Problems installing kvm guest Oracle Linux 7 via console

edited Dec 9, 2015 7:46AM in Linux Operating System (MOSC) 1 commentAnswered ✓

Hello Community,

What I want?

I want to install Oracle Linux 7.1 (UEK) as a kvm guest on a Oracle Linux 7.1 host via console only. Remote access via VNC is not allowed by policy.

What I did?

# virt-install --name vm_master \

--ram=2048 \

--vcpus=1 \

--graphics none \

--disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/mv_master.qcow2,size=10 \

--os-type=linux \

--os-variant=rhel7 \

--location=/tmp/ol7_full.iso \

--extra-args="linux inst.text console=ttyS0"

What was the result?

Starting install...

Howdy, Stranger!
