Answer
Run the below command to create a new virtual machine as required.
# virt-install --name=CentOS-VM --disk path=/dev/sda10 --graphics spice --vcpu=1 --ram=1024 --location=/home/user1/Documents/CentOS-6.8-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso --network bridge=virbr0
Here,
--name is for defining specific name for VM
--disk path is for destination of VM stored
--graphics which is spice as a default for KVM
--vcpu is the number of CPUs
--ram for number of RAM usage
--location is where the .iso is located
--network refers to the Bridged one.
Thus it will start creating a new VM and continue with respective Console.
