Command Line equivalent to virt-manager GUI VM creation












0















I have been using virt-manager to create KVM VMs on my Ubuntu 18.04.1 host.



I would like to now create the same VMs from the command line. I customize the VMs before beginning installation - ie using UEFI firmware instead of BIOS for instance.



Is there an easy way to get the equivalent command line creation of VM?



Is there a log file they are written too?



Thanks



Densha
