   1# q35 - VirtIO guest (graphical console)
   2# =========================================================
   3#
   4# Usage:
   5#
   6#   $ qemu-system-x86_64 \
   7#     -nodefaults \
   8#     -readconfig q35-virtio-graphical.cfg
   9#
  10# You will probably need to tweak the lines marked as
  11# CHANGE ME before being able to use this configuration!
  12#
  13# The guest will have a selection of VirtIO devices
  14# tailored towards optimal performance with modern guests,
  15# and will be accessed through a graphical console.
  16#
  17# ---------------------------------------------------------
  18#
  19# Using -nodefaults is required to have full control over
  20# the virtual hardware: when it's specified, QEMU will
  21# populate the board with only the builtin peripherals
  22# plus a small selection of core PCI devices and
  23# controllers; the user will then have to explicitly add
  24# further devices.
  25#
  26# The core PCI devices show up in the guest as:
  27#
  28#   00:00.0 Host bridge
  29#   00:1f.0 ISA bridge / LPC
  30#   00:1f.2 SATA (AHCI) controller
  31#   00:1f.3 SMBus controller
  32#
  33# This configuration file adds a number of other useful
  34# devices, more specifically:
  35#
  36#   00:01.0 VGA compatible controller
  37#   00:1b.0 Audio device
  38#   00.1c.* PCI bridge (PCI Express Root Ports)
  39#   01:00.0 SCSI storage controller
  40#   02:00.0 Ethernet controller
  41#   03:00.0 USB controller
  42#
  43# More information about these devices is available below.

  46# Machine options
  47# =========================================================
  48#
  49# We use the q35 machine type and enable KVM acceleration
  50# for better performance.
  51#
  52# Using less than 1 GiB of memory is probably not going to
  53# yield good performance in the guest, and might even lead
  54# to obscure boot issues in some cases.

  69# them will be used by devices, the rest will remain

 136# attached to it.
 137#

 139# purposes: once the guest OS has been successfully
 140# installed, the guest will no longer boot from optical
 141# media. If you don't want, or no longer want, to have an
 142# optical disk in the guest you can safely comment out
