HI,

I'll assume Ubuntu here, after installing KVM, libvirt + tools as per their server guide below:

https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/serverguide/libvirt.html

Here is a command I used just the other day to spin up a quick centos install, then I just connected to the gui installer via VNC

Code:

virt-install -n centos_test -r 4096 \
--disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/centos-test.img,bus=virtio,size=6 -c \
/var/lib/libvirt/images/CentOS-6.5-x86_64-minimal.iso --network network=default,model=virtio \
--graphics vnc,listen=0.0.0.0 --noautoconsole -v

Once the OS is installed you can setup either ssh for linux or rdp for windows

Regards, Daniel

Thanks for an idea. though im not sure about this part "rdp for windows". How to setup it while centOS was installed on a VPS (at least i understood it according to command u mentioned).

Yep that was just an example. windows would look similar to the below:

Code:

virt-install -n win7-vm -r 4096 \
--disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/win7.img,bus=virtio,size=6 -c \
/var/lib/libvirt/images/win7-64bit.iso --network network=default,model=virtio \
--graphics vnc,listen=0.0.0.0 --noautoconsole -v
