Example: Microsoft Windows image
This example creates a Windows Server 2012 qcow2 image, using the
virt-install
command and the KVM hypervisor.

Download a Windows Server 2012 installation ISO. Evaluation images are available on the Microsoft website <http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/ evaluate-windows-server-2012> (registration required).
Download the signed VirtIO drivers ISO from the Fedora website <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ Windows_Virtio_Drivers#Direct_download>.
Create a 15 GB qcow2 image:
$ qemu-img create -f qcow2 ws2012.qcow2 15G
Start the Windows Server 2012 installation with the
virt-install
command:# virt-install --connect qemu:///system \ --name ws2012 --ram 2048 --vcpus 2 \ --network network=default,model=virtio \ --disk path=ws2012.qcow2,format=qcow2,device=disk,bus=virtio \ --cdrom /path/to/en_windows_server_2012_x64_dvd.iso \ --disk path=/path/to/virtio-win-0.1-XX.iso,device=cdrom \ --vnc --os-type windows --os-variant win2k8
