Run the following command on the KVM host terminal: Let's break down the filename:
virt-install \
--name PA-VM-11.0 \
--ram 8192 \
--vcpus 2 \
--disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/PA-VM-KVM-11.0.qcow2,bus=virtio \
--network bridge=br0,model=virtio \
--graphics vnc,listen=0.0.0.0 \
--os-type linux \
--import
(Note: Adjust the path and bridge name to match your environment.) The qcow2 format is essential for KVM because
