270 <title>Using Qemu</title>
271
272 <para>
273 Since using qemu means using a virtual computer, the steps to set up
274 the virtual machine are in close analogy with those to set up a real
275 computer. You'll need to decide about CPU, memory, disk, USB devices,
276 network card(s), screen size, etc. Once the <quote>hardware</quote> is
277 decided, you'll have for example to choose how to connect the machine
278 to internet, and/or to install an OS. In the following, we show basic
279 ways of performing those steps. But qemu is much more than this, and it
280 is strongly advised to read the qemu documentation in
281 <filename>/usr/share/doc/qemu-&qemu-version;/qemu-doc.html</filename>.
282 </para>
283
284 <note>
285 <para>
286 It is standard practice to name the computer running qemu
287 <quote>host</quote> and the emulated machine running under qemu the
288 <quote>guest</quote>. We'll use those notations in the following.
289 </para>
290 </note>
291
292 <note>
293 <para>
294 The following instructions assume the optional symbolic link,
295 <filename>qemu</filename>, has been created. Additionally,
296 <command>qemu</command> must be run from an X Window System based
297 terminal (either locally or over ssh).
298 </para>

301 <bridgehead renderas="sect3">Disk</bridgehead>
302 <para>
303 A virtual disk may be set up in the following way:
304 </para>
305
306<screen><userinput>VDISK_SIZE=<replaceable>50G</replaceable>
307VDISK_FILENAME=<replaceable>vdisk.img</replaceable>
308qemu-img create -f qcow2 $VDISK_FILENAME $VDISK_SIZE</userinput></screen>
309
310 <para>
311 The virtual disk size and filename should be ajusted as desired. The
312 actual size of the file will be less than specified, but will expand as
313 needed, so it is safe to put a high value.
314 </para>
315
316 <bridgehead renderas="sect3">Operating System</bridgehead>
317 <para>
318 To install an operating system, download an iso image from your preferred
319 Linux distribution. For the purposes of this example, we'll use
320 <filename>Fedora-16-x86_64-Live-LXDE.iso</filename> in the current
321 directory. Run the following:
322 </para>
323
324<screen><userinput>qemu -enable-kvm \
325 -drive file=$VDISK_FILENAME \
326 -cdrom Fedora-16-x86_64-Live-LXDE.iso \
327 -boot d \
328 -m <replaceable>1G</replaceable></userinput></screen>
329
330 <para>
331 Follow the normal installation procedures for the chosen distribution.
332 The <parameter>-boot</parameter> option specifies the boot order of
333 drives as a string of drive letters. Valid drive letters are: a, b
334 (floppy 1 and 2), c (first hard disk), d (first CD-ROM). The
335 <parameter>-m</parameter> option is the amount of memory to use for the
336 virtual machine. The choice depends on the load of the host. Modern
337 distributions should be comfortable with 1GB.
338 The <parameter>-enable-kvm</parameter> option allows hardware
339 acceleration. Without this switch, the emulation is much slower.
340 </para>
341
342 <bridgehead renderas="sect3">Defining the virtual hardware</bridgehead>
343 <para>
344 The virtual machine hardware is defined by the qemu command line.

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