virsh: Create a guest from a configuration file.
$ virsh create ${path-to-config_file-xml}
try on your machine
This command is used to create a new virtual machine (VM) using the Virtualization Service (virsh) command-line tool. The command has the following structure:
virsh create ${path-to-config_file-xml}
Here's a breakdown of the components:
- virsh: It is a command-line interface for managing virtual machines and other virtualization aspects.
- create: This specific virsh command is used to create a new virtual machine or domain.
- ${path-to-config_file-xml}: This is a placeholder for the actual path to the XML configuration file of the VM. The XML file contains details about the virtual machine's hardware configuration, disk image, network interfaces, and other attributes required for the VM's creation and operation. You need to replace ${path-to-config_file-xml} with the correct path to your specific XML configuration file.
By executing this command, the Virtualization Service will read the XML configuration file specified by the path and use it to create and launch the virtual machine according to the defined settings.
