Task:

The first thing upon getting the libvirt daemon running, and the hypervisor module loaded, is to being experimenting with managing libvirt with the virt-manager program. If you are running Windows, you will need to setup X11 forwarding on your server and use a program called "Xming", which is an X11 server for windows, and Putty to connect and run the program off the server. Experiment with the different virtual network setups and see what they do to the system and what properties they have. Once you are comfortable with that, you are to setup a routed virtual network on your machine. The Subnet you use should follow this format:

If your machine is 172.29.0.80 on the ACM network, then your virtual network should be 172.29.80.0/24. Do not use DHCP for your virtual network, configure the IP statically for now.

Once that is done, install an Arch Linux VM on your machine and do the basic setup for it. The minimum resources this VM needs is 1 CPU thread, 512MB of RAM, and 5-10GB of storage space.
