Creating Custom {RHEL} Images

Prerequisites

  • Use a Linux host machine to create an image. In this example, we use a {RHEL} 7 Workstation.

  • Use virt-manager on your workstation to complete this procedure. If you create the image on a remote server, connect to the server from your workstation with virt-manager.

  • A {RHEL} 7 or 6 ISO file (see {RHEL} 7.4 Binary DVD or {RHEL} 6.9 Binary DVD).

For more information about installing a {RHEL} Workstation, see {RHEL} 7 Installation Guide.

Before you can create custom images, install the following packages:

  • Install libvirt, qemu-kvm, and graphical tools:

    # {client-package-install-el7} virt-manager virt-viewer libvirt qemu-kvm

  • Install the following command line tools:

    # {client-package-install-el7} virt-install libguestfs-tools-c
Note

In the following procedures, enter all commands with the [root@host]# prompt on the workstation that hosts the libvirt environment.
