Description Agostino Sarubbo 2016-03-28 20:08:43 UTC

virt-install --help shows:
usage: virt-install --name NAME --ram RAM STORAGE INSTALL [options]


However in the help there is no trace of --ram, but there is --memory


So, should --ram be replaced by --memory? Or if it is a different function/feature, you just need to document --ram to avoid confusion.



# virt-install --version

Thanks for the report. --ram is an old option that's superceded by --memory. --ram still works but it's not recommended anymore. I fixed the --help output to suggest --memory instead:
