KVM CLI install for CentOS 6.3 defaults to Minimal Install
- by i.h4d35
So I now I've installed KVM (and its associated tools and packages- libvirt, VMM etc.). On the GUI (i.e using the VMM), installation works as its supposed to. However, when I try to create a VM using the command line interface, the OS (I am working with CentOS 6.3) defaults to a Minimal Install instead of giving me options to choose from at the time of installation. I am trying to install using the following command:
virt-install \
--connect qemu:///system \
--virt-type kvm --name testVM2 \
--ram 512 --disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/testVM2.img,size=8 --vnc \
--cdrom /media/db18de8e-0853-49fb-80de-5c794d58a46f/CentOS-6.3- x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso \
--network network=default
Specifying the OS-type or the OS-variant parameters doesn't make a difference. Is there something that I am missing out on or some other parameter that I must specify?
Thanks in advance.
