<title>Example guestfish session</title>
|
|
<para>Sometimes, you must modify a virtual machine image
|
|
to remove any traces of the MAC address that was
|
|
assigned to the virtual network interface card when
|
|
the image was first created, because the MAC address
|
|
will be different when it boots the next time. This
|
|
example shows how to use guestfish to remove
|
|
references to the old MAC address by deleting the
|
|
<filename>/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules</filename>
|
|
file and removing the <literal>HWADDR</literal> line
|
|
from the
|
|
<filename>/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0</filename>
|
|
file.</para>
|

<para>Assume that you have a CentOS qcow2 image called

<filename>centos63_desktop.img</filename>. Mount

use:<screen><prompt>#</prompt> <userinput>guestmount -a centos63_desktop.qcow2 -i --rw /mnt</userinput></screen>Once

<title>Resize an image</title>
|
|
<para>Here's a simple of example of how to use
|
|
<command>virt-resize</command> to resize an image.
|
|
Assume we have a 16 GB Windows image in qcow2 format
|
|
that we want to resize to 50 GB. First, we use
|
|
<command>virt-filesystems</command> to identify
|
|
the
|
|
partitions:<screen><prompt>#</prompt> <userinput>virt-filesystems --long --parts --blkdevs -h -a /data/images/win2012.qcow2</userinput>
|
|
<computeroutput>Name Type MBR Size Parent
|
|
/dev/sda1 partition 07 350M /dev/sda
|
|
/dev/sda2 partition 07 16G /dev/sda
|
|
/dev/sda device - 16G -
|
|
</computeroutput></screen></para>
|
|
<para>In this case, it's the
|
|
<filename>/dev/sda2</filename> partition that we
|
|
want to resize. We create a new qcow2 image and use
|
|
the <command>virt-resize</command> command to write a
|
|
resized copy of the original into the new
|
|
image:
|
|
<screen><prompt>#</prompt> <userinput>qemu-img create -f qcow2 /data/images/win2012-50gb.qcw2 50G</userinput>
|
|
<prompt>#</prompt> <userinput>virt-resize --expand /dev/sda2 /data/images/win2012.qcow2 \
