279 <title>Using Qemu</title>
280
281 <para>
282 Since using qemu means using a virtual computer, the steps to set up
283 the virtual machine are in close analogy with those to set up a real
284 computer. You'll need to decide about CPU, memory, disk, USB devices,
285 network card(s), screen size, etc. Once the <quote>hardware</quote> is
286 decided, you'll have for example to choose how to connect the machine
287 to internet, and/or to install an OS. In the following, we show basic
288 ways of performing those steps. But qemu is much more than this, and it
289 is strongly advised to read the qemu documentation in
290 <filename>/usr/share/doc/qemu-&qemu-version;/qemu-doc.html</filename>.
291 </para>
292
293 <note>
294 <para>
295 It is standard practice to name the computer running qemu
296 <quote>host</quote> and the emulated machine running under qemu the
297 <quote>guest</quote>. We'll use those notations in the following.
298 </para>
299 </note>

302 <para>
303 The following instructions assume the optional symbolic link,
304 <filename>qemu</filename>, has been created. Additionally,
305 <command>qemu</command> must be run from an X Window System based
306 terminal (either locally or over ssh).
307 </para>

310 <bridgehead renderas="sect3">Disk</bridgehead>
311 <para>
312 A virtual disk may be set up in the following way:
313 </para>
314
315<screen><userinput>VDISK_SIZE=<replaceable>50G</replaceable>
316VDISK_FILENAME=<replaceable>vdisk.img</replaceable>
317qemu-img create -f qcow2 $VDISK_FILENAME $VDISK_SIZE</userinput></screen>
318
319 <para>
320 The virtual disk size and filename should be ajusted as desired. The
321 actual size of the file will be less than specified, but will expand as
322 needed, so it is safe to put a high value.
323 </para>
324
325 <bridgehead renderas="sect3">Operating System</bridgehead>
326 <para>
327 To install an operating system, download an iso image from your preferred
328 Linux distribution. For the purposes of this example, we'll use
329 <filename>Fedora-16-x86_64-Live-LXDE.iso</filename> in the current
330 directory. Run the following:
331 </para>
332
333<screen><userinput>qemu -enable-kvm \
334 -drive file=$VDISK_FILENAME \
335 -cdrom Fedora-16-x86_64-Live-LXDE.iso \
336 -boot d \
337 -m <replaceable>1G</replaceable></userinput></screen>
338
339 <para>
340 Follow the normal installation procedures for the chosen distribution.
341 The <parameter>-boot</parameter> option specifies the boot order of
342 drives as a string of drive letters. Valid drive letters are: a, b
343 (floppy 1 and 2), c (first hard disk), d (first CD-ROM). The
344 <parameter>-m</parameter> option is the amount of memory to use for the
345 virtual machine. The choice depends on the load of the host. Modern
346 distributions should be comfortable with 1GB.
347 The <parameter>-enable-kvm</parameter> option allows hardware
348 acceleration. Without this switch, the emulation is much slower.
349 </para>
350
351 <bridgehead renderas="sect3">Defining the virtual hardware</bridgehead>
352 <para>
353 The virtual machine hardware is defined by the qemu command line.

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