[libvirt-users] virt-install Error

[kendennit]

I did not start any VM. My intention is to check the virt-install command
to make sure all packages and tools are in place.
So basically, I expect the below output

[root at localhost Packages]# virt-install
ERROR
--name is required
--ram amount in MB is required
--disk storage must be specified (override with --nodisks)
An install method must be specified
(--location URL, --cdrom CD/ISO, --pxe, --import, --boot hd|cdrom|...)
[root at localhost Packages]#

Instead I get error, "Host doesn't support any virtualizations options"

Thx,
kenden
