Stuff relevant to qemu-kvm
Create a qcow2 disk image
This will be provisoned "thinly" so the file will grow as data is written into it.
kvm-img create -f qcow2 mydisk.qcow2 8G
Install a VM from the command line using virt-install
This will spin up a new VM given an existing disk image.
virt-install --name <<Your machine name>> --hvm --ram 512 --disk path=<<path to your existing OS image>>,format=qcow2,bus=virtio --import --network bridge=br100,model=virtio --vnc --os-type=linux --os-variant=debianwheezy
