CYBONET Solutions on KVM Quick Installation Guide

The following manual provides assistance in installing CYBONET’s product’s Virtual Machine on KVM

KVM OVERVIEW

Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) is a hardware-assisted, fully virtualized solution for Linux on x86 hardware that contains virtualization extensions (specifically Intel VT or AMD-V). After you install KVM, you can run multiple guests (virtual machines), with each guest running a different operating system image. Each of these virtual machines has private, virtualized hardware, including a network card, storage, memory, and graphics adapter.

INSTALLING CYBONET VIRTUAL MACHINES WITH VIRT-MANAGER

The virt-manager application is a desktop user interface for managing virtual machines through libvirt. It primarily targets KVM VMs, but also manages Xen and LXC (linux containers). It presents a summary view of running domains, their live performance & resource utilization statistics. Wizards enable the creation of new domains, and configuration & adjustment of a domain’s resource allocation & virtual hardware. An embedded VNC and SPICE client viewer presents a full graphical console to the guest domain.
