SharedVMs and AutostartVMs. VMs in first directory should be started explicitely one by one using **vws start** command.
VMs and second one are started at once by **vws autostart**.
Note that there also is **vws shutdown** command which tries to stop any running VM it finds - shared or personal, autostarted or not.
Creating Virtual Machines
=========================
There are reasonable defaults for almost all machine parameters in the
```/etc/vws.conf```. So, you just speciy those parameters you want to change.
Importing images from other systems
-----------------------------------
VM in **vws** consists of at least disk image and start script.
So, if you want to use VM disk image created by some other virtualization system (virsh, oVirt, VirtualBox, VMWare), you have to *create VM from existing image*.
Just specify your image in the **--image** option of create command, and it would be converted from its original format to qemu qcow2 format and start file would be written.
Creating VMs by installation from ISO image
-------------------------------------------
If you specify ISO image via **--install** option to **vws create**, newly created virtual machine would be started immediately and given image attached to its virtual CD-ROM drive, so installation process starts.
