Create and Deploy on KVM

For complete KVM documentation, refer to http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Documents.

Install the Virtualization Host group and virt-install.

# yum groupinstall "Virtualization Host"
# yum install virt-install

Extract the image.

# tar xvf nnSCZ739.64-img-vm_kvm.tar
nnSCZ739.64-img-vm_kvm.ovf
nnSCZ739.64-img-vm_kvm.qcow2
legal.txt

Use virt-manager to create the management and media network interfaces.
- Create a virtual bridged network for management interfaces.
- Create virtual networks for media interfaces.
Provision a new virtual machine.
```

--name

Identify a unique name for the virtual machine on this hypervisor.

--description

Describe this virtual machine.

--os-type

Specify the operating system type.

--os-variant

Optimize the configuration for a specific operating system.

--ram

Allocate a specific amount of RAM to this virtual machine.

--vcpus

Allocate a specific number of virtual CPUs to this virtual machine.

--disk

Specify the path to the disk image.

--network

Connect the virtual machine to a host network.

--import

Skip the operating system installation process and build a guest around the disk image specified with --disk.

--cpu

Configure the CPU model and CPU features exposed to the virtual machine.

See man virt-install for more information.

Note:
The --cpuset and --numatune options may be used to establish CPU affinity and socket pinning.
