[OpenIndiana-discuss] /hipster: kvm questions

[Alexander Pyhalov]

Hi.
We miss spice libs to build qemu with them. I don't know if somebody has looked at porting them.

To replay to myself:

$ qemu-kvm -h | grep spice
-spice <args>   enable spice

$ qemu-kvm -spice help
qemu-kvm: -spice help: there is no option group "spice"
spice is not supported by this qemu build.

Command to start guest:
$ qemu-kvm -m 1536M -cpu host -drive
file=/dev/zvol/rdsk/pz512/VBoxGuests/Win10_64-HD1 -netdev user,id=vlan0
-net nic,model=e1000,netdev=vlan0 -k de -smp 1 -localtime  -soundhw all
-no-hpet -bios /usr/share/qemu/bios.bin -usbdevice tablet -monitor
tcp:0:55010,server,nowait -daemonize

Regards.
