Running the Guest System
Run the exagear command to start an x86 shell (also called guest shell) and enter the virtual x86 operating environment.
1 | exagear |
Command output: Starting /bin/bash in the guest image /opt/exagear/images/centos-<os_version>-x86_64
1 | arch |
Command output: x86_64
You have entered the x86 operating environment. The absolute path on the host is /opt/exagear/images/centos-<os_version>-x86_64.
The guest shell runs in the same way as it runs on an x86 server.
User accounts are shared between the host and guest systems. When a user is added to or deleted from the guest system, the operation is automatically performed on the host system. The /home directory is also shared between the host and guest systems. (For details, see Configuring ExaGear for Server on CentOS.)
Run the exit command to exit the guest session.
1 | exit
|
After returning to the host system, run the following command:
1 | arch |
Command output: aarch64
The default shell on the system is Bash. Before calling ExaGear, you can set shell environment variables to use preferred shells, such as csh and ksh, on the guest system.
