Next, you must install the tools to administer the platform:<\/p>\n

–virt-manager<\/strong> provides a GUI tool to administer virtual machines.<\/p>\n

–libvirt-client<\/strong> provides a CL tool called virsh to administer virtual environment.<\/p>\n

–virt-install<\/strong> provides the command \u201cvirt-install\u201d to create virtual machines from CLI.<\/p>\n

–libvirt<\/strong> provides the server and host side libraries for interacting with hypervisors and host systems.<\/p>\n

The next step is to restart libvirtd<\/strong> virtualization daemon, which manages the entire platform and check its status.<\/p>\n

To create the virtual machines, we recommend the use of virt-manager. Check the whole process with screenshots in the original article by Tecmint.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

In our post today we explain how to deploy and create KVM<\/strong> virtual machines under Red Hat<\/strong> based distros, such as RHEL, CentOS7 and Fedora 21<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

First of all, you should make sure that the system has the necessary hardware virtualization extensions<\/strong> or that such extensions are enabled in the BIOS and that the KVM modules are loaded in the kernel.<\/p>\n

Then, you should install packages qemu-kvm and qemu-img.
