setup 4 create vm,and then,use client like remmina to connections with vnc.
# virsh create sample.xml #or: # virsh define sample . xml and then start vm: # virsh start sample
setup 5 backup vm 5.1 vm backup: snapshot
create xml file named sample_snaoshot.xml
# vim sample_snapshot.xml

## at first,the vm's status is shutdown
# virt-clone --original sample --name ser01 --file /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/vms/ser01/ser01.qcow2 6.2 when complete this job edit /etc/libvirt/qemu/ser01.xml,modify the new vm’s MAC , VNC port,hostname,ip address , loginname etc.
