This module provides a new type, virt, for virtual machines installation and management like ensure running and so on. All the operations will be made using libvirt library. At first, only Xen fullyvirtualization, Xen paravirtualization, KVM and OpenVZ are supported.

Autorequires: If Puppet is managing Xen or KVM guests, the virt resource will autorequire libvirt library.

Example:

virt { server:
  ensure      => running,
  id          => 101,
  os_template => "ubuntu-10.10",
  virt_type   => openvz,
  autoboot    => false
}

Note that some values can be specified as an array of values:

virt { server:
  ensure      => installed,
  memory      => 512,
  os_template => "ubuntu-10.10-x86_64",
  virt_type   => openvz,
  autoboot    => true,
  interfaces  => [ "eth0a", "eth1a"]
}
