<small>Hello,<br>
<br>
We use KVM with libvirt on a scientific instrument designed to
supports experiment-driven research in all areas of computer
science related to large-scale parallel or distributed systems.<br>
<br>
<span id="result_box" class="" lang="en"><span class="hps">Our
users</span> <span class="hps">do not have</span> <span
class="hps">root access on</span> <span class="hps">the
production environment</span><span class="">. </span></span></small><span
id="result_box" class="" lang="en"><small><span class="hps">A
script</span> based on "sudo" <span class="hps">is</span> <span
class="hps">available </span><span class="hps">to create</span>
<span class="hps">tap</span> <span class="hps">devices
(tap0...tapn)</span></small><span class=""><small>. So they
can run their guest VMs with "kvm" or "virsh" commands using
the defined tap devices and a defined range of MAC adresses
(we have an ACL for DHCP requests from all VMs).<br>
<br>
Now, we want to allow the users to use "virt-install" with a
tap device already created.<br>
So we want to evaluate if adding that option to "virt-install"
is difficult or not?<br>
<br>
Thanks for your help,<br>
Regards,</small><br>
