Install Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor
Ofter successfully installing Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager (in my previous post). The next step is to install your Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor hosts, which will be used to run your virtual machines.
Follow these steps
1. Download the latest version of the rhev-hypervisor* package from Red Hat Network.
2. Install the RPM on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux system.
# yum localinstall rhev-hypervisor*.rpm
3. Insert a blank CD into your CD writer. Use the cdrecord utility to burn the hypervisor ISO image
onto your disc. (you can also install RHEV-H through PXE Lan if you have allready configured RIS server).
# cdrecord dev=/dev/cdrw /usr/share/rhev-hypervisor/rhev-hypervisor.iso
Now you can use it to boot the machine to install Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisors
Follow therse steps:
1. Insert the RHEV Hypervisor installation CD into your CD-ROM drive and Reboot the machine.
1-Select boot from the hypervisor installation media.
2. Select Install RHEV Hypervisor.
3. Ensure that the local internal hard drive as the boot device and select Continue.
4. Select local internal hard drive a the installation device and select Continue.
5. Enter a password for local console access and confirm it.
6. Select Install and press Enter.
7. Once installation is complete, Reboot the hypervisor. Remove the installation disc.
8. After rebooted, you will be taken to a login shell. Log in as the admin user with the password you provided .
Now you have console of Hypervisor where you can configure RHEV-H according to your Lab setup.
A. Select the Network tab. Fill in the required fields as shown in the following example. Enter the DNS and NTP Server address according to your environment.(192.168.0.254 in my case).
hostname: localhost.localdomain .
DNS1: 192.168.0.254
NTP1: 192.168.0.254
Select Apply and press Enter.
Select eth0 device and press Enter to access the interface configuration menu to configure IP Address.
Under IPv4 Settings, select DHCP or Static IP addressing. for example
IP= 172.124.0.201 Mask=255.255.255.0
GW= 172.24.0.254
Select Apply and press Enter.
C. Select the RHEV-M tab. Configure the following options:
• In the Management Server field, enter rhevm.pod0.example.com (This will be your Management Server, means RHEV-M in my case it is rhevm.pod0.example.com).
• In the Management Server Port field, enter 443.
• Tick the Connect to the RHEV Manager and Validate Certificate checkbox.
D. The Set RHEV-M Admin Password field allows you to specify the root password for the hypervisor, and enable SSH password authentication from the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager.
Select Apply and press Enter. validate its certificate. Select Approve and press Enter.
Accept all other default settings.
E. Finally, select the Status tab. Select Restart and press Enter to reboot the host and apply all changes.
