.. index:: virtual machines .. _virtual_machines-section: ================ Virtual machines ================ |product| is capable of running virtual machines using KVM and libvirt, but it doesn't provide a Web interface for it. .. only:: nscom Virtualization software can be installed and started using the command line, just execute: :: yum -y install qemu-kvm libvirt virt-install libvirt-client systemctl enable libvirtd systemctl start libvirtd .. only:: nsent Virtualization software can be installed and started using the command line, just execute: :: yum -y install qemu-kvm libvirt virt-install libvirt-client systemctl enable libvirtd systemctl start libvirtd If |product| is used as DHCP server, the Dnsmasq instance launched by libvirtd will conflict with the default one. To avoid such conflict, remove ``default`` libvirt NAT network: :: systemctl stop dnsmasq systemctl start libvirtd virsh net-destroy default virsh net-autostart default --disable systemctl start dnsmasq Finally, the system is ready to be managed using `Virtual Machine Manager (virt-manager) `_, a Linux desktop user interface for managing virtual machines through libvirt. Access virt-manager in your Linux desktop, then create a new connection to your |product| using SSH protocol.
