Changes

In the previous chapter we explored the creation of KVM guest operating systems on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 host using the virt-manager graphical tool. Whilst this graphical tool does much to ease the virtual machine creation process, there are some drawbacks to this approach. Perhaps the most significant shortcoming is that the graphical tool does not provide any way to automate creation of virtual machines. In addition, virt-manager can only be used where access to a graphical desktop environment is available. In the case of headless servers, however, this is not always the case.
