23.21. A Sample Virtual Machine XML Configuration

The following table shows a sample XML configuration of a guest virtual machine (VM), also referred to as domain XML, and explains the content of the configuration.
To obtain the XML configuration of a VM, use the virsh dumpxml command. For information about editing VM configuration, see the Virtualization Getting Started Guide.

When the VM powers off, or its OS terminates unexpectedly, libvirt terminates the guest and releases all its allocated resources. When the guest is rebooted, it is restarted with the same configuration. For more information about configuring these settings, see -Section 23.13, “Events Configuration”.

The VM uses the /usr/bin/qemu-kvm binary file for emulation. In addition, it has two disks attached. The first disk is a virtualized hard-drive based on the /var/lib/libvirt/images/Testguest.qcow2 stored on the host, and its logical device name is set to hda. For more information about managing disks, see -Section 23.17.1, “Hard Drives, Floppy Disks, and CD-ROMs”.

The VM uses four controllers for attaching USB devices, and a root controller for PCI-Express (PCIe) devices. In addition, a virtio-serial controller is available, which enables the VM to interact with the host in a variety of ways, such as the serial console. For more information about configuring controllers, see -Section 23.17.3, “Controllers”.

A pty serial console is set up on the VM, which enables the most rudimentary VM communication with the host. The console uses the paravirtualized SPICE channel. This is set up automatically and changing these settings is not recommended. For an overview of character devices, see -Section 23.17.8, “Network Interfaces”. For detailed information about serial ports and consoles, see Section 23.17.14, “Guest Virtual Machine Interfaces”. For more information about channels, see Section 23.17.15, “Channel”.
