With below command I able to create a VM & I can see the mac address as well .

virt-install --virt-type=kvm --name newclicentos --ram 6144 --vcpus=2 --import --network=bridge=br0,model=virtio --graphics vnc --disk path=centos7.0.qcow2,size=60,bus=virtio,format=qcow2 --os-variant centos7.0 --mac=00:00:00:00:01:01


With below command I am trying to assign an IP address , however it throws error .
I dont want to give --location as I already have the vm build in centos7.0.qcow2
Is there a was I can assign static IP to my VM ?

[***@localhost tmp]# virt-install --virt-type=kvm --name newclicentos --ram 6144 --vcpus=2 --import --network=bridge=br0,model=virtio --extra-args "ip=10.254.173.99::10.254.172.1::255.255.254.0::newclicentos:eth0:none" --mac=00:00:00:00:01:01 --graphics vnc --disk path=centos7.0.qcow2,size=60,bus=virtio,format=qcow2

You've not given libvirt anything to install; therefore, it has nothing it
can tell about the IP address. Are you intending, for example, to add a
mapping between MAC and IP address to a DHCP server for later use?

Hi Peter ,

I’m using centos7.0.qcow2 which is a centos already and hence not given any OS/IOS .

My intention is to assign a static Mac and IP address that I wish to , which I will use later for easy use (no dhcp in this scenario , Infact I was able to get ip from dhcp with no problem)
