Create the VM using GUI App virt-manager

If your host server has Ubuntu Desktop and virt-manager installed you can use it to deploy the VM. Make sure you can start the Virtual Machine Manager and that it connects successfully to the local hypervisor.

Creating a VM with virt-manager is very straightforward, Use the following steps to deploy the ONES-Application

• File -> New Virtual Machine -> Import existing disk image -> Forward

Now the ONES Application is ready to use

Create the VM using QEMU (XML configuration)

• Edit an existing XML configuration file from the following template using vi

vi aviz_ones.xml
