS can find
them, but our injection infrastructure didn't have the knowledge
necessary to rename files at injection time.

Having to deal with the subdir complicates cleanup and unattended
data generation, so let's do away with it. Teach the injection
bits about renaming, and adjust all the related bits to use
standard tempdirs

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 machines
  • virt-clone: Duplicate existing libvirt virtual machines
  • virt-xml: Edit existing libvirt virtual machines/manipulate libvirt XML
  • virt-convert: Convert VMX or OVF configs to libvirt virtual machines

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 ...
