How to enable self-built qemu as a backend in virtmanager/virsh?

I have built a qemu with some modifications, and it can run correctly with cmd like ./qemu-system-x86-64 ...., but I failed to integrate it into virt-manger, even if I added it to PATH ahead of default system lib.

Solution

  • There is an option in XML file, you can edit it to enable your own qemu.

    <devices>
    <emulator>/path/to/your/qemu-system-x86_64</emulator>
    <disk type='file' device='disk'>
