Hi,

I have IBM x3650M3 Server with 2 Physical CPU each with quad core configs and 32GB of physical RAM and 600 GB usable space. I am using linux kvm for this purpose. Please correct or suggest me if i am doing wrong

I have installed CentOS 5.6 on physical server as host OS. I need to create 2 Virtual Machines with similar configs.

virt-install --connect qemu:///system -n vm1 -r 15000 --cpuset=auto -f /var/tmp/vm1.qcow2 -s 200 -c /var/lib/libvirt/images/CentOS-5.6-x86_64-bin-DVD-1of2.iso --vnc --noautoconsole --os-type linux --os-variant generic26 --accelerate --network=bridge:br0 --hvm

virt-install --connect qemu:///system -n vm2 -r 15000 --cpuset=auto -f /var/tmp/vm2.qcow2 -s 200 -c /var/lib/libvirt/images/CentOS-5.6-x86_64-bin-DVD-1of2.iso --vnc --noautoconsole --os-type linux --os-variant generic26 --accelerate --network=bridge:br0 --hvm

Please let me know the recommended method if there are any changes need to be done in the above command line. I would be eventually running asterisk PBX application on these 2 VM's and also let me know if 2 GB of physical RAM is sufficient for Host OS.

Regards,
