# 12, VirtIO Windows LAB .
# Defining variables :
  vm=win1
  virsh='virsh --connect qemu:///system'
  virt_install='virt-install --connect qemu:///system'


# Installing virtio driver :
  if rpm -qa | grep virtio-win; then :; else sudo dnf install -y virtio-win; fi


# Creating a new volume :
  $virsh vol-create-as my_pool $vm.qcow2 40G --format qcow2


# Creating the VM :
  $virt_install \
    --name=$vm \
    --ram=2048 \
    --vcpus=2 \
    --network bridge=br0,model=virtio \
    --graphics vnc \
    --noautoconsole \
    --noreboot \
    --os-variant win10 \
    --disk "vol=my_pool/$vm.qcow2",bus=virtio \
    --disk ~/win10.iso,device=cdrom,boot.order=1 \
    --disk /usr/share/virtio-win/virtio-win.iso,device=cdrom,boot.order=2 \
    --boot cdrom


<<useful_notes
  
  # Note 1 :
    = [--boot] is used because of we didnt issue any booting[installing] option ,
    = I mean one of [--location, --cdrom, --pxe, --import, --boot] .

  # Note 2 :
    = Without [boot.order], We should arrange [--disk] lines in a specific order .

  # Note 3 :
    = Unlike linux, I think that we should specify [model=virtio, bus=virtio] for windows ,
    = I mean even with using [--os-variant win10] .
