## SYNOPSIS

virt-host-validate [OPTIONS...] [HV-TYPE]

## DESCRIPTION

This tool validates that the host is configured in a suitable way to run libvirt hypervisor drivers. If invoked without any arguments it will check support for all hypervisor drivers it is aware of. Optionally it can be given a particular hypervisor type (qemu, lxc or bhyve) to restrict the checks to those relevant for that virtualization technology

## OPTIONS

-v, --version

Display the command version

-h, --help

Display the command line help

-q, --quiet

Don't display details of individual checks being performed. Only display output if a check does not pass.

## EXIT STATUS

Upon successful validation, an exit status of 0 will be set. Upon failure a non-zero status will be set.
