KVM virtual cloud setup (as root)

Prepare folder structure

mkdir -p /cloud/xml
mkdir -p /cloud/volumes
mkdir -p /cloud/images

Download CentOS7 image

wget -O /cloud/images/centos7.iso http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/7/isos/x86_64/CentOS-7-x86_64-Minimal-1810.iso

Configure volume pool

virsh pool-define-as --name volumes --type dir --target /cloud/volumes
virsh pool-autostart volumes
virsh pool-start volumes

Configure MGT network

echo "<network>
  <name>network-mgt</name>
</network>" > /cloud/xml/network-mgt.xml
virsh net-define /cloud/network-mgt.xml
virsh net-autostart network-mgt
virsh net-start network-mgt

Configure SAN network

echo "<network>
  <name>network-san</name>
</network>" > /cloud/xml/network-san.xml
virsh net-define /cloud/network-san.xml
virsh net-autostart network-san
virsh net-start network-san

Configure CP vm

echo "<domain type='kvm'>

</domain>" > /cloud/xml/vm-cp.xml
virsh vol-create-as --pool volumes --name vm-cp-vda --capacity 20G --format qcow2
virsh define /cloud/xml/vm-cp.xml

Install CentOS7 on the CP vm

virsh change-media --domain vm-cp --path sda --source /cloud/images/centos7.iso --insert --config
virsh start vm-cp

Connect using VNC client to port 5001 and install CentOS7, configuring eth1 with a static 192.168.1.1/24 IP. Once the install is complete, reboot the VM.

virsh destroy vm-cp
virsh change-media --domain vm-cp --path sda --eject --live --config
virsh start vm-cp
