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.
