"*2. Install Solaris*

First of all, create a QCOW2 image. There are several installation options
for Solaris 10, but believe me you want a developer’s installation. You
want bash, you want SSH, say yes… A developer’s installation needs about
6GB space, so it’s safe to create a image larger than 6GB
1
qemu-img create -f qcow2 solaris.qcow2 7G

Then you need a libvirt.xml file to start the VM. libvirt.xml is a
configuration file for a VM. You can define everything about the VM in this
file, including the number of cores, memory size, disk, network, etc. The
following listing is a template of libvirt.xml used for Solaris
installation."
