Installation Wizard Screenshots

The first stage of the installation is to choose what type of hardware you would like to add. Not all hardware types are supported for all guest types, so the list may be smaller or larger than the screenshot.

Adding storage allows you to select an existing physical disk/partition or file backed storage. The latter can also be newly created. The type of storage must also be specified via the drop down box. Full virt guests include several options, such as exporting the storage as a floppy or cdrom drive.

Adding a network interface is the same as during guest creation: you can choose between available shared physical devices, and available virtual networks. A MAC address can also be specified, otherwise one will be randomly generated.

Certain guest types support adding a graphics device. Only one graphics device can be present at a time. With a VNC device, the port to use and listening scope can be specified, as well as an optional password and keymap. An SDL device requires no other options, but will not be viewable via Virt Manager's graphical console.

A specific input device can be specified for fully virtualized guests. Specifying a tablet mouse, with proper support in the guest, can allow better mouse tracking in the graphical console.

The summary screen shows the selected device parameters before finishing creation.
