How to edit KVM VM profile which is created by virt-manager and add port-forwarding function?
Virt-manager hides some functions such as port-forwarding. We can edit the VM profile form terminal.
# virsh --connect qemu:///system
List all VMs in virsh envrionment
virsh # list --all
Edit VM’s profile
virsh # edit <VM's name>
Add qemu namespace
old:
<domain type='kvm'>
new:
<domain type='kvm' xmlns:qemu='http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/qemu/1.0'>
Change network type from network to user
old:
<interface type='network'>
<mac address='xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx'/>
<model type='e1000'/>
<source network='default'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>
</interface>
new:
<interface type='user'>
<mac address='xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx'/>
<model type='e1000'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>
</interface>
Add port-forwarding arguments before tag </domain>
<qemu:commandline>
<qemu:arg value='-redir'/>
<qemu:arg value='tcp:2001::3389'/>
<qemu:arg value='-redir'/>
<qemu:arg value='tcp:2002::80'/>
</qemu:commandline>
