Creating a VM named "creat"

$ virt-install -n creat -r 500 \
  -f creat.img -s 10 \
  -c /opt/ubuntu-10.04.1-server-amd64.iso --accelerate \
  --connect=qemu:///system  --vnc  --noautoconsole  -v

"-n creat" means the name will be creat
"-r 500" means 500 MB Ram
The file "creat.img" is created with size 10 GB.
The named /opt/ubuntu...iso is the CD we boot from
The VM uses 127.0.0.1:5900 for its VNC port.
The final "-v" is "full" (not "para") virtualization

Shortcut to virsh. "v help"

$ cat /usr/local/bin/v
set -x
exec virsh --connect  qemu:///system "$@"

Poor Man's Bridge, using DNAT & SNAT.

Allow private 192.168.122.9 (a Kvm Guest in Virtual Network configuration ) to be available to the world as 173.8.190.58 (a public IP we have). It will not be visible to the Kvm Host at that address; instead the Kvm Host sees itself there.

ifconfig eth0:1 netmask 255.255.255.255 173.8.190.58

: iptables -F -v -t nat ## Dont do this -- guests can access outer internet (for dns, updates).
iptables  -t nat -I PREROUTING  -i eth0 -d 173.8.190.58  -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.122.9
iptables  -t nat -I POSTROUTING -o eth0 -s 192.168.122.9 -j SNAT --to-source      173.8.190.58

iptables         -I FORWARD  -i eth0 -d  192.168.122.9 -j ACCEPT
iptables         -I FORWARD  -o eth0 -s  173.8.190.58  -j ACCEPT

Limit DHCP space to the 200's.

I'll try and get in here before anyone else does:

Use iproute.

For this kind of job, using iproute really is much easier, so instead of:

ifconfig eth0:0 netmask 255.255.255.224 x.y.z.2

you would use:

ip addr add x.y.z.2/27 dev eth0

which you can also stick in your /etc/network/interfaces with a post-up command...
