==Prepare Prepare Prepare!!==
This is going to take some time so get yourself comfortable. Maybe get some music going in the background and get a drink or something, seriously. For this example the Host/Hypervisor I am using the Host or Hypervisor is running on Fedora 15 x64. Do yourself a favor and make the Host 64 bit because you really need to take advantage of the RAM. Here are my Host/Hypervisor specs:
*Dual core 3ghz proc

#*This is where you need that ID. Hit the browse button by '''"source path"'''and navigate to /dev/disk/by-id From there pick the one with the filename that matches your number ID. '''Don't screw this up or you can blow your host system away!!'''
#*'''My system has the 160gb drive dedicated to the VMs. By following this proceedure you will blow away all data on the secondary drivedevice you choose. BE CAREFUL!! YOU ARE IN CHARGE OF YOUR SYSTEM, NOT ME!!!'''

#*Once you pick the correct device you should have this. Check the "build pool" box so the Volume group gets created on the device.
==VM integration==
Your VM will be assigned a private network address by KVM. Normally its 192.168.22.X This address will be NATed by default to the network the host is attached to. In my case my host machine called KVM is on my network with my Amahi HDA as well as alot of other devices. I assigned KVM a static address in the Amahi control panel just because its a server. You don't have to if you don't want to. Whats cool is that the VM uses all the network information from the Host. This means that your new VM is effectivly on your network and will resolve all the home devices via the DNS server in Amahi. You can also create an alias in the Amahi networking panel so its possible to reach the VM from anyplace. It rounds things out nicely. This setup is especially usefull if you are running another Amahi HDA for development because the separation of the networks means that the dev HDA will not interfere with the normal workings of the "production" home network. I see this alot on IRC where guys are hesitant to test because it interferes with their setup.
