277 <title>Using Qemu</title>
278
279 <para>
280 Since using qemu means using a virtual computer, the steps to set up
281 the virtual machine are in close analogy with those to set up a real
282 computer. You'll need to decide about CPU, memory, disk, USB devices,
283 network card(s), screen size, etc. Once the <quote>hardware</quote> is
284 decided, you'll have for example to choose how to connect the machine
285 to internet, and/or to install an OS. In the following, we show basic
286 ways of performing those steps. But qemu is much more than this, and it
287 is strongly advised to read the qemu documentation in
288 <filename>/usr/share/doc/qemu-&qemu-version;/qemu-doc.html</filename>.
289 </para>
290
291 <note>
292 <para>
293 It is standard practice to name the computer running qemu
294 <quote>host</quote> and the emulated machine running under qemu the
295 <quote>guest</quote>. We'll use those notations in the following.

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

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

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