273 <title>Using Qemu</title>
274
275 <para>
276 Since using qemu means using a virtual computer, the steps to set up
277 the virtual machine are in close analogy with those to set up a real
278 computer. You'll need to decide about CPU, memory, disk, USB devices,
279 network card(s), screen size, etc. Once the <quote>hardware</quote> is
280 decided, you'll have for example to choose how to connect the machine
281 to internet, and/or to install an OS. In the following, we show basic
282 ways of performing those steps. But qemu is much more than this, and it
283 is strongly advised to read the qemu documentation in
284 <filename>/usr/share/doc/qemu-&qemu-version;/qemu-doc.html</filename>.
285 </para>
286
287 <note>
288 <para>
289 It is standard practice to name the computer running qemu
290 <quote>host</quote> and the emulated machine running under qemu the
291 <quote>guest</quote>. We'll use those notations in the following.
292 </para>
293 </note>
294
295 <note>
296 <para>
297 The following instructions assume the optional symbolic link,
298 <filename>qemu</filename>, has been created. Additionally,
299 <command>qemu</command> must be run from an X Window System based
300 terminal (either locally or over ssh).
301 </para>
302 </note>
303
304 <bridgehead renderas="sect3">Disk</bridgehead>
305 <para>
306 A virtual disk may be set up in the following way:
307 </para>
308
309<screen><userinput>VDISK_SIZE=<replaceable>50G</replaceable>
310VDISK_FILENAME=<replaceable>vdisk.img</replaceable>
311qemu-img create -f qcow2 $VDISK_FILENAME $VDISK_SIZE</userinput></screen>
312
313 <para>
314 The virtual disk size and filename should be ajusted as desired. The
315 actual size of the file will be less than specified, but will expand as
316 needed, so it is safe to put a high value.
317 </para>
318
319 <bridgehead renderas="sect3">Operating System</bridgehead>
320 <para>
321 To install an operating system, download an iso image from your preferred
322 Linux distribution. For the purposes of this example, we'll use
323 <filename>Fedora-16-x86_64-Live-LXDE.iso</filename> in the current
324 directory. Run the following:
325 </para>
326
327<screen><userinput>qemu -enable-kvm \
328 -drive file=$VDISK_FILENAME \
329 -cdrom Fedora-16-x86_64-Live-LXDE.iso \
330 -boot d \
331 -m <replaceable>1G</replaceable></userinput></screen>
332
333 <para>
334 Follow the normal installation procedures for the chosen distribution.
335 The <parameter>-boot</parameter> option specifies the boot order of
336 drives as a string of drive letters. Valid drive letters are: a, b
337 (floppy 1 and 2), c (first hard disk), d (first CD-ROM). The
338 <parameter>-m</parameter> option is the amount of memory to use for the
339 virtual machine. The choice depends on the load of the host. Modern
340 distributions should be comfortable with 1GB.
341 The <parameter>-enable-kvm</parameter> option allows hardware
342 acceleration. Without this switch, the emulation is much slower.
343 </para>
344
345 <bridgehead renderas="sect3">Defining the virtual hardware</bridgehead>
346 <para>
347 The virtual machine hardware is defined by the qemu command line.
348 An example command is given below:

482 <para>
483 The above solution for networking allows the guest to access the local
484 network through the host (and possibly to access internet through the
485 local routers), but the converse is not true. Not even the host can
486 access the guest, unless port forwarding is enabled. And in the case
487 several guests are running, they cannot communicate with each other.
488 Other network devices can be used for this purpose. For example, there
489 is the <quote>socket</quote> device, which allows several guests to
490 share a common virtual network. In the following, we describe in more
491 details how to set up the <quote>bridge</quote> device, which allows
492 the guests to appear as if connected to the local network. All the
