KVM Configuration
KVM Installation and configuration 1. Install the RHEL FOR 64Bit. 2. Create the Yum Server For RHEL 64Bit. 3. Now check the virtualization flag [root@vijay ~]# egrep '(vmx|svm)' --color=always /proc/cpuinfo 4. To install KVM and virtinst (a tool to create virtual machines), we run [root@vijay ~]# yum install kvm* qemu* libvirt* python-virtinst* 5. Then start the libvirt daemon: [root@vijay ~]# /etc/init.d/libvirtd start 6. To check if KVM has successfully been installed, run [root@vijay ~]# virsh -c qemu:///system list It should display something like this: Id Name State ---------------------------------7. To do this, we install the package bridge-utils... [root@vijay ~]# yum install bridge-utils* 8. I disable NetworkManager and enable "normal" networking. NetworkManager is good for desktops where network connections can change (e.g. LAN vs. WLAN), but on a server you usually don't change network connections: [root@vijay ~]# /etc/init.d/NetworkManager stop [root@vijay ~]# chkconfig NetworkManager off [root@vijay ~]# /etc/init.d/network restart 9. To configure the bridge, create the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0 (please use the BOOTPROTO, DNS1 (plus any other DNS settings, if any), GATEWAY, IPADDR, NETMASK and SEARCH values from the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file): [root@vijay ~]# vim /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0 ################################################################ DEVICE=br0 TYPE=Bridge VIJAY SINGH BOOTPROTO=static GATEWAY=192.168.0.1 IPADDR=192.168.0.100 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 ONBOOT=yes ################################################################ 10. Modify /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 as follows (comment out BOOTPROTO, DNS1 (and all other DNS servers, if any), GATEWAY, IPADDR, NETMASK, and SEARCH and add BRIDGE=br0): [root@vijay ~]# vim /etc/sysconfig/network-script/ifcfg-eth0 ############################################################## DEVICE=eth0 #BOOTPROTO=none #DNS1=145.253.2.75 #GATEWAY=192.168.0.1 HWADDR=00:1e:90:f3:f0:02 #IPADDR=192.168.0.100 #NETMASK=255.255.255.0
