→Investigation 6: Kickstart Files
# Compare these files. What are the differences? Similarities? (Tip: you may want to use tools such as <code>sdiff</code> to help with the comparison).
# How could you use the kickstart file produced by the installation program to perform additional, identical installations?
=== Investigation 7: Managing Virtual Machines from the Command Line ===
# Start the ''fedora1'' virtual machine, and stop the ''fedora2'' and ''fedora3'' virtual machines.
# Enter these commands and note the result:
#* <code>virsh list</code>
#* <code>virsh list --all</code>
#* <code>virsh list --inactive</code>
# Start the ''fedora3'' virtual machine from the command line: <code>virsh start fedora3</code>
# Repeat the commands from step 2 and notice any changes.
# Stop the ''fedora3'' virtual machine: <code>virsh shutdown fedora3</code>
# Confirm that ''fedora3'' has been shut down.
# Execute this command: <code>virsh dumpxml fedora3 >fedora3.xml</code>
# Examine the file <code>fedora3.xml</code>. What does it contain? What format is it in?
# Edit the file fedora3.xml, making the following changes:
#* Change the name to <code>fedora3a</code>
#* Change at least one of the hexadecimal characters in the UUID. Do not change the length of the UUID. Valid hexadecimal characters are 0-9 and a-f.
# Issue this command: <code>virsh define fedora3.xml</code>
# Issue the command <code>virsh list --all</code> and record any changes.
# Issue the command: <code>virsh undefine fedora3a</code>
# List all of the virtual machines again, and note any changes.
