<p>Cockpit can manage virtual machines running on the host.
These can be accessed from menu via <span class="emphasis"><em>Virtual Machines</em></span></p>
<p>Primary datasource is <a class="ulink" href="https://www.qemu.org/" target="_top">QEMU</a> / <a class="ulink" href="https://libvirt.org/" target="_top">Libvirt</a>,
access to Libvirtd is wrapped by the <a class="ulink" href="http://libvirt.org/virshcmdref.html" target="_top">virsh</a> tool.</p>

<p>
In order to run <span class="emphasis"><em>cockpit-machines</em></span> plugin inside a virtual machine
or run the tests for this component, you'll need nested KVM virtualization enabled
(refer <code class="code">test/verify/nested-kvm</code> or
<a class="ulink" href="https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_enable_nested_virtualization_in_KVM" target="_top">
How to enable nested virtualization in KVM</a> to get more information).

<p>
Base package <span class="emphasis"><em>cockpit-machines</em></span> for management of virtual machines is based on Libvirt and
can be farther extended for features of higher level management applications (like oVirt) via concept
of providers (i.e. <a class="link" href="feature-ovirtvirtualmachines.html" title="oVirt Virtual Machines">oVirt Virtual Machines</a>).
</p>
<p>
Both <span class="emphasis"><em>cockpit-machines-ovirt</em></span> and <span class="emphasis"><em>cockpit-machines</em></span> RPM packages can be
installed together but only one of them can be loaded at a time depending on the <span class="emphasis"><em>priority</em></span>
attribute set in <span class="emphasis"><em>manifest.json</em></span> files.
</p>
<p>
By default, <span class="emphasis"><em>cockpit-machines-ovirt</em></span> takes precedence over <span class="emphasis"><em>cockpit-machines</em></span>.
