Sorry for reposting shortly, but I need to add something more: >>> is it possible to create a standalone HVM based on an existing Qubes >>> template? >> Yes, qvm-create --standalone --template TEMPLATE_NAME ... > Wow, I didn't know that, I think this is the best approach, as I have the > benefits from both worlds
I tried to follow your suggestion and created new VM based on an existing template: qvm-create --standalone --template=t-fedora-25-minimal --label=blue --mem=2048 --vcpus=2 my-test But this will create an AppVM not a HVM which is based on the choosen template. I've installed some packages, rebooted and the changes where persistent, but we were talking about HVMs not AppVMs - as far as I understand (reading from the Qubes docu): HVM (Hardware Virtual Machine) = fully virtualized, or hardware-assisted, [VM](https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/glossary/#vm) utilizing the virtualization extensions of the host CPU Whereas the AppVM is a paravirtualized VM. Strangely I don't see the Enable Seamless Mode button in Qubes Manager with the VM I have created with the above command. When enabling Debug-Mode there is also now Boot-Up/Full VM-window, the (standalone App)VM is a seamless VM. If I use qvm-run to open applications the appear without any problems. So what is the benefit of using Debug Mode? There are no options "qrexec_installed" and "guiagent_installed", these seem to exist only with HVMs. *** Question *** Is it also possible to migrate a standalone AppVM to vsphere with the hint you gave me?
