I am trying to use virt-install to create a CentOS 7 virtual machine in a CentOS 7 host. Towards that end, I have been reading the virt-install documentation at the RHEL web site, and I have also been reading man virt-install and virt-install --help. I saw several types of syntax for the --disk argument in the documentation, so I picked one and came up with the syntax below, which is throwing an error. How can I create an appropriate virtual drive that can be used by the virt-install command?
Here is what I have so far:
[root@localhost home]# virt-install --name=public-centos7 --disk path=/home/publicvm --graphics none --vcpus=2 --memory=2048 --cdrom /media/usb/CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-1503-01.iso --network bridge=br0 --os-type=linux --os-variant=rhel7.0
WARNING CDROM media does not print to the text console by default, so you likely will not see text install output. You might want to use --location.See the man page for examples of using --location with CDROM media
Starting install...
ERROR internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: 2015-10-08T19:53:08.694875Z qemu-kvm: -drive file=/home/publicvm,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,format=dir: 'dir' invalid format
Domain installation does not appear to have been successful.
If it was, you can restart your domain by running:
virsh --connect qemu:///system start public-centos7
otherwise, please restart your installation.
[root@localhost home]#
Note that /home/publicvm is just a directory within the partition mounted at /home. It uses the ext4 file system.
Note: The iso file is on a usb in ntfs format. I downloaded a library to enable CentOS 7 to mount the ntfs usb from the terminal, and I checked to make sure I could read the contents of /media/usb before running the above commands. I do not imagine that this is in any way relevant to the ERROR message about the drive, however, I am adding this due to the WARNING about the cdrom command above.

Try giving the--diskoption a complete filename, not just a directory. IIRC if the file doesn't already exist, you have to specify the size in GB too. e.g.--disk /home/publicvm/myvm.img,size=10. and maybe try--location /media/usb/CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-1503-01.isorather than--cdrom ...

As discovered in chat, the solution is:
Copy your .ISO image to /var/lib/libvirt/images and run virt-install like so:
virt-install --name=public-centos7
--disk path=/home/publicvm/some.img,size=10
--graphics none
--vcpus=2
--memory=2048
--location /var/lib/libvirt/images/CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-1503-01.iso
--network bridge=br0
--os-type=linux
--os-variant=rhel7.0
--extra-args console=ttyS0
If there is a failed previous attempt still running, you need to delete and undefine it first using virsh:
virsh destroy public-centos7
virsh undefine public-centos7
