Enable Yum Repositories

To use the Oracle KVM Stack, the ol9_kvm_utils yum repository must be enabled before installing the virtualization packages.

Note:

The Default KVM Stack is available in the core system repositories and can be installed without enabling any other repositories. If the Oracle KVM Stack is already installed and you intend to switch KVM stacks, see Switch KVM Stacks for more details.
