283 <title>Using Qemu</title>
284
285 <para>
286 Since using qemu means using a virtual computer, the steps to set up
287 the virtual machine are in close analogy with those to set up a real
288 computer. You'll need to decide about CPU, memory, disk, USB devices,
289 network card(s), screen size, etc. Once the <quote>hardware</quote> is
290 decided, you'll have for example to choose how to connect the machine
291 to internet, and/or to install an OS. In the following, we show basic
292 ways of performing those steps. But qemu is much more than this, and it
293 is strongly advised to read the qemu documentation in
294 <filename>/usr/share/doc/qemu-&qemu-version;/qemu-doc.html</filename>.
295 </para>
296
297 <note>
298 <para>
299 It is standard practice to name the computer running qemu
300 <quote>host</quote> and the emulated machine running under qemu the
301 <quote>guest</quote>. We'll use those notations in the following.
302 </para>
303 </note>
304
305 <note>
306 <para>
307 The following instructions assume the optional symbolic link,
308 <filename>qemu</filename>, has been created. Additionally,
309 <command>qemu</command> must be run from an X Window System based
310 terminal (either locally or over ssh).
311 </para>
312 </note>
313
314 <bridgehead renderas="sect3">Disk</bridgehead>
315 <para>
316 A virtual disk may be set up in the following way:
317 </para>
318
319<screen><userinput>VDISK_SIZE=<replaceable>50G</replaceable>
320VDISK_FILENAME=<replaceable>vdisk.img</replaceable>
321qemu-img create -f qcow2 $VDISK_FILENAME $VDISK_SIZE</userinput></screen>
322
323 <para>
324 The virtual disk size and filename should be ajusted as desired. The
325 actual size of the file will be less than specified, but will expand as
326 needed, so it is safe to put a high value.
327 </para>
328
329 <bridgehead renderas="sect3">Operating System</bridgehead>
330 <para>
331 To install an operating system, download an iso image from your preferred
332 Linux distribution. For the purposes of this example, we'll use
333 <filename>Fedora-16-x86_64-Live-LXDE.iso</filename> in the current
334 directory. Run the following:
335 </para>
336
337<screen><userinput>qemu -enable-kvm \
338 -drive file=$VDISK_FILENAME \
339 -cdrom Fedora-16-x86_64-Live-LXDE.iso \
340 -boot d \
341 -m <replaceable>1G</replaceable></userinput></screen>
342
343 <para>
344 Follow the normal installation procedures for the chosen distribution.
345 The <parameter>-boot</parameter> option specifies the boot order of
346 drives as a string of drive letters. Valid drive letters are: a, b
347 (floppy 1 and 2), c (first hard disk), d (first CD-ROM). The
348 <parameter>-m</parameter> option is the amount of memory to use for the
349 virtual machine. The choice depends on the load of the host. Modern
350 distributions should be comfortable with 1GB.
351 The <parameter>-enable-kvm</parameter> option allows hardware
352 acceleration. Without this switch, the emulation is much slower.
353 </para>
354
355 <bridgehead renderas="sect3">Defining the virtual hardware</bridgehead>
356 <para>
357 The virtual machine hardware is defined by the qemu command line.

493 The above solution for networking allows the guest to access the local
494 network through the host (and possibly to access internet through the
495 local routers), but the converse is not true. Not even the host can
496 access the guest, unless port forwarding is enabled. And in the case
497 several guests are running, they cannot communicate with each other.
498 Other network devices can be used for this purpose. For example, there
499 is the <quote>socket</quote> device, which allows several guests to
500 share a common virtual network. In the following, we describe in more
501 details how to set up the <quote>bridge</quote> device, which allows
502 the guests to appear as if connected to the local network. All the
