Initialize a VM without starting the guest
dryrun
None
Specify the dryrun option in a VM's configuration to have the qvm process instance initialize the complete environment in which a guest will run, then exit before it starts the guest. If the VM configuration isn't valid, the qvm process instance logs an error before exiting. Error logging will use the mechanisms configured by the guest (see the logger option in this chapter).
This option is especially useful when working with FDTs, and can be used in conjunction with the set option's fdt-dump-file argument (see “ARM arguments” in the set option in this chapter, and “FDTs (ARM)” in the “Configuration” chapter).
