create system using command line console

I would like to know how to create a empty system using the CLI console. as described on this website it should be like this (http://www.virtualmin.com/documentation/cloudmin/devel/cli/create_empty_...)

cloudmin create-empty-system.pl --type xen --host functest --desc 'Empty host' --xen-disksize 1024 --image xen-lenny-cd

But that is when using XEN as a hypervisor but i'm actually using KVM. and i already tried replacing every XEN with KVM in that sentenced and it did not work. and i also put down all the good directories.

Could someone please enlighten me how this can be done

I've noticed that i get the following options when creating the system

cloudmin create-system --host name [--unix-host name] --type kvm [--desc "system description"] --ssh-key keyid | --ssh-pass password | --no-ssh [--webmin | --webmin-pass password] [--novirt] [--image id] [--no-update] [--serial number --key number] | [--same-serial] | [--allocate-serial] [--no-check-serial] [--id number] [--disk-directory dir] [--owner name] [--kvm-ip address[,address]] [--kvm-cidr number[,number]] [--kvm-netmask mask,[mask]] [--kvm-gw address[,address|*]] [--kvm-bridge name[,name]] [--kvm-disksize megabytes] [--kvm-swap megabytes] [--kvm-memory megabytes] [--kvm-cpu percent] [--kvm-vcpus number] [--kvm-cores number] [--kvm-ioclass priority] [--kvm-ip6 ipv6-address,[ipv6-address]] [--kvm-netmask6 mask,[mask]] [--kvm-gw6 ipv6-address,[ipv6-address]] [--kvm-allocate-ip6 true|false] [--kvm-lvm true|false] [--kvm-virtio true|false] [--kvm-model rtl8139|i82551|i82557b|i82559er|ne2k_pci|ne2k_isa|e1000|virtio|pcnet|lance|mcf_fec] [--kvm-start true|false] [--kvm-vga true|false] [--kvm-firewall true|false] [--kvm-iscsi hostname] [--kvm-args parameters]

But this is very hard to make if nothing else is given to make this.

Howdy,

What error(s) do you receive when trying to create a KVM system on the command line?

I actually don't get any errors but i only get the cloudmin create-system with all the parameters that can be fullfilled when trying to create this using the CLI method

So i get a long list like listed above in my previous post
