exit

Install vagrant-kvm as user

vagrant plugin install vagrant-kvm 

Config kvm

sudo vim /etc/modprobe.d/kvm.conf
cat /etc/modprobe.d/kvm.conf
    options kvm-intel nested=1
    options kvm-amd   nested=1

Add ubuntu trusty image

vagrant box add trusty64 https://vagrant-kvm-boxes-si.s3.amazonaws.com/trusty64-kvm-20140418.box
vagrant box list

Create Vagrantfile

mkdir -p ~/vagrant/test
cd ~/vagrant/test
vagrant init trusty64

Config Vagrantfile

Vagrant.configure('2') do |config|
  config.vm.box = "trusty64"

  config.vm.network :public_network, ip: "192.168.11.197"
  config.vm.network :private_network, ip: "192.168.123.10"
  config.vm.provider :kvm do |kvm, override|
    kvm.memory_size     = '2048m'
  end
end

Vagrant up

vagrant up --provider=kvm

Login to VM

vagrant ssh

Multi-node Vagrantfile example

Vagrant.configure('2') do |config|
  config.vm.box = "trusty64"
  
  config.vm.define :control do |control|
    control.vm.hostname = "controller"
    control.vm.network :public_network
    control.vm.network :private_network, ip: "192.168.123.10"
    control.vm.provider :kvm do |kvm, override|
      kvm.memory_size     = '2048m'
    end
  end

  config.vm.define :network do |network|
    network.vm.hostname = "network"
    network.vm.network :public_network
    network.vm.network :private_network, ip: "192.168.123.12"
    network.vm.provider :kvm do |kvm, override|
      kvm.memory_size     = '2048m'
    end
  end

end

Access to node

convert kvm box to libvirt box

vagrant mutate trusty64 libvirt

Config Vagrantfile

Vagrant.configure('2') do |config|

    control.vm.provider :kvm do |kvm, override|
      kvm.memory_size     = '2048m'
    end
    control.vm.provider :libvirt do |libvirt, override|
      libvirt.memory = 2048
      libvirt.nested = true
    end
  end

  config.vm.define :network do |network|
    network.vm.hostname = "network"
    network.vm.network :public_network
