This section describes how to prepare the physical host and virtual environment
|
|

Prepare virtual environment and servers

|

|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
The following commands for host, virtual environment setup, and host
|
|
power-on use KVM / virsh for virtual machine and VM management
|
|
technology. For an alternative virtualization environment, see:
|
|
:doc:`Install StarlingX in VirtualBox <install_virtualbox>`.
|
|
|
|
#. Prepare virtual environment.
|
|
|
|
Set up virtual platform networks for virtual deployment:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
bash setup_network.sh
|
|
|
|
#. Prepare virtual servers.
|
|
|
|
Create the XML definitions for the virtual servers required by this
|
|
configuration option. This will create the XML virtual server definition for:
|
|
|
|
* dedicatedstorage-controller-0
|
|
* dedicatedstorage-controller-1
|
|
* dedicatedstorage-storage-0
|
|
* dedicatedstorage-storage-1
|
|
* dedicatedstorage-worker-0
|
|
* dedicatedstorage-worker-1
|
|
|
|
The following command will start/virtually power on:
|
|
|
|
* The 'dedicatedstorage-controller-0' virtual server
|
|
* The X-based graphical virt-manager application
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
bash setup_configuration.sh -c dedicatedstorage -i ./bootimage.iso
|
|
|
|
If there is no X-server present errors will occur and the X-based GUI for the
|
|
virt-manager application will not start. The virt-manager GUI is not absolutely
|
|
required and you can safely ignore errors and continue.
